Milestone 1A Video
So this is the animation that I had made for the first milestone, which, as I stated in the previous post, refused to render correctly. Again, I’m not sure why this happened, but the camera actor shot in the corner was what was the final render was supposed to look like. It’s a little hard to see, but basically the camera pans to the door of the house, then enters where the cylinder does a little jump and spin in the centre.

Milestone 1A (Again)
Well, thanks to some weird unknown problem that happened, and to the unhelpfulness of Tumblr support, my original account (under the same name) got deleted and couldn’t be reactivated, so I’m re-writing and summarising the submissions I made for the first assessment.
Technology at its finest...
For the first milestone, I came across a few problems, mostly within the sequencer and rendering stages. I had animation and camera movement incorporated into sequencer in Unreal, but when I went to render the scene, there was no animation playing in the rendered product. I tried several times using a number of methods, such as trying to render each animated object separately, but nothing worked. Also, the cylinder I had animated suddenly became invisible, even when selected (apart from its vertices). Not sure why this happened either, but this kept happening when I added new cylinders to the level.
Before starting this unit, I had very little information of 3D software including Maya and Unreal, only using it for the first time last semester for Real-Time 3D Graphics. The information in Unreal was particularly limited, as I essentially only used Unreal last semester to import assets and to apply textures and materials. As a result, most of this week was spent watching tutorials to expand my knowledge of Unreal and Maya, such as this Lynda course: https://www.lynda.com/Unreal-Engine-tutorials/Unreal-Essential-Training/424941-2.html
To put my effort this week into numbers, I spent approximately 5-6 hours on tutorials, 3 hours into creating the milestone, and about 1 1/2 - 2 hours on reflection.
The above images are render passes of the scene that wouldn’t animate (ambient occlusion, final image and scene depth).
The final scene image is also all that could be seen in the rendered video (so no camera movement, no cylinder and its animation).
Milestone 1A - Camera Experiment
here is an example of my experimentation with the camera to how it worked and how dynamic it could be. i found that it was somewhat harder to use then i initially thought, so i decided that for the final composition that i would juts do a simple pan across the model
Milestone 1A - Render passes:
Final Image - World Normal - Scene Depth - Specular - Lighting Model - Ambient Occlusion
here is one frame from each of the render passes that i render out of unreal. i had absolutely no idea which passes to do so i just made my best efforts to guess which ones to do. for about 2 hrs i experimented with each and every one of these passes in after affects seeing how they could be used and what affect they had on each other, as to see which ones would be best suited for the final composite. i ended up using 4 of the passes in the final composite
Milestone 1A - AO & SD
this is an experiment i did using both the ambient occlusion and scene depth render passes. i found that using these together gave this scene a somewhat creepy aspect, which is quite interesting. i will definitely keep experimenting with the render passes before creating the final composition.

Milestone 1A - Ambient Occlusion
here was an experiment i did with the ambient occlusion render pass. i do not really know i fell about it, maybe ill integrate it into the final work, but i might see how it works with some of the other render passes before i make that decision
Milestone 1A - world normal
here i was experimenting with the world normal render pass. i have decided not to use it in the final composition piece, but i felt that it was actually kind of a cool out come and that i should share it. i do believe, however, that i might end up using sometime in the future because it does create a pretty unique affect and i did in fact enjoy how it turned out.
Milestone 1A - final composite with background
so i decided to have some fun and attempt to add a background in to this composition, and i got to say it was a lot easier then i though it would be, it only took about 5 mins to achieve. however, even though the depth is somewhat off i do believe that it is still well executed. i did experiment with two other background before deciding on this one, a sunset and another city skyline, but i feel that this one better suited the existing composition.
