This week, we learned how to rig and animate the machine.
The first time I made a mistake when repositioning the axis of the model. As a result, the machine did not move in the way that I wanted. Then I fixed the problem, by gathering the axes of different parts of the models into one point, the machine could move around two axes.
Then, we set up the belt. I made another mistake when creating the model of the belt. I chose the wrong polygon, which made the belt looked weird.
Nick taught us a way to cheat when animating the belt. Actually, the model didn’t have to move, we can only animate the UV of the belt.
Apart from what we learned in class, I also continued to model my machine.
