Workshop Two builds on what we learned in the first workshop and gives students the opportunity to build some amazing Props to use in their Animation and Video Game projects. Need a Chainsaw, Assault Rifle, Musical Instrument, or Vehicle for your project? No problem. Want that prop to function and have animated features pre-built in? You got it! Students will capture their own reference material and create amazing set props that are convincing and rigged, ready for use in your animation or game. We will also be creating Set pieces that will be perfect for your Real-Time (Game) and pre-rendered Feature Film uses. Set Design Project topics will cover both interior and exterior sets.  We will make use of hard and soft surfaced objects with animated elements such as wind blowing through trees and curtains, water flowing over rocks, and clouds moving across the sky to create convincing environments. Finally, we will light these amazing Sets with Daytime and Nighttime Lighting Models. Baking lighting into textures will ensure our game engine will look just as amazing as our scene looks when rendered with the Arnold Render Engine within Maya.
