CIU/ANM - Week 8 or 9

For this week I have been fairly busy. Now that the efficient animation is finally over, I was able to pour more time into my environment for ANM230 as well as develop my skills for the future CIU project. I have included below the materials I have viewed over the past week as well as some samples of what I've done.

Making a light in four easy steps with 3DS MAX

STEP 1:

Create a base for your light using splines. I started off with creating a rectangle base. I then created an egg spline as a separate object and resized the top of it.

STEP 2:

Attach each spline together including the egg together. Add a surface modifier as well as the turbo smooth and BOOM, you have the base of your light.

STEP 3:

Next you need to create the bars that stop idiots from touching the light. Using a spline, create a curved line and also a circle. Once done, using the loft tool attach the line to the circle so that it creates a bar.

STEP 4

Duplicate the bar to your fancy whilst resizing it to fit your created light.

These next clips are the previews for the animation project. I have gone back and changed them since these previews were rendered.
