Notes & comments

For my project for i did an animation of moving down a street, seeing a red ball, turning towards the ball, going towards it, kicking the ball, making it hit and move another ball, then looking up in the sky. I got my sky, road, and ground from Friedrich Lohmüller. The way I created my pov reay files were buy doing seperate pov files for each section of motion. So movement down the road is one file, movement towards the ball is other etc. And ofcorse each pov file has an ini file. Overall this project was time consuming, and I had some issues but I managed to figure it out and like what i created.

My biggest issue was that my planes were not created around the axis, therefore, it was pretty difficult to use clock in the pov file and have the objects or camera move the way I wanted. This took the most time for me to figure out. Once I figured that out, it was just a matter of creating the pov files and running the ini files to create the jpg images so I could import them to gimp as layers and then export them as a gif.

Overall, I did enjoy this project some, it just took time and at times was frustrating. I also enjoyed this class as a whole. Computer graphics is something I have never done before so this was a new experience for me and I am glad i learned what i did. I am looking foward to IT180 next semester!
