Week 12

I finished animating and rendering the last few scenes of my animation. Once I had finished rendering each scene I imported the scenes into Movie Maker and edit the movie clips into place. I didn’t find this part difficult just a little time consuming.

I found this module very interesting I have done basic animation before but not to this detail and found it difficult in places especially with characters movement to what I wished. When I did some movement the body would disfigure which meant going back and changing Envelopes and recreating bones. But once the bones were in the right place the movement went well, and the movement and animation would work better.

The Rendering took a lot of time but I did expect this as I have render scenes in previous module. So I aloud more time for rendering and rendering as I finished animating scene.
I was pleased with character I created as I spent a lot of time on him and I enjoyed creating the character as I am interested in character design.

If I had more time I would spend more time on movement to get better movement from my character. I would definitely try and do character animation in the future and hopefully in a job and further my skills in 3d Studio Maxs.
