careers in animation

 In creating the movie cars there was a lot of hard work and different jobs were needed to start the movie.

One of the jobs was:
  • camera angle
  • producer
  • animater
  • artist
  • Shading and lighting
  • go look for product
  • film makers
  • comp. animater
  • voice actor
  • Person with script
  • director 
I would like to become a criminal lawyer so animation isn't really related to my career but I guess it can relate to the clues or evidence for example if there was a video recorded I would need someone with the education to visualize the video for clues and such. 

something I learned

Some of the things I learned in making my tutorial, was how the shading column worked. I now know how to change an objects colors, make them look transparent, and put different patterns on the object such as checkered squares and such.

One thing that I had a difficulty on was trying to change it into the pattern. I kept reading it and reading it. And starting all over but I finally found out was I was doing wrong I had to turn off the wireframe.

Challenges I will encounter

  •  I know I will have a hard time creating the ear because the instructions given don't really give you a good understanding on how to create it. 
  • I don't know what a polygon profile is.
  • I don't know what the anithelx of the ear is.
  • I don't know what the inner helix is
  • How do I create a large polygon on the back of the ear?
  • How do you add more definition.
  • How do you tweak something?

My tutorial

I am going to make an ear because creating a human ear should be easy and is interesting. The human ear will be a challenge and there will be times when I will get frustrated but I cant wait to start it.

2 new tools I used

The first tool that I used was append to polygon tool which was used to build a shade like the rest of the helmet but to the mask the eyes part.

The second tool that I used was split polygon tool and it split the mask and it added two lines and lined them up horizontally and vertical.
