Virtual Environments: "My Secret Lair" - WEEK 1

The Brief
The Task: Imagine yourself to be a super hero or super villain, what would your lair be? Create a 1 minute animated fly-through of 4 linked spaces that best represent your secret alter ego.
Influences: Think Bat Cave, Dr Frankenstein's lab, the joker's lair, superman's the Fortress of solitude, and the fantastic 4's Baxter Building.
Content: Through looking at environment and prop design we shall explore and practice modelling, texturing, lighting and camera techniques with a view to a greater understanding of the animation production pipeline. We shall look at the work of big studios and independent animation auteurs with a view to developing an understanding of the creative and professional context of this vocation.

Week 1: Modelling 1: standard primitives, extended primitives, splines, lofts and lathes
