Week Nine

Now the production of the animation is in full effect things seem to progress much rapidly than previous weeks. The TV first room had to be finished, having previously modelled all the objects in this room. The next step in order to complete this room was changing the textures of the room so it was in greyscale instead of colour. The entire room looks much better without colour and it suits exactly the idea which was originally agreed upon in the design process.


With the first room put aside for now until the characters need to be merged the rock room was my major concern. I began modelling this room in the same way as the TV room I started by constructing a stage which I felt would suit the scene and also provide a feature to the room.



Once the room and stage was completed effects needed to be created. I had wanted lighting to provided a lot of the “concert” feel to the room so started modelling a laser light which would animated and generally created a fairly fun effect.

The laser light is fully adjustable it can spin 360 degrees and pivot the same. I created it this way to be as realistic as possible.



The laser effects were created using the Volume light tools under the environment tab it was only a matter of fine tuning the options available to provide the look I was hoping for, this effect was used twice for the red and green laser effects.



Apart from the lighting speakers were added and a drum set piano and guitar. There is also a poster of the YMCA logo on the back wall which provides tie in to the animation.
