Winter 2018

Welcome back! 

How excited am I to start the new term?

Is it weird that this cat is named mouse? Perhaps he is excited by irony?

Yup, Pretty excited. 

There are a few items of review that apply to every class I teach, so we'll cover those things first.

Does anyone remember this: Syncsketch

test 1 (success!)

Sketchfab

I'd like to try an use it again for the  feedback process in all of my classes, assuming we can work it out. Let's test it today! We'll try handing off a link and handing off a video file and see which pipeline is the smoothest.

A quick refresher on 'Animation Preview' in 3dsMax

Autodesk documentation
Useful YouTube tutorial

Typical Output options for 'Preview Animation'

I'm a creature of habit, so I'll usually want your work handed in the following way:

This is what I look like when your submission is correct.

• XVID Mpeg4 compressed AVI
• 960 x 540 resolution (HD540)
• naming: Last_First_(code).avi

eg.

      Latour_David_BLJ.avi

This will be the standard for most submissions in my classes. WARNING: Please pay close attention to where you hand in your homework. Some of your classmates can attest that this can cause huge issues at the end of the term. Make sure you put homework in the correct folder.
