Animation scene

Sky dome - Space Dome
I have created space dome for the scene.  This is very simple.   The background could be improved with a better quality texture. In the future I could use Photoshop to make own space texture.  

These two spheres have two planet texture on the them.  These textures are of better quality than space texture.  The planets added more to scene by adding to the background of the action.  



Particles



This is the particle effect in Maya. This allows you to make various different particle affects which you can modify on how you want the particle to move,size,number,how long it will animate for and you can add various different forces. 

This tool could be used to make engine thruster or explosions in the animation. 

Test Camera render


This is my first attempt with doing the first scene using camera for this screen.  This very poor quality,problems with lighting and he is not very smooth movements either. 



Rigging - Used the skeleton to create joints tool to start to create skeleton for the hand 3d model.  This tool allows you to rig a hand.


I have added all the joints to the 3D hand,  Now this is ready to  animate.
 I used the interactive bind skin.This tool allows you to modify on how you want to move the rig.  Allows yo to pick what areas you want to affect while moving it.   This can be very useful for a hand since there multiple different movements which include wrist,fingers and thumb etc.

Extra tools animation

I created multiple 3d primitives and added newton physics on them. Down below you can see how the objects react to each other when newton psychics is applied.  
You can see newton physics applied to the 3d objects.  This tool would be great for using animation if I need 3d objects in my animation to collide togther.  







I used tool vortex this allows a 3b object go around and around.

Down below you can see it turning around.  This tool could be used for asteroids in the animation.

Week 10

I used the CV curve tool which allows you create a curve.  

I used rebuild tool which allows the curve to have more points and smoothed it out.  This make the object that I will be animating more smoothly instead of jagged effect.  This will help when I'm animating my star wars ships.  Just like beizer curve you will be able to attach cameras too which can be seen below. 



I used firework tool to create fireworks. 



You can change various different settings to get various different effects.  Down below I created sphere and selected fire tool.  

The sphere is on fire.  This tool can be used if I want to set my objects in animation on fire.   You can experiment with settings to get the affect you want.
