Titos Pokeball

First you go nurbs primitives and make a sphere with end sweep 180, then duplicate it. you now have to half spheres. rotate X 90 and -90. Make a nurbs torus and place it between the half sphere. Make two small cylinders and place them along the torus.

Instructions for mug.

Cup
First you create a polygon pipe with a radius of 1, height of 2, thickness 0.15, subdivision axis 20, subdivision height 1.. it wont ask for all of those. Translate Y= 2.17, Translate Z=0.368, Scale X=1.727, Scale Y=4.73 Scale Z 1.756. Then you just change the color red.
Handle
Make a nurbs torus with radius 8.5, start sweep 0, end sweep 180, degree=cubic, sections 24, spans 4, Height 0.059, minor sweep 360. Translate Y = 2.301, Translate Z= 2.01, Rotate Z 88.539, Scale Y1, Scale Z= 0.204
Bottom of cup
make a polygon cylinder with a radius 0.5, Height 6, subdivision Axis 12, Translate X 0.003, Translate Y 0.048, Translate Z 0.342, Scale X 3.368, Scale Y 0.084, Scale Z 3.175

From This experience I have learned many things. The people in my workspace are very distracting I have learned to cope and to stimulate their nonsense. I use it for the better. This is the very first thing i have ever created in maya. It was very productive and although it is just a mug it cost me lots of work time and was well worth it. I painted my mug red because i rarely see any red mugs. The point of this project was to understand the basics and fundamentals of maya. Now that i know that I am able to move fluently among the task bars and many strange buttons.

What I did in class today was alter the inside of the cup so it was more realistic.

The object I am creating is a mug. This is a simple mug and i got the idea from Mrs. Goeldner's penguin mug. The elements I will incorporate are cylinder, and a Torus.

Attribute Editor Notes

The attribute editor provides information about the various nodes attributes for the objects and materials in your scene. Like the channel Box, You can view and edit the basic transform information and many other keyable attributes. However, the attribute editor provides a more detailed display of all attributes for a selected object.

To view object attributes using the attribute editor
In the scene view select the object. To view the attribute editor click the show/ hide icon on the status line. Click the selected object

template work

Template Display

1. When do you use template display?

When your scene becomes complex

2. What does templating the display allow you to do?

Allows you to more easily select only the objects you want

3. How does the object change when you template the display?

Its wireframe changes to a gray color

4. How does the template display help you?

This helps to prevent you from selecting of modifying it accidentally

5. How do you change the display of objects to template mode?
You can change the display of objects to a template and use them as a modeling reference

6. How do you untemplate a templated object?

Undo

7. How did you work with template display in the last lesson?

we changed the template

Components

1. What is a component?

Geometric shapes have smaller parts called components

2. Give three examples of a component.

Control vertices, faces and hulls

3. What does a component allow you to do in Maya?
allow you to work with objects at a finer level and allow you to edit them in creative ways

4. What are the step to select a component of an object?
You must set the selection mode to component mode

5. How did you work with components in the last lesson?

We moved the vertices of entablature vertically

What I learned.

When I came to class, I did not know what we were doing. But as class progressed I simply became aware of the tasks our animation class must complete. We received a stack of papers stapled together. The point of these papers were to finish the instructions written on it. I did a few of the instructions and i learned about more shapes.

To move the half sphere you can use the tool on the side and use the rotate tool to move it to the pedestal.

How do you make things move?
How do you make your own objects on the plane?
When will we do a full animation?

pizzakid

So today pizzakid (Aideli) came back from her other school. But she brought along an ipod.

Auto desk maya

1. How to change the angle view of the plane at the top the plane window with the cube
2. How to put polygons from the polygon tab just draw with the mouse
3. How to turn on a movie showing the basics of autodesk in the general tab
4. How to draw lines and circles which are in the curves tab at the top of the window
5. How to scale objects with the scale tool on the left side of the window

My New Years Resolution is to do better in my school work. To do this i have to do all my work and listen to all my teachers. I also have to not let other students not let me do my work.

My SMART Goal is to work harder in school. I want to do this because I have learned education is a major part in every ones life. I used to not appreciate school but now I do after a series of events that have occurred. I plan to do this this semester and my senior year. I'm going to listen to the teacher and do the things I need to achieve this.

1. Making the actual animations
Solution- DON'T PROCRASTINATE!!
2.Finding/making characters
Solution- Google, DON'T PROCRASTINATE!!! Alternate solution: create characters
3.Bone structure
DON'T PROCRASTINATE!!! add bone structure


Planning is on Grecia's Blog.

animations

If I could I'd make an animation to help kids learn

Three things i learned and will do

Three things I learned today is how to convert graphics to symbols because I didn't know how to do that before all this started. I also learned how to use ease. The last thing I learned is how to get it on the internet, by using the publish preview.
Three things I will do to my character are put him on the internet. I will make his body move with relative ease too. The last thing I will do is turn him to a movie clip symbol.

What i learned from bone structuring

This is a new feature I am learning so it is a little confusing. I am planning to learn more about this because it seems pretty interesting. What I learned is how to add the "skeleton." I also learned to keyframe it so it kinda looks like a motion tween.

sound to pikachu

If i were to add sound to my pikachu flash, I would add it to the beginning where i added the play button. I would add the sounds randomly because pikachu "pika's" at random intervals of time. The way I would do this is download a pika noise and save it to my itunes. I would make a new layer for the noise. I would then import the sound to my library and put a keyframe randomly in the timeline and enter an instance of the pika there.

Mask Effect

First you need something on your masked layer. Then you need to make a second layer and that's going to be your mask layer. then you make an object on your mask layer and right click on the layers and click mask. they will disappear and you have to unlock and click on your object. Once its selected click insert and motion tween. Click on frame 39 once it has its motion tween and drag it over to the other side of your text in the masked layer. It will work now.

racecar aspects

In the flash car race I had alot of trouble with the actions window. I did not capture how to do every little thing we did. I understood the basics but if it came down to getting all into I would only be able to do simple things. We created buttons and yup that was pretty cool and easy, I understood that pretty good. The thing that still confuses me in some way is when you double click on a symbol and it takes you to another scene-like thing and you can edit that symbol from there. Yeah that kinda confuses me, pretty bad.
