Dynamics Projects
Just going through a few new dynamics books for Maya currently to learn more MEL scripting and Expressions. My first test is a of a plinian eruption. While the speed isn't correct here I'm quite happy with the result currently.
The animation itself runs too fast, simply as it was just a test to see if the plume went up in the air. Render time roughly 2 hours for 60 frames. the sequence was originally meant for PAL but I rendered the final animation at 15fps just so it was a little slower/more like how the full animation should be.
Instruments and uploads
Just a couple of photos I took tonight of the new instruments the Mrs bought me!
Above: A Suling - an Indonesian bamboo flute.
Below: A Mbiri or Kalimba - Thumb piano
I have also uploaded my test shots for my final year project (which was during the 2007/2008 term) to youtube. While they are already up on here I can't seem to share them so here they are for all to see!
