today we will be looking at adding a little flapping bee to our desert island / shark / plane scene
DO NOT WORK IN THE SAME SCENE THOUGH
you will need to work to the same scale though – the thing to do is go to your desert island / plane file and drop in a sphere and scale it the same sort of size as the plane (it should be larger than a bee though – think cartoon – about a quarter the size of the plane?) then copy and paste it into your new scene
lots of new skills today
- alpha channels for the wings
- axis center tool (structure menu)
- gradient shader
- symmetry object for the wings
- using the animation timeline – cycles to loop animation
the plan is to integrate this into the original desert island scene – so try to make sure it has the same character as these models
video tutorials are available
- 003_c4d_wings
you should also have a look at folder
- 090_c4d_selections and textures
more to follow for each individual skill
attached here are some suggestions for what it could look like
