Week 5

This week i had formative with Mike where he checked my work and how im getting on with my final year film. He also told me what we have to have done by the 16th of March and i feel that im on the right tracks. Me and Russell have both done some animation this term more Russell than me but i have been set certain scenes by Russell to animate. My main purpose is to get the renders looking right and modelling the scene. I have done the majority of the modelling but Russell has also helped along the way. My main goal now is to find away to animate the grass in the scene to give it more realsim. I was going to use dynamics but the was taking far too long to process on my laptop and the renders why taking a very long time to. So i found a way to animate the grass paint effect from a tutorial online. Under the grass paint effects settings there are loads of different parameters you can play about with that animate the grass for you. This save so much time on the processing done by the computer and its done in realtime as well. The render times dont seem to be that bad either.
