Personal Blog Post

The scope of this project was to make the fire being in the pit seem real. My process for making this was to first outline the fire pit so I could put the fire in it, then to add a light on to the surroundings and to the fire itself, then I added the sound of the fire. I learned more about special effects while I was making this. Professionally I learned how to make it look nice and well done. Next time I would add a different sound that actually makes it sound like a fire. I would keep all the rest about the same like the realism of it. The special effects is what will enhance my next project. Thank you for watching.

This was fun to make, I really like this new website and how it is built.

My Resposive Design

Responsive Design is designing a website so it fits with the required device that is being viewed on. For example the same website should not look and have the same style between a phone and a PC. they are two completely different sized devices so they should have a different design for each one of there screens.
This is my site with the Responsive Design on it on PC:

Responsive Web Design

Responsive Web design is the approach that suggests that design and development should respond to the user's behavior and environment based on screen size, platform and orientation. The practice consists of a mix of flexible grids and layouts, images and an intelligent use of CSS media queries. It is important because more and more people use mobile than desktop nowadays. A breakpoint is a place in a computer program where the sequence of instructions is interrupted, especially by another program or by the operator.

nice design

good text for the background

very interactive

The Flash

The Flash is a new function for computers brought in the 1990s, when the internet was at it worst.The Flash brought web-based video, animation, and interactivity into ubiquity; it allowed designers and developers alike to make a new kind of rich context that would work on any computer or browser. Flash Player plug-in guaranteed the content would look and behave the same way for anyone who loaded it, regardless of computer or browser.

 Apple decided not to support Flash in the iPhone build in 2007, Steve Jobs said that he used HTML5 instead of the Flash because HTML5 has all standards pertaining to the web should be open.

In spit of this, Flash is better still because it has advanced video serving features like DRM and full-screen support, it also provides the best platform for YouTube's video distribution requirements.

 In 2011, Adobe released a new product called Edge Animate, it was a new way to create HTML5 content for mobile devices. But by 2015 Adobe discontinued Edge Animate, on the other hand Adobe renamed the Flash Professional app to Animate CC. Animate CC would be Adobe's "premier web animation tool for developing HTML5 content while continuing to support the creation of Flash content."

 

 Facebook wanted to make games for there mobile apps but did not want to use Flash, they tried with HTML5 and Javascript but they stopped the project, then recently launched Instant Games,"a new HTML5 cross-platform gaming experience, on Messenger and Facebook News Feed for both mobile and web." Then Google blocked Flash by its default on Chrome.

All the websites that use Flash are still good and Flash is still up and good even though two major sites rejected it. Firefox uses Adobe Flash and it looks good.

Habitat

My final assignment was on the Komodo Dragon and facts about them. The process I went through for this was to first look up facts on the Komodo Dragon then add them inane add in pictures that match with the facts. Next, I had to add in what the Komodo Dragon scales look like into the background. Finally, I had to add in the surrounding design to make it look good. For me I learned how to polish a website up to make it look better, also how to add more sidebar links. I would have done the sidebar differently to make it look better since there is nothing below the links so it doesn't look good. I would have also spaced out more so it looks nicer.What I would keep the same is to keep everything somewhat similar to the background. The experiences that came from this that I will use later in future projects is to keep it looking like the background and to make it look somewhat similar to this project. This project took me awhile and I could have made it look better, but this is what I did and I can't do more. Thank you for listening and check out my website

5 of my best works

Castle

From this project I learned a multiple of things such as cutting out parts of shapes and how to grab faces and put them up or down. I learned this from Mr. Netterville, my animation teacher, teaching us and going through the process. I picked this project because it took me a long time to do and it was one of my first maya animations. On this project my strength is the towers on the castle, my weaknesses are on the height of the part top of the towers and the floating pyramid in the center. What I will do with what I have learned will be used on other projects I do. What I would change in this project is changing the multiple of the same looking houses. This was a fun but big project since it was my first.

Hammer Time

 I learned to grab the the vertexes and make it look like a hammer. How I learned to make a hammer in maya is using my teacher Mr. Netterville for help. I picked this project because it actually looks ok to use, I am actually pretty proud of this project. My greatest strength for this project for is probably the hammer head because it looks pretty good for a hammer head of course, and my greatest weakness for this project is that I could have added more in the background but I didn't. The one thing I would change is again the background because I could have added more. It was fun to make and it looks good to.

Ice Cream Shop 

I learned how to put everything on a circle and make it spin into a video. I learned how to do it from the help of my teacher who I have already talked about and my other classmates. I picked this project because this is one of the big ones I did that took a while to make and there were multiple parts to it. My greatest strength for this project was how I could make what I wanted metallic and make everything spin in the way I wanted, my biggest weakness for this was on the spoon how the handle goes through the cup spoon part. The one thing I would change is how you can see the handle. It was hard and I ran into some problems but in the end I got it done.

Salt Shaker and Wine Glass

I learned how to poke hole in the top of the salt shaker and how to use loft and revolve. I learned to do this because my teacher taught use how and if I ran into a problem my classmates would help me. I picked this project because in this project we learned a whole other way to make things such as loft and revolve. My greatest strength is being able to make these and them looking good, and to be honest I don't think I had any weaknesses on this project. The one thing that I would have changed in this project is when making the holes in the salt shaker I had ran into a problem that was so dumb.

Pen 

I learned a lot on this final project one being which is how to make a spring and how to align multiple parts. I learned to make this again form my teacher. I picked this project first it being my final and second because it was the one that everyone made it based on what there pen looks like. My greatest strength on this project is making the clip of the pen because for me I like it, but my greatest weakness is that I didn't put it in any position such as it leaning or anything. The one thing I would have changed is that I would have put on a background. My final is over and I had a fun 2016 but I am so ready for 2017.

This is a great tutorial to learn how to animate using the application Adobe Animate CC on the mac. If you want to learn how to I do recommend it, check it out if you want.

Animation Article critic

Animation Article

This website has an old and poor design but has lots of nifty information to use to find the right animation school and more. I recommend looking at it and read it to find out what you can learn.

Animation critic

The Ocean maker The bast short animation I have ever seen. If I were to rate it I would rate it 10/10. It has all of the points of a good animation. The multi-plane animation is amazing. The quality of the graphics are so good. It has drama, action, and strategy. It was so good. I loved this animation.

Ice cream Animation

Ice Cream Animation

The Maya animation application is the application which I used to make this "Ice cream shop". I had to use many tools to make this project. I leaned a lot from using maya while creating this project. It was a hard and long process but I think I did alright with being new with using this application. I had a few mistakes while making this but that just helps me for the next time. I hope you enjoyed watching this and have a nice day.
