PlanNExecuteAnimation 3/25/19

I’ve done some work setting things up in the Outliner, and then proceeded to setting up a UV in order to make weighting much easier.

PlanNExecuteAnimation 3/22/19

I’ve mostly just copied things over from the left leg to the right, but have now parent constrained the knee triangle things to both the Arty_COG and the Ankle control.

PlanNExecuteAnimation 3/21/19

I’ve been working on the model along with a few other things, but among the most useful things I’ve been learning is setting a driven key. We have used this to edit visibility of objects and now have learned to use it with rigs, to make animating much easier.

PlanNExecuteAnimation 3/19/19

Starting with already set up models, I have so far learned how to modify when each item will be visible and how to use nHair to create points on the models that will move with said model, I assume to later attach legs while rigging. Also learning about “Ball Types”

nCloth 3/8/19

I messed around with keys just to see how they worked with nParticles and nCloth,  so it did a thing. Yay.

nCloth 3/7/19

I learned that nStuff is different from the solvers and such things, and then proceeded to create a cloth and bounce nParticles off of it, creating this odd effect. The lighting is poor but the image is just to get the idea across.

Rigid Body 3/6/19

I did the thing and it generally seems to be working. I had multiple issues and am still facing multiple, but since I got the thing done I guess its generally possible for me to do. yay.

Rigid Body 3/6/19

Currently using Bullet physics… or whatever that is called, to create a wrecking ball. The general setup is complete and the chain is working… I think.

Fan Quick Rig 3/1/19

Went through the rigging process by making a poor fan model and animating it. Worked, and I found out how a few things work/dont work with rigging.

Drone Modeling Fundamentals 2/26/19

I’ve jumped back into the drone video and finished up the wire. Afterwards I simply grouped everything together, duplicated everything over, and fixed the outliner to be properly set up.
