Suggestions & Tips:
- Incremental Progress: Hand in playblasts and progress versions of you projects each week to improve your grade.
- Design: Don’t use complex geometry or much geometry at all. Simple geometry will make your life (assignment) much easier.
- Priorities: Don’t spend a lot of time modeling or animating. This is a Particle Effects class – therefore spend your time making the particles look good.
- Planning: Don’t forget to leave ample time for the final rendering and compositing stages (I suggest that you plan to spend a full week rendering and compositing because of the slowness of the network and competition for computer resources at the end of the semester).
