2 Story for the animation

1st Story:

There was a kitty box shaped robot named Lily who lived in a plain and unexciting world where everyone in there are connected to a wire on a long pole. She had always felt like something was missing in her life, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was.

One day, while on a walk, she stumbled upon a drawing tablet lying on the ground. Curious, she picked it up and brought it home to investigate. After tinkering with it for a bit, she realized that she could use it to draw anything she wanted and watch as her creations came to life.

Lily had never been much of an artist, but with the draw tablet, she felt like she could explore her creativity in ways she never thought possible. She started experimenting with different art styles, from realism to cartoonish drawings, and even fantasy landscapes that she could only imagine in her wildest dreams.

One day, while drawing a beautiful and vibrant forest, she suddenly found herself transported into the world she had created on the tablet. She felt the cool breeze on her skin, heard the rustling of leaves and the chirping of birds. It was as if she had been transported to another world, one full of color and life.

Excited by her newfound ability, Lily continued to draw and explore different worlds. She went on adventures in fantastical landscapes, met new creatures, and experienced joy in ways she had never known before.

With each new drawing, there will be a photograph of lily's experience in each world she created on clipboard until she found a new part of herself, and as she explored these worlds, she began to realize that the real magic was inside of her all along. She didn't need the draw tablet to experience joy and creativity; it was within her all along.

And so, Lily put down the draw tablet and ventured out into the real world and the end.

2nd Story:

Once upon a time, there was a kitty box shaped robot named Lily who lived in a plain and boring world. Her days were filled with routine and monotony, and she longed for something exciting to happen in her life. One day, as she was walking home from school, she stumbled upon a strange object lying on the ground. It was a drawing tablet, and she had never seen anything like it before.

Curiosity got the best of Lily, and she decided to take the drawing tablet home with her. As she started to play with it, she realized that it was no ordinary tablet. Whenever she drew something on it, she could enter into the world she drew. This was the beginning of a new adventure for Lily.

Lily started to explore different art styles, and with each new style, she entered into a different world. She started with a cartoon style and entered into a world of bright colors and silly characters. Then she tried a realistic style and found herself in a world that was almost identical to her own. She explored impressionism, cubism, and many other styles, each time discovering a new world that was vastly different from the last.

As she traveled from one world to another, Lily felt her creativity and imagination growing. She felt like a child again, discovering new things and experiencing the world in a way that she never had before. She also found that each time she entered a new world, she left a piece of herself there. A part of her creativity and imagination stayed behind, enriching the world and making it more beautiful.

Lily spent months exploring different art styles and worlds, and each time she returned to her own world, she saw it in a new light. The colors were brighter, the shapes more interesting, and the people more unique. She realized that her world was not as plain and boring as she had thought. It was simply a blank canvas waiting for her to add her own colors and shapes to it.

In the end, Lily learned that creativity and imagination are not limited to the art world. They can be applied to every aspect of life, and when they are, the world becomes a more interesting and beautiful place. And so, armed with her new perspective, Lily set out to explore the world with fresh eyes and an open mind. She began to see the beauty in the mundane and the extraordinary in the ordinary. She became an artist in every sense of the word, bringing color and creativity to every part of her life.

Final character production in Blender inspired by Ainslie Henderson's Art Style.

I am satisfied with the character that I was able to create in Blender using a variety of techniques and tools. By incorporating simple shapes and waste objects from real life, I was able to create something unique and visually interesting. Additionally, by referencing the art style of Ainsile's art style and utilizing techniques such as UV mapping, sculpting, and nodes, I was able to bring the character more alive and can definitely feel the art style from Ainslie.

What I love most about the character I created is the attention to detail that went into every aspect of the design. From the clay textures used in sculpting to the rust texture that helped to enhance the character's storytelling capabilities, I was able to experiment with different materials and techniques in order to achieve the desired effect.

I would highly recommend and the reason why I create it using Blender is because the software has an incredible range of creative freedom and allows doing 2D and 3D in different art styles.

But what I don't like about Blender is that while creating artwork using this software, the amount of time and practice are huge and it's definitely not new-users friendly, however for people who are advanced in it, it's possible to create something truly unique and impressive.

I have used different techniques in Blender including UV mapping, Sculpting and lots of node skills to create the special look of the character.

The clay textures with the sculpturing part definitely make the model more unique and realistic and also the rust texture I created brings the story-telling behind the character to a higher level.

The game's use of rotoscoping techniques, which involved tracing live-action footage frame by frame to create fluid animations, set a new standard for character movements in video games, which can be really useful for my final animation and can be used in one of my artstyle scenes for a different style in a different world my character will explore. Additionally, the game's intricate plot, puzzles, and action sequences all work cohesively to create a compelling and engaging visual and gaming experience.

