Comapanies

One thing that I,v missed out on the blogs was a buisness post , during my research I came to realise that companys would be interested in going up for the raw materials , up out of the atmosphere , there's an iron ore which is found on metorites which is apparently 1000 times as pure as the iron found on Earth, Photons also float around space , this is a knew form of energy that could be trapped and utilised much like solar power. Considering these things I eventualy decided to aim my pproject at buisness men (and women). This is why the second poster talks about a space commerce center and its also why the posters have a corperate kind of style , not totaly formal but quite (as I want to attract the tourists too!)

Research Finding Nemo

As I want to do a fish animation , I thought I'd take a look at the obvious choice "Finding Nemo", I know that I wont be able to create an animation as technical as this so mine will be quite simplified down in comparison. There is things I can take from this piece though, like the way they glide through the water and the way there bodies are maid to illustrate whate they are talking about, i also like the humour that Fish can conjur up, for its easy to feel sorry for a Fish and just as as easy to laugh at one, as you can see.

I'v decided to my final Maya animation on two goldfish, (its a story I devised in my sketckbook). So I put this video up here for quick referance on how they move and react with each other. I noticed that sometimes they move closer to another fish then jerk away. Things like this should improve the movement in my work , if I study them accurately. Id like to make my fishes fins move like they do here too.

My Xwing animation

Here's a pic of the "x-wing fighter" craft I modled. I did this using a tutorial. Mainl I created this by creating a Nurb primitive cube and extruding faces off it. I then painted things with paint tool . I then maid a path for the shuttle to go around the meteorite and put in a key frame where it would begin and end. This was how I learnt some basics of modelling and animation.
