Motion Design Test & submission

Follow this link for the test. I will activate it just before 20:00 today.

You'll need to have a Facebook account to access the test, so please create one or write the test on Monday.

The re-write will take place on Monday, during the day, and will be a different off-line/printed version.

For those of you that still need to submit their work: Create your own Vimeo account, upload your video (under 10MB - see Compression Tutorial), make sure that its available for public viewing and add me as a contact. You can send me a message too, once its up and working.

3D Form Studies 1 results are out.

The brief for module 2 is on the X drive. Degree and diploma students get the same one.

All 3D Form Studies 1 students can see their marks posted outside the BootCamp. Well done to those who got distinctions.

These models are made with primitives only (and modifiers) in Max. Here's the pick of the litter.

Game Design Project

Download the Asset list here.

We are collaborating with TUKS's programming/development team, where we will be in charge for creating all the graphic content for the game.  The project will run for the remainder of the year and will entail everything from interface design, level design, props, character setup and animation... and everything in between.

3D Major Animation Pitch

Hehehehe... now you know what to get me for Christmas.

Please download your brief here.

Presentation date to be confirmed.

The History of Special Effects

Dear Motion Design 2 students,

if you can't afford to spend $50 or a day studying in the school library, I selflessly sacrificed my morals and bootlegged Chapter 1.  Download it here.

It's a brief look at the History of Special Effects and an absolute must read if your interested in SFX (and you're also being tested on it).

The test will be online for you to complete on Thursday 20:00 - 21:00, and the re-write on Monday, during the day (off-line).

Enjoy!

Vimeo account

Sadly, the Vimeo account has been maliciously deleted. 
For those of you that have not received your feedback please accept my sincerest apologies. The account was setup in order to assist with remote feedback during the holiday time... I'm disappointed, as I'm sure some of you are.

I encourage everyone to create your own Vimeo account! Not only is it a useful communication tool, but also a good portal for an online portfolio. Feel free to add me as a contact if you wish to receive any feedback or assistance.

The Open Window AV account will be re-opened, but only to serve as a showcase for some of the module's best works. Thank you for your cooperation. I'm awaiting feedback from Vimeo regards to the circumstances of the deleted account and will keep you informed.
