New improved research paper

Pixar's objective is to combine proprietary technology and world-class creative talent to develop computer-animated feature films with memorable characters and heartwarming stories that appeal to audiences of all ages.Going on pixar is a computer animation movie studio based in Northern California. Although initially the company was geared toward computer-generated imagery (CGI) hardware, it eventually began producing completely CGI short films and feature length movies. With the release of Toy story in 1995, the company revolutionized the faltering animation industry.
The company was originally owned by Lucasfilm, and was created to develop advanced animation technology for use in live-action movies. In 1986, the company was purchase by Steve Jobs, the head of Apple, Inc. The company developed the Pixar Imaging Computer, which met with a limited market although it attracted the interest of Walt Disney Studios, particularly through its short film demonstrations made by an employee named John Lasseter . In 1991, despite bad sales of their computer, Walt Disney made a three-picture production deal with the studio, the first of which would be Toy Story.
          
         Pixar contributed to the movie industry by creating an academy award winning computer animation studio with the technical,creative and production capabilities to create a new generation of animated feature films that attracts all ages.  Pixar has also contributed to the movie industry by making computer animation a success and continues to show their creativity through its art and technology. Not only do they make fun animated films they also make short films included in the animated film. In many ways, Pixar Studios revitalized the movie industry when it brought Toy Story to the big screen in 1995. The studio turned digital animation into a multi-million dollar business, by enabling the medium to reach older demographics. However, Pixar was not always this successful, the studio nearly went bankrupt before releasing Toy Story; they managed to stay afloat by taking on commercial projects on behalf of Tropicana, Listerine, and Lifesavers.


         Going on Pixar Animation Studios is an American computer animation film studio based in Emeryville California, United States. The studio has earned twenty-six Academy awards, seven Golden Globes, and three Grammys , among many other awards and acknowledgments. Its films have made over $6.3 billion worldwide. It is best known for its CGI-animated feature films created with Photo Realistic Render man, its own implementation of the industry-standard Render-man image-rendering application programming interface used to generate high-quality images. Pixar began in 1979 as the Graphics Group, part of the Computer Division of Lucasfilm before it was acquired by Apple co-founder Steve jobs in 1986. The Walt Disney Company bought Pixar in 2006 at a valuation of $7.4 billion; the transaction made Jobs the largest shareholder in Disney.


        Pixar has produced eleven feature films, beginning with Toy Story in 1995. It was followed by A Bug's Life in 1998, Toy Story 2 in 1999, Monsters, Inc. in 2001, Finding Nemoin 2003, The Incredibles in 2004, Cars in 2006, Ratatouille in 2007, WALL-E in 2008, Up in 2009 and Toy Story 3 (to date, the highest-grossing animated film of all-time, grossing over $1 billion worldwide), in 2010. All eleven films that Pixar has produced have been largely successful, both critically and commercially. The $602 million average gross of their films is by far the highest of any studio in the industry. Not only does Pixar make awesome animated movies Pixar also makes short films so far Pixar has made eighteen short films. 
    
   In addition pixar films has contributed some of the most famous movies to the film industry and so far from what i see they will last . Pixar has always and will always be seen in the film industry. Since Pixar has lasted this long one can only imagine how their movies will be in the future.

tutorial list

1. incandescence ramp
2.opacity tex gain
3Graph editor 

Tutorial

I picked this certain 3D model because the instructions looked very detailed and not only that but  it seemed like a cool 3D model to make .From what i see right now the instructions look easy and detailed.

How does the change in settings impact ?

Changing the settings impacts everything by changing the way the tools work and the its going to make the object look . Multiple edge loops being on impacts how many edge loops you grab at a time. Number edge loops impacts the number of edge loops you grab at a time .Auto complete impacts the way you create components of the object you are creating .

New Tools

Today i learned how to use two new tools. One of the tools was the Append to polygon tool which was used to click the borders in a counter-clock wise motion to create the shield. Another tool i used was the vertical split tool which was use to split the shield in half to make the shield appear round .

My 3D object

Creating my 3D object was less challenging then i excepted . I actually expected the creating of my project to be more challenging. Now that i know it wasn't as challenging as i thought it wasn't going to be i would've done something more complicated . In addition creating this object was actually fun . In continuance i was pretty proud of my resulted object.

Element

To create my ipod
1. To create my ipod first i opened Maya went up file created a new scene.

2. i went to create on the main menu went down to polygon primitives and created a cube on my grid i dragged it to the width of three squares and dragged it up to the length of my liking .

3. i went to create went to Nurbs primitive and created a circle and put the rotate x to 90 and and with the move tool moved the circle to the bottom of the rectangle .

4. i went to create and put polygon primitives and got created a small sphere small enough to fit in the middle of the circle . Then i got the circle and with the move tool dragged it to the middle of the of the circle.

5. i went to create went down to polygon primitives and created a cube and stretched the length long enough to look like a small rectangle smaller then the original one being above of the circles to look like the screen of the i pod . And thats how i created my ipod on Maya .

3D proposal

I am creating an ipod and i am using 4 shapes 2 circles and 2 rectangles

Template display

1. When you'r scene becomes complex.

2.  Templating the display of some of the objects in your scene allows you to more easily select only the objects you want .

3.The object can still be seen but not easily selected .

4.This helps to prevent you from selecting or modifying it accidentally.

5. From the main menu, select Display > Object Display > Template. The selected objects become templated.

6. On the status line , choose the select by Hierarchy and Combinations button.

7. Used the template for the base and the columns of the temple.

Problems i faced on friday ? and What i learned?
