Kent Walker - CGI Architectural Engineer/Keyframe Animator *Kent created a rough draft of the camera movements with the walls and floor in place to check the movements of the main character. (This file is in a zipped format.) I started on this project in early June of 2001 using SoftImage XSI v1.5. My job was to make an Indian hut and animate a first person walk through of the house. The first thing I created was a simple floor and walls:
While I was working on the poles and ties, Aaron and Harlan were working on their respective projects. As I finished up the house, Aaron finished many different props. I started merging the props into the house. Some of the tools weren’t great looking; they looked as if the would fall apart if they were real. I worked on these tools a bit. Then, I worked on the camera movements for the animation. I started off with the camera on the bed and it “stands up” to its full height. This led me to making the camera “walk.” I tried many complex answers to this; but eventually, I realized that the simplest answer is usually the best and went with a simple bobbing camera effect. I then added the “Eye’s opening” and the “Fuzzy Vision” effects at the beginning. |
