 This week I worked on sculpting my god statue that will fall and destroy my temple to refresh myself on the basics and get started I watched some of this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IG1IEpU5VAw&t=395s My first step was making a basic sculpt of the face and head which did not take long and I experimented with many of the sculpting tools available to me. I eventually got something that I liked and could refine later Next I made a very basic body for the head once again keeping it simple so I could refine it later. I then sculpted and added four arms to the statue and further refined his head and body to a point that I liked how they looked. Nothing is Bollien Modified together yet I will have to do that next week Next I created a hand which I have yet to refine or attach to my sculpture, hopefully in due time it will look very good  to make this hand I followed a tutorial  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUaEE-OqMvY Work log: Monday:Head and body sculpti...

 This Blog Post is about how I experimented with and created fire with Manta flow and how it took me way longer than it should have. https://youtu.be/vSYMjhFXcr8 This was the first tutorial that I used It worked well for the first couple of minutes but for some reason I could not find my Bake data button. I looked it up and it was because it was Cache type replay and not type Modular. But for some reason even after I though I had followed everything correctly my animation just disappeared I could still see the domain moving with adaptive domain checked but  no actual fire simulation I decided it was because the tutorial was in a different version and moved on to a more recent one. https://youtu.be/mlCwT5dgEXM his tutorial I followed for a while It is for making a flame thrower but he claims that the same methods could be used for anything  with fire. In the end I could not get it to look exactly like I wanted it to for a torch even though I thought I was pretty close I do...

 This blog post is going to be about my several inspirations for the animated short film that I am creating. However one of the inspirations will be a broad inspiration for myself taking the class this year and a general inspiration for me and I will also be talking about some inspirations specifically for the animation.  John Lasseter John Lasseter started his path to being one of the most revolutionary animators when he went to the California arts institute where he studied where he studied under some old Disney artists who knew everything there was to know about the principals of animation and were some of the first animation teachers ever. after that Lasseter achieved his dream job of working at Disney as an animator but his ambition and need to evolve led him to a point where he experimented with creating the first digitally animated short film for Disney.  The officials at Disney did not like this idea however and feared that the age of 2d animation was passed enda...
