Tool Kit 2: Fog & Atmosphere

 

Tool Kit 2: Fog & Atmosphere

In this tutorial we went through the 2 different was of creating fog in Maya. the first being aiFog and the second being aiAtmospherevolume. These create different effects and work differently. The first i used was aiFog a seemingly simpler system then the second after finishing the tutorial. Having few controls mainly, distance,  height and colour these have limited uses however can still be used to create good effects.

The second way aiAtmospherevolume seems like a more sophisticated way of controlling the visual look of fog in your scene, having control of how strong the fog is, have much it darkens the scene as well as how lights in your scene appear through the fog. These give you huge control of the scene before the need to composite in a different piece of software.

Inciting Incident This would be where the rest of the astronauts leave our main character Mark Watney on mars after presuming him dead in a storm. He instead doesn't die and manages to make it to the relative safety of the space habitat where he stops himself from bleeding to death. Before the audience is told about marks plans on how to stay alive fighting the main problem he faces in the whole ...

Lion King : Archetypes

  Film Review: Lion King Hero: Simba is the hero of our story and fits the archetype of a hero so well when thinking about the hero's journey. Shadow: Scar is the shadow in the lion king sowing ill will and deception in the start of the movie to set up the events of the film. Herald:  Rafiki calls Simba to action and shows him a way to get in contact with his father. He helps the hero find there way and shows Simba the path when he's lost. The Threshold Guardian: I think the threshold guardians are the hyenas in the lion king. i think this is because they are present and the threat when Simba and Nala go into the darklands, crossing the threshold into defiance against Mufasa. Trickster: Timon as he plan's to use Simba for safety as he is a lion and can scare off other predators.  Mentor/father: Mufasa if Simba's father and mentor, a father figure who is teaching him to be king even after his death at the start of the movie. Allies: Timon, Pumba and Nala are the main all...
