Possible music

Found this song on Youtube, quite like the beat of it. Have found a light style that suits it perfectly.
Need to see if i will be able to use it in the video though.

Basic movement flow graph

Tried to make a basic flowgraph to make one of the components on the graph move but its not working and i have no idea why.


This one ratating object is working, but i don't understand why the component will not move up and down.

The idea i have for the animation is to watch as the model comes ut of the water and then fly into it.
After that the smaller objects will start moving around us.
The larger objects will spin aorund slowly.
Maybe it could be a little bit foggier and have more lights shining to make it more whimsical.



Getting rid of the display info and weapons

Got rid of the gun using this flowgraph that disabled all weapons

Got rid of the info text with this flowgraph.
Finally.



Developements

 Wanted to create roots to place on the bottom of the model i made these but this might not work as well as planned. Have trouble actually moving them up to the model so i am going to try a different approach.

Now i am thinking of creating a grass and water terrain and making my model fly out from a mass of trees.

The audience will watch as it flies up.

After that the model will begin to spin and then we would fly up into the model and watch and land in a certain place.

When this place is reached we would then start going deeper into the model on the the part we had landed on and travel with it, and the smaller shapes would sought of fly around us. . . hopefully.

Added in a terrain and two types of trees, i had bush as well but i didn't like the way it glowed.
Things seem to be going to plan.
May make it rain as well, this will blend the trees together more.
Every time I load the model on i lose all the texture. So i figured that i might as well put the texture in when i actually need it for the movie because it's wasting a lot of time putting the texture over and over again every i go on Cryengine.

RAIN

I have made it rain! Huzzah!

Should now really begin to focus on the model and the animation.

Have a few thoughts for this:

Have it come out of the water and have parts of the model begin to spin after that.

Or having parts of it moving already as it is coming out of the water.

Not quite sure.

Time for some trial and error.

CLOUDS

RAIN AND CLOUDS?

Inspiration for the animation for the model

Inspiration from the film "Laputa castle in the sky"
Wondering if roots can be made in Cryengine to give my model a more earthy look to it.

Above are ideas of what i want to do with my animation.
Still need to find music as this would help a lot with the movement eg. When things should move, are there words that i want particular things to move with etc.

One hour lesson.

In the time of one hour i was able to create my model, give it texture and export it into Cryengine.
What i could not finish was making the movement of the object and making a frap (movie)

Cryengine - Beach balls

No idea what just happened.
