What problems did I face on Friday

The problems I faced on Thursday were understanding the vocabulary used on the paper and following the directions. What I learned was to try and solve my problems by figuring things out.

How to Rotate and Position Half Sphere on Pedestal

I would use the rotation tool and rotate the the flat side on the bottom then I would use the translation to position it on the pedestal.

MAYA Questions

1. How do we animate more ?

2. How do we change colors ?

3. How do you add objects to your animation ?

MAYA Program

 Things I Learned

1. I learned how to make a cube - you go to create on the  and volume primitives

2. I learned how to zoom - you hold option and scroll with ever way you want

3. I learned how to make a pyramid - you go to create on the  and volume primitives

4. I learned how to rotate the object - there is a box on the right when you move it moves the entire area

5. I learned how to make a new scene - you go to file on the menu back and click new scene

Things I don't know
1. how to animate and make the 3d objects
2. how to make other objects
3. what actions can be done on the objects
4. All the option that can be done
5. Just about everything

SMART GOAL

Specific - Better in School

Measure - Getting on A honor roll

Action - Try to pay attention more in class

Reasonable - Very reasonable

Timely - This six weeks

My smart goal is to do better in school. I would like to get on A honor because I always end up getting either a 88 or 89 in a class. To avoid getting that grade if i pay attention more in class it will help me get higher grades on test and classwork. This is very reasonable for me because I am a hard work and get all my work done on time. I plan on focusing on this goal for this six weeks and see how it goes from there.

Storyline

My animation will be about about people playing basketball. In my animations I will use many techniques. I will use motion tweens, shape tweens, mask layers, and frame by frame. I will also have to draw objects and get them to animate. For the characters will will use the bone structure tool so they can move fluently. I will also use frame by frame for certain characters in the movie.  the motion and shape tweens will help in bringing the animation together.

3 problems and solutions

1) Making the characters- use the bone tool to make bone structure

2) Partner's absent- make sure you have a plan fo that day so if your partner is absent you can still get work done

3) Objects- base them off our storyboard and real life
