MEL script 0.5 - Marks

For my graveyard project I got 80.5% which pleasantly surprised me, it was way more than my animation (67) and about the same as my matchmoving (79). Apparently I could have improved it by adding animation to the bats' wings, which I probably would have if I had more time, should have started a lot sooner on it. Hopefully I learned not to leave stuff to last week or so this semester.

Technical Animation 0.1 - Rigid Body

So after two weeks of university I got around to post stuff here. As my optional I have chose Technical Animation, which I thought will be scripting but it turned out to be all about dynamics, which is awesome. We started with rigid body basics and how it works, first lab tasks were to make domino effect and then collapse of a building like geometry. I enjoy doing this, look forward to do more.

Domino - no real problems with that. I used a curve and then a script to duplicate the domino geometry along the curve. It always made a lot more than I needed so I had to delete at least half the pieces so they would be spaced like that and then so I can run the simulation more or less smoothly.

Collapse - No problems making it, only found out that at the start it goes slow, I think its because the geometry doesn't just stand still when stacked on top of each another like that. I will need to look into it more, when the ball crashed into it all goes smooth again. I like that it is different each time, sometime the second building collapses quickly, sometime not at all.
