WIP for Project 3 - Animation

From the previous work which is rendering the building, the task assigned for this project is to produce a 2 minutes animation of the building.


Firstly, lighting are set up as the scenes going to be rendered consist of night and daytime. 


Pathway is set to place in the camera later.


Camera is linked to the pathway set using path constraint. 


As for introduction part, a moving vehicle is added in with four wheels linked to rotate and move forward same speed with the vehicle itself. 


For the key frame , it is used to select preferred time to view selected scene with specific time range( in other terms means the speed of the particular scene being played).

In general , 100 frames produce a 3 second animation.

By checking the 'Auto Key' icon, animation set up is ready to go by dragging the objects, camera, views and others to specific time frame.


'Time Configuration' which can be found at bottom right is used to set the length and speed of animation which is going to be produced.


With the camera setting done, click on camera view to view the scenes before rendering. Safe frame is encouraged as it shows the exact view of the picture frame of the animation
.


Next, click on 'Render setup' to check the time output and video output which in my case, I select active time segment and save the file with AVI format.


Coming to final phase of the rendering procedure, click on 'Render' and it will preview the all the picture frames while rendering is in the process.
*It depends on the file size, output quality setting as well as computer performance for the time consumption in rendering.


Compilation of the clips rendered with effects added is done using Video Pro X software.
