Conclusion for 3DPF

10 weeks had passed and it was the submission for Project 2.

Recalling the 1st few lessons when i still do not understand what 3DPF is about. We start doing things such as the MatchMoving. We watch video on the 7 Rules for Match Moving. After watching, we are taught to do a Match Moving on a lion statue with Zombie and Human running around. To me, it was hard at 1st however after doing a few times i somehow understand. One of the thing that i think i had learnt from this is the RZ Camera. On the 1st MatchMoving lesson i asked Mr George "Why i cannot see my lion", and Mr George teach me the difference between Persp and RZ Cam.

After the lion statue, we are asked to do a Competition which i at that time thought i will fail. I do not understand what are we supposed to do as are we mark based on Maya? After Effect? I was also appoint as a Leader and i was scared as i do not understand what are we doing. As time passes, more and more idea seem to come and i was able to lead my Team in doing the Project. When doing the Project, i learnt that in a Team there will be different roles such as Animator, Model-er, After Effect. These were the things that Mr George wants us to understand which is the Production Pipeline. After understanding, we put in lots of effort and hard work does paid off, my Team are shortlisted for the Security Competition !

After Project 1, it was another confusion. As we left 2 weeks and all of us thought that we will not have enough time to be able to complete another Project not even said what are we learning. We are also asked to do a Survey to choose. I chose Character Animation and it was also the choice of many others. Mr George starts to become fierce from this onward as i think he wants all of us to be able to focus and have Responsibility. He also set a Time Grace of 10mins instead of 15mins ! As the lesson passes, i can see that we had learnt much more things from Mr George and the Grace was shortens due to not wanting to miss out things. We had done Spiderman where we learnt about Poses, etc. Next is Big Dog. Last it was the Walk Cycle that are also for our Project 2.

In conclusion, i think that 3DPF is a relatively fun module as Mr George and my classmates are there to help each other. Mr George also make 3DPF to be fun instead of following Powerpoint slides and make the lesson boring. However i think that 10 weeks is relatively short, it should be in Semester mode and not Term mode.
