MDDN 343, Project 3, cinematics

I have managed to fix the walk animation for Uddu and it was just to move the leg back more while walking. Now it looks a lot better and also gives him more of a sway when he walks which looks a lot better in game.

Now what I have been working on lately is 2 small cinematics which we are going to be playing in our game. The first is a video which will play at the beginning of our game whenever the player starts a new game. And the other is a quick one which plays between levels.

We just wanted to sort of have a video which kind of sets the scene as well as something a little humorous to add into our game.

The opening video is just Uddu waking up in the prison cell and then he tests his powers. Because Uddu doesn't talk it was quite hard to show the story.

This is the scene which I set up to animate the video. All up there was about 1100 frames which I had to render for this video.

UNFORTUNATELY the night which I was working on this video. Just as I was about to click Render somehow I blew a fuse in my house and half of the video was lost. The fuse blew just as i plugged my laptop into the socket. It was really frustrating and took me about a couple hours to catch up to how it is now. Again unfortunately the video isn't the same as it was originally and it doesn't really state why hes in jail but I ran out of time to redo the video to how it exactly how I wanted it.

This is how it turned out and even though its not exactly how I want it but I still like how it looked.

The second video is Uddu in the elevator which is what he enters to finish the level. I wanted this video to be a little scene but for it to be funny. All that I have done in this video is used the elevator model which I was given to by Katie and animate the frame of the elevator and have Uddu with his idle animation. And to add the humour factor I want to have some really cheesy elevator music. This video was a lot easier to do and this one came out how I wanted it to.
