Formative Assessment‏

1. Tell us what you are doing. What is your idea? What is the thing you are learning?

In the past I have only created single 3D objects with simple flat backgrounds/environments only using Maya.

With Cinema 4D I want to learn how to create a more complex environment by modelling multiple background objects to create a sense of depth and space.

2. Show examples of your own work so far and work form others to explain your topic – movies, animations, renders, sculpts, models, film scenes, websites, interfaces, interactive things .. whatever you need.

3. Give us a clear description if how you intend to showcase your learning at the end of this paper. What will you build? How will it relate to your major project?

I want to have a flyover of an environment with subtle animated objects in the background to help create interest and movement.

I plan to roughly base my environments from my recent trip to Oahu with 3 main activities I experienced from the island;
1. paddle boarding (beach)

2. cliff jumping (forest/waterfall)

3. swimming with turtles (underwater)

The technique I learn from this project will be helpful for my major project because I'm planning on doing a animated story using Cinema 4D.

4. A timeline documenting what you are planning on doing for the remainder of the project?

research 3d model styles

design a environment to 3d model

watch Lynda, digital tutor and youtube tutorials

start 3d modeling

place models in a environment

research way to bring the environment to life (animation)

add characters

add animation

idea

i plan to roughly base my environment from my recent trip to Hawaii, nature, beach/forest etc.

want to have 3 main focus on the island with a fly over, place to place

paddle boarding on main beach (from sea looking into beach , hotels in back)
cliff jumping in the forest (waterfall)
swimming with turtle in secret cove (underwater snorkelling)

other objects on background
hotel
shops
food truck
car
tour bus

some reference images

brief

Aim:

learn how to 3d model buildings and nature to create a environment

Methods and processes:

research 3d model styles

design a environment to 3d model

watch Lynda, digital tutor and youtube tutorials

start 3d modeling

place models in a environment

research way to bring the environment to life (animation)

add characters

add animation

Intended outcome:

a flyover of the environment with minimal animation in the background, with 3 main scene

Applied to a design context:

this research will be useful
