GRDSN 238, 3D Animation I
Project: Small Animation for the Web
Scenario:
Ecotimes wants an animated object to use as a logo/identifier on their web site - a plant, insect, animal. The colors can be anything natural and it needs to animate within 2 seconds. The word "Ecotimes" should not be added at this time. For those in the Web Design Program, the client would like to see the animation on a web page with a white background.Primary tasks:
- Research ecological/environmental logos and try to find some that are animated, reporting what you have found back to class.
- Create the logo with the software using the tools already known.
- Add lighting and check the viewpoint.
- Animate the object for use on the Web.
- Render the object using the size and file type required for use on the Web (Flash animation)
- Test your animation on the web window.
Objectives:
- Research the web to come up with a logo that could be effectively animated on a home page
- Use the software to model an object accurately and with creative thought about animation
- Choose a viewpoint to render the object that is aesthetically pleasing and correct
- Render the animation of the object with the correct size and file type for a Flash animation
- Create a Flash animation
- Submit animation on the web
