It is finally here, all those rendering times and creating the final animation for the group. At this moment in time I have merged in the files that I have needed, which is the ship, the flag, the particles, the water and the daylight system.
This was very simple to do and no problems with the materials, which was my biggest worry and sometimes the materials don't always want merge with another file, however all went well and there were no problems.
Furthermore I have been tasked with creating three scenes, first one with three Japanese ships travelling together, another with the American ship firing back at the enemies, and lastly an American ship sinking.
So far I have created the first scene animation with the Japanese ships travelling together, which worked quite well and didn't really have any problems. All I really needed to do for this scene was to move the ships from one spot to another, this wasn't difficult however was time consuming, because of the materials I have in the animation made the computer's performance slow down while in 3D's Max, so when I dragged the ships over to a new spot I had lost them because the computer was trying to catch up with what I was doing.
This is the render of the Travelling Scene I have been tasked with which I am quite proud of and think that the whole animation is going very well.
I have also started creating the cannons scene and this is going very well, however it is getting complicated as I am using a few particle systems to create the cannons firing smoke, but this scene shouldn't be too difficult as it will just be a close up of the cannon's firing at the enemy.
Then finally is the Ship sinking scene which I don't think will be to hard or take me to long, just need to change the position of the ship to make it look like it is sinking. I have also decided to add dramatic effect to the sinking of the ship by making the flag blow in the wind and a close up of the American flag for added dramatic effect.
Lets get on with it...
