Project 1

"This project involves the completion of a tutorial for planet modeling and animation available in Chapter 2 of the Derakshani text. In addition, a second animation is required that is based on the first, but with modifications. Both animations should be created using playblast."

Change 1 - Bowling Pins

I added a bowling animation using Neptune.

Change 2 - Camera Path

I animated a camera path using the curve tool and attaching the camera to the motion path.

Change 3 - Background

I created a box using image planes of the space background, so that it is visible from all angles within the grid.
