week 8- change of idea & development.

Today I want to change my idea as to make a real life model of the 'YUM YUM MACHINE.' I starting to make box for the based of the project and getting all small parts objects together to form a the 'YUM YUM MACHINE.'  Today  I started to painted the box. However, there was a downfall as the box was sinking down. I tried tapes to hold it in place but did not work for the to part of the box.  As putting together my box  it was not that noticeable  I was able to make it work.

Week 7 - Formative Assessment. 

Today I had our formative Assessment with Ernie and gave me useful advice I decide to a pop out design of the whole machine was it would be easier to do and time consuming. I also sent an email to Chelsea about my blog as it was not working. I realise that I need to sign to little inventions website and waiting confirmation from the website. Whilst waiting for confirmation I start updating my blog. Due to formative I decide to make a model of the invention instead of doing roto scope as it takes too much time.

Week 5- Design & Development stage.  
Today I was confused on what I am going to do also collaborate with production design student to help with a I had a meeting with Chelsea about my idea for the invention she gave some important information on for animation which is must show the vegetable and sweets combining. 
 
Today I also starting rotoscoping my animation of cucumber and started to animate and colour. I also started to do 4D cinema of the model of the design which I collaborate with Tobi an editing student if the animation does not work. 

Week 6- LOGO & 3D Model 

Today starting to work on my blog on word and continued with my rotoscoping animation. And staring getting ready for formative with Ernie next week Monday. With editing my Logo for the ‘Yum Yum Machine.’

Today I starting making a 3d prototype of the model of the protype. ‘YUM YUM MACHINE.’ First off all I started off with making the main body by adding a cube and curving the edges.  I then added the tube for the sweets to pass through, I then added a bend deformer to the tube so that It was not straight.  I also Duplicated the tube for the sweets and made two more for the ingredients to be added to the machine. I made the colours by making a material that matched the picture of the drawing. How I got it to look more random than in order was by adding a gradient to the material as well as adding a turbulence effect. 

For the solid colour I just changed the colour from whit to blue in the colour section of the materials settings. A similar process was done to make the other colours that I had used for the model.
