Note: This is an updated version of the animation. I published this version on 10/4. Click here to view the version that was presented in class on 09/30.
Project Notes
I made the wireframe animation video file using Playblast. I made the shaded animation video file by rendering the frames with Arnold, then putting the frames together in Adobe Premiere Pro.
I made all of the 3D models in this project, but all of the textures were sourced from the internet, which I cite below.
Textures Used
All textures used in this project were sourced from ambientCG. They are Wood 035, Metal 046 B, and Metal 048 B.
