Motion Tracking Exercise

I used Autodesk MatchMover to make a maya file with camera tracking the motion in the video.
Then, I added a ball bouncing in the frame, slowly rolling... I also added the shadow to make it look more realistic!

DUE TO ITS LARGE SIZE, I HAD TO POST IT ON VIMEO.. HERE IS THE ADDRESS!

Animation - bouncing ball

I made the ball bounce three times and slide into a hole on the ground.
I tried to make the ball squeeze when it hit the ground by shrinking the lower part of the ball in the vertex mode, to make it look more natural.

Animation - flying disk!!

I made a flying disk, briefly through maya. I made the disk with surface - rotation then converted it into polygons
then I made a simple cityscape with buildings. The disk flies around, then lands on top of one of the buildings.

3D - animation render

I added two key frames and changed the particle time... to make the particles flow.
I batch rendered 20 frames of it, then made them into an animation with after effects.

3D Particle Exercise

I added a 3D container in Fluid Effects Tap, then put the space dust particles on my space scene.

3D Material Exercise

I used displacement mapping in order to make bumpy surface of the planet.
Also, I used special effects->glow and hide object to make the little halo effect on the planet.

Dong Kim 3D Modeling - Laughing Buddha

This is the final product.
I used geometric sculpt tool for the face and the legs.
Also, this tool was very useful in making the arms chubbier. Loved it!
