| Jake's Character in MineCraft Animation |
Right now there is one of a project that is currently under progress. The story is based on Minecraft. Yes, Minecraft said we can use their work as long it's ok if we're not selling for it. Logan was in charge of the story and Sam was in charge of (...). Jake is also in charge of animation. This character here represents me. The original layout looks like this and transform that into 3d object in Autodesk Maya. Logan was in charge of the worlds and import it to Autodesk Maya. The basic world that Logan created looks like this. This animation will officially start next year and this project is estimated to be around 4-10 minutes. This project won't be short and sweet. There will be blood and sweat on this project. Don't forget the river of tears. (Forget those last 2 sentences.) Hopefully this project can be completed good enough to enter it for Emagine.
>>>SPOILERS<<< The story is about 3 guys who are playing in a minecraft server and basically do basic things that are required in Minecraft. They went on adventures and building a castle to live in. Until one day they went on an adventure and encountered a dragon and decided to slay it. They discovered a dragon's egg and they were not expecting that and agreed to take the egg back to the castle. They took care of the egg until it hatches. The egg finally hatched and the trio raised them. Jake was the cook. Logan was the teacher. Sam teaches the dragon how to fight. The name of the dragon remains unknown. The dragon has a problem not to hold his fire breath and keeps burning stuff. Logan trained him to contain his fire and try not to keep burning stuff. One night, the dragon was kidnapped by enderman and brought it to wither and crown it the king and the trio woke up and knew they have to get it back. Meanwhile the dragon fought to death and eventually died and the trio arrived and it was too late and Logan knew there is a way to revive him is the star. The trio went on another adventure to get it back and got the star and got back to the dead dragon and tied to revive him while the camera transitions to white and the screen would say "to be continued." That is the story that Logan and I were able to create. This story will impact the length of the animation. This is why we won't able to finish it for the final while we will bring that for our senior year. This is a very long, hard project that we have to do. >>>SPOILERS<<<
This video right here is the TEST RENDER of the animation for the "montage bits" that will be included in this animation. The test render shows that the trio starts their journey of collecting resources while I held the pickax to mine, Logan holding the sword to kill off the enemies, and Sam tripping (Haha). It actually took a long time to only render 30 frames for this. It took me about 3 days to render it all from having 2 hour classes everyday. The reason for this to render so long because of mentalray in Autodesk Maya. mentalray is a different kind of render that able to produce high quality animation that slows down the render time. I know this project will be easy to make but it would take forever to render. Don't worry I hope there is other ways that we can try to render it fast as possible without waiting so long until we become skeletons. (Not actually skeletons.) (Also not skeletons from Minecraft) We currently don't know if we are going to make a whole animation for the whole story or not because our goal is to make either 3 or 5 minutes of animation. We might have to cut the story shorter if we want. We also don't know if we might try to start making more during the summer.
For the conclusion of this last blog of the Junior year is that this project will be carried to senior year. Junior year has been fun and it will always be but now it's in the past and it's time to prove that we belong in the senior year with better story, drawing, and animation because it's time to prove Mr. Netterville that we belong in Animation class strand in e-communication program in Olathe Northwest High in Olathe, Kansas. Okay I might be exaggerating a little bit but it's time to get serious since this will be our last year next year. We will finish strong and we will always finish strong.
Once again here's to the celebration of being finished the Junior Year. Mr. Netterville is the best teacher ever! And I'm signing off. From, Jake Williamson.
