Week Ten

This week was dedicated to finishing scenes which had been started but not fully completed. This included the Rock room and my character. Firstly the characters needed to have the coloured textures changed to greyscale ones for the first scene with the TV. Originally we thought that it would be easy to create the scene in colour and then apply some sort of video filter to give the black and white effect. This was not feasible due to the fact that ymca advert shown on the TV would appear in colour whilst all other items in the room would appear in black and white, Because of this the entire room and characters would have to have black and white textures.

My character with colour and then black and white textures applied.

The final touches that needed to be made to the rock school room were adding a fog effect and snow which I thought would tie in really well with our chosen music. The fog was created using another environmental effect. The fog is static and just provides another feature to the room that would not be possible to recreate without this tool.




The snow was created using the particle effect “Snow”



The snow is a fairly easy to create too but creates a really good effect. To get the snowflakes an image of a snow flake was applied to the particle tool. The snow opacity was created by applying to same picture to that map. This basically said all the black area of the picture is transparent. This created very realistic snowflakes.




The hallway scene was also finished off this week, this would be the splitting point of the animation where each character goes there own separate way.
