Snowflake Personal Bog Post


In animation, we recently created a snowflake project. In this project, we had to create multiple snowflakes and then animate them falling outside of a window. This project was not very easy for me actually. There was a lot of work to be put into it and honestly I'm really not the best at animation. But to start this project, we had to create 6 different snowflakes using some kind of cutting tool. This was actually one of the easiest and most fun parts of this. So after we made our 2d snowflakes, we had to make them 3d which was also pretty easy. Then we created a window and made it transparent, just like a window. Then, we had to set up our 3 point lighting so it complimented everything just right. next, came the hardest part, which was animating them so that they actually fell and looked realistic. We had to duplicate them so that there were 18 or so and then use key frames to make them fall and keep them repeating. Although it doesn't sound like a lot, there was still a lot more work put into everything and it took a while to make. Overall I'm happy with how it turned out, although there are defiantly things i would change to make it better, but at least i know for next time.