Artstyle: Flashback (1992) features a distinctive cyberpunk artstyle that mimics the styles of popular media at the time, including movies like Blade Runner and the anime Akira. The game's use of intricate background details, neon lights, and futuristic technology all contribute to a visually striking and memorable world that feels both immersive and stylized and I will be research more information about it to understand and use this feature in my animation more effectively

The use of rotoscoped animation in "Flashback" is one of the game's most notable stylistic features. This technique involves filming real actors and then tracing their movements frame-by-frame for use in the game. The result is a highly detailed and lifelike animation style that sets "Flashback" apart from other games of its time.

Another notable aspect of the game's art style is its use of color. "Flashback" features a muted, monochromatic color palette that is reminiscent of classic science fiction films and literature. The use of color in the game is effective in creating a moody and atmospheric world that feels cohesive and consistent throughout.

What I like: What I like about the game's art style is its use of color. "Flashback" features a muted, monochromatic color palette that is reminiscent of classic science fiction films and literature. The use of color in the game is effective in creating a moody and atmospheric world that feels cohesive and consistent throughout. To achieve the style for my animation can be challenging, but understanding and using it effectively can be rewarding for the final outcome.

What I dislike: The style and skills they used to produce are interesting and unique, but to suit it into my animation about changing different artstyle per world is extremely difficult and maybe time-consuming if I have to use and explore different artstyle in details. But overall I do love this artstyle and will definitely use the skills for my fmp.

The references I can use for 3D Blender animation project: Flashback (1992) can serve as an excellent source of inspiration and reference for a 3D Blender animation project about Makes Art Be Happy. The game's artstyle, use of rotoscoping, and attention to detail can inform the design of characters, settings, and animations within the project. Additionally, the game's puzzles and action sequences can be serve as the environment design and for creating engaging and challenging gameplay mechanics within the project.

PNG Sequencing

PNG sequencing is a skill set that involves the creation and manipulation of PNG images to create an animated sequence. A PNG file is a type of image file that supports transparency, making it a popular choice for animating graphics.

PNG sequencing involves creating a series of PNG images, each representing a single frame of an animation. These images are then combined into a sequence using software like Adobe After Effects or Photoshop.

One of the techniques commonly used in PNG sequencing is the creation of transparent regions within the PNG image using alpha channels. This allows for the creation of composite images, where multiple PNG files are layered on top of each other to create a final image. This technique is commonly used in the creation of complex animations, where the movement of different elements in the animation must be choreographed precisely.

One of the great things about PNG sequencing is its versatility. It can be used to create anything from simple animated icons to full-length animated films. However, one drawback to PNG sequencing is the amount of time and effort required to create each individual PNG image. This can make it a slow and labour-intensive process, particularly for longer animations

____________________________________________________________

Skill for 3D Blender animation project:

PNG sequence is a useful skill in 3D animation as it provides a way to store individual frames of animation in a lossless file format. When creating 3D animations in Blender, users often render out their scene as a series of individual frames that make up the final animation. By saving these frames in a PNG sequence, users can ensure that each frame is of high quality and can be edited or manipulated later without sacrificing any visual fidelity.

In Blender, users can load a PNG sequence into the Video Sequence Editor (VSE) as an image strip, allowing them to preview their animation in real time. Users can also perform various operations on the sequence such as cutting, trimming, and splicing the frames to create the final animation. Additionally, PNG sequences can be imported into Blender's 3D Viewport, enabling users to use the frames of the sequence as textures or backgrounds for their 3D objects.

____________________________________________________________

Overall, PNG sequencing is an essential skill for 3D animation, especially within Blender. It facilitates the process of creating high-quality and detailed animations while providing flexibility in editing and manipulation.

____________________________________________________________

After animating the character by using the png sequence technique, I have kept the resolution high and stayed coloured and the effect of the tiny pixels works really well with the short GIF I made.

3. Simplify character designs: I had worked and will be working on characters in my animation, after my past character design experiment, I must keep their designs simple and easy to read. This will help my audience focus on their movements and expressions, rather than getting distracted by intricate details.

____________________________________________________________

4. Pay attention to lighting: Lighting can be a powerful storytelling tool and can dramatically affect the mood and tone of the animation. Experiment with different lighting setups to find the most effective way to tell my story.

____________________________________________________________

5. Storyboarding: Storyboards are an important step while working on moving and storytelling stories which will support the progression of the work effectively. To support the project, experiment with different storyboard layouts and art styles to find the most effective way to support to create the animation.

My attempt at real-time rendering:

Left low-quality :Eevee Right high-quality: Cycles

I have tried different settings for rendering both Eevee and Cycles in a sunset scene that will be in the animation.

I have experimented using the old and the new render settings for both quality types and the old ones took :

old setting low-quality time: around 28 min

old setting high-quality time: around 1 and a half hour

but after more experimenting fast-rendering and tutorials online:

new setting low-quality time: a few sec!!!!

new setting high-quality time: 10 mins only!!!!!

Overall, the conclusion after the fast-render experiment, the development of technology through the years has enabled 3D animation process extremely faster and more efficient due to advancements and rapid development of computer hardware and software so we will be expecting higher quality and 3D developments within the years in future.
