Nurbs Model


For the Nurbs Model Exercise, I made a futuristic looking blimp out of primitive shapes such as spheres, cubes and planes. I hoped to make the flag more realistic looking by learning to curve it so it looks like it is blowing in the breeze. Right now, it looks a bit too rigid to be realistic. 

Bouncing Ball Part 2


I was successful in adding texture to the ball according to the second part of the tutorial. I was able to add the fire with little difficulty but I did have issues finding the command for this action. The finish animation was very fulfilling to watch even though it was only a few seconds long.  The lighting was not as great as I would have wanted it to be however and if I could I would like to go back and work on that at a later date or perhaps improve it for a future project.

Bouncing Ball Part 1


In the first part of the tutorial, I was successful in getting the ball to animate and move it across the plane. I had difficulty with adding the bend node however and could not figure out how to make it work properly.
