“OB2″ /*My First 3D Graphics Animation*/

My first 3D animation for CS176 Computer Graphics.

Q&A

Q:What did you use for animation?
A:The entire animation was done using Blender. I also used Windows Movie Maker for post-production (i.e. title, credits).

Q:Why is the title “OB2″?
A:My original plan was to model the Oblation. The story board was that I will make it run, get a sablay, throw it in the air, then it would warp around him just like in UP’s centennial logo. It was supposed to be my gift to my University. But in the end, I was constrained by time, and it was impossible for me to finish the animation in time for the deadline of this graphics exercise. So, my friend suggested to name it OB2 in honor of my original plan. And the name just sort of stuck.

If you have more questions, I’d be glad to answer them.

P.S. I’m still not giving up on my original Oblation plan.
