Bouncing ball assignment progression

Actually I didn't do much for the assignment after last week lesson, so I really don't know what to show here. I showed my bouncing ball assignment to my 3D lecturer. Due to the bouncing ball animation was less than 30 seconds, so my 3D lecturer asked me to add something after finish modelling the storyboard's part. I have no idea to add what after it, so I tried to adjust the timing of the bouncing ball. Today, I have learned some techniques in the 3D lesson class which is lathe, loft, spline, text, shell and proboolean. Last week I had accessed the 3Ds Max software through my old laptop, so the problem for me to do my assignment was temporarily solved. But still the new laptop could not access any downloaded software, so my mother suggested me not to bring the new laptop to hostel and she will help me to find the technician to solve it.

Start modelling bouncing ball

Due to my new laptop cannot access the 3Ds Max software, so I can only do my assignment when I was in school. I almost done all of the assignment, but sadly I found that my assignment will not be 30 seconds that long if i really followed the storyboard that I had drawn. I tried to prolong the sequence of the bouncing ball, but it's still enough to fill up the time. I haven't try to adjust the bouncing ball assignment according to the 12 principles of animation, maybe it will be okay after adjusting the timing. This week I already gave up on my new laptop, I didn't do anything to it except playing a facebook game named tetris. I planned to bring my new laptop home and hope that my family could help me to fix the problems.

Assignment 1 start!

The first assignment of our 3D Animation class I is to create a bouncing ball story. image 1:First draft for bouncing ball assignment My first idea was to let the ball bounce like as it is in the Super Mario game. It goes higher and higher by bouncing on the box. Later I changed the idea to circus, so when the ball comes to the the fourth box, it goes through a ring and slide through a slide. This two ideas i did not show to lecturer as there is no story in this two ideas. So I started to think for the third idea. image 2: second draft for bouncing ball assignment This is my third idea which is about how the ball escape out from the frame. At first it jump into the frame from nowhere and meet a spinner. It bounce and hit the spinner and when the spinner stop at 45 degree, the ball will bounce again to attach to the stick on top. Although the ball has attached to the stick, but due to the over swing, it detach from the stick and back to spinner part. The second time, the b...

The first day of attending 3D animation class

("3D Modeling Software | Free Resources & Apps | Autodesk", 2017) Today is the first time I attended a 3D class,  before that I only have some general ideas about it. In order to let our 3D lecturer to know our name, we had some sort of ice breaking session by introducing our name to each other in the class. Our class is a mixture of Digital Animation students and Game Design students. Some of the Game Design students I have known them in foundation time. After introducing ourselves, our 3D lecturer had asked one of us to open a whatsapp group but no one volunteered to do it. Then one of my friend was selected by the lecturer and I think he had became the class representative from then on. Later the lecturer began to tell us about what we should and shouldn't be. After our 3D 1 subject teacher briefed how would us be doing our assignments, I think this will take a long duration of time to done an assignment. For the purpose of structure 3D buildings, ph...
