buttons for games

these are a few pictures of the buttons me and megan have been working on for the game.

final put together

so i decided just to do this instead of my normal idea of creating particles and using fluid effects with paint to make and underwater video instead i decided to put everything ive learned with paint effects together. <3 and i really like it. klien the video is in the drop box called painteffectsjoce.avi

ocean fluid effects

 

 

this is a tutorial on fluid effects in maya,  it starts with just the ocean plane as shown on the first picture then it keeps increasing into a more moving and wave like ocean then calm and still. in the end is the final result of the waves added, and the foam on top.

flower paint effects shadow

this was a tutorial for making shadows to use for paint effects. the only way paint effects can create a shadow is after you apply a light and here a directional light was used then you convert paint effects to a polygon. klien there is a video in your folder called FlowerShadowJoce its an animation of the flowers moving as grass wood and moving in their own animated default. http://maya-tutorials-4u.blogspot.com/2008/06/creating-shadows-for-maya-paint-effects.html

tree :)

 klein the video is on the drop box and this is how to animate paint effects. u edit the flow animation. i did not know you could do that lol :) and animating a tree in paint effects is not the same as animating anything else in maya

sandplane

this is a sand plane that rock man will be using in the desert level. Klein things they look like teeth o_o

rockplane

this is the rock planes that we might be using for one of the levels on the game so rock man can jump on.

poly man

i was working on the low poly tutorial but i didnt get to finish it this is how much i got to and the legs dont look to good.

personal project animating

recently me and my partner megan have been working hard on our skills usa project. on doing so i did most of the animation. there were a lot of times were the rig acted funny such ass the head created a bump on its chin that we could not get rid off or when sometimes the rig completely disappeared from the duck and we had to re animate the whole thing. in the end everything worked out perfect. and during this time i learned how to make a duck walk properly and to show that it had human and realistic features. such as walking the tail moving its head shaking and it read to jump. and while key framing everything ive learned that key framing is important, because at times you can make something go way to fast or way to slow and it takes a lot of time to fix it in after effects and in tga files it will make it lag and skippy. but overall it came out great. although i was not proud of it in the end time ran out. here are some clips of the duck moving in the end. and a picture

(klein the video is in the drop box named "jocepersonalproject"

collision group tutorial 1

 this is the video i used to help me understand collisions in unity. just followed the same things he did and it worked out very well. i didnt know that collisions were already presetted as a script in unity.  no picture just update information on what i did.

personal tutorial 3

http://cg.tutsplus.com/tutorials/autodesk-maya/animating-grass-and-flowers-using-paint-effects-in-maya/

for this tutorial it was so i could render it out and make a video instead i just did the same with the other tutorial just followed how to use paint effects. this one i learned unlike the other one that you can move paint effects. like if you want it to be leaned one way and that helps you animate it as if the wind was blowing.
