Week8:Critical report_researc

Cartoons are an integral part of modern children’s culture, and many children are exposed to cartoons as part of their early entertainment. I have a keen interest in children’s psychological development and the process of value formation, and would like to explore how cartoons influence children’s emotions, moral values and behavioural patterns. This research will help me gain insight into how children receive and digest information when exposed to these media, which in turn influences their worldview and values.

The overall theme of these presentations focuses on the impact of the media on children, in particular how it affects their psychological development, values, behavioural patterns and social perceptions through the medium of television, films, cartoons and so on.

I’ve looked into the literature to find the deeper mysteries.

Week 10:Dragon animation and knight animation in Maya

Based on my own version of the story, I looked for references and then animated the knights, the first walking, the second falling from a height, the third running and then jumping up and chopping, and the fourth crawling on the ground.

The dragons and knights are assets I found online

The cushioning of the jump down is still not good enough for me, so I hope I can improve it by learning body mechanics.

reference:

The run may still be a little stiff and the final cushioning could be made a little silkier.

This move is a reference to the movement of running and then the final movement of chopping is my own idea

crawling on the ground:The crawling animation is about the human desire for wealth and power, and that’s what I’m trying to convey through this movement.

Here’s a sliding shovel sequence dodging flames

Dragon Animation

Dragon animation mainly includes dragon flight animation dragon walking animation dragon fire breathing animation

dragon walk animation

I put the assets I made for the snowy mountains into maya, put in the animation I made earlier for the dragon fly, constrained the path of the dragon fly with the trajectory animation, and then exported the abc cache before putting it into ue5

The animation of the dragon walking is similar to that of a human walking. The hard part I think is the following movement of the head and the body and the tail of the dragon.
