Produced by: Brandon Ly
Based on the Grimm Fairy Tale "Death of the Little Hen"
This is a project that I worked on for an elective, special topics course at UCLA, specializing in 3D Real-time Animation.
I used the Unity 3D Game Engine (version 4.6.1 at time of production) to create and produce the animation; I programmed C# scripts, imported 3D models of various formats, and scripted model and scene animations to create and direct the scenes of my animation. I also did the narration and image text using a voice recorder and image editor software.
Here is the source code and assets for my projects. To take a view of the credits for this project, please refer to the credits section of this readme.
I created a punchlist halfway through the production of this animation. This punchlist denotes reamining tasks to complete my half-finished animation.
...
Finish up other scenes - Well, I need to finish the other scenes, so...
Make Ragdoll Physics work with animating - I want to figure out a way to make objects react to ragdoll physics even as they're animated. Otherwise, I must figure out a way to animate characters in scenes without Unity's default animation tool.
Make things look less like Unity - Make my animation look less like Unity, of course! I intend to use different skyboxes, different grasses, and different trees, ideally. I might use out-of-place objects (like modern city buildings and stuff I guess).
Find background music - I want to use some nice 90s-era cartoon music (or some other funny, sarcastic music to use) to complement my animation and add to the style of it.
Decicde between narrating myself or text-to-speech - I recently got feedback about my animation from classmates, and they mentioned that the thing that really gave it its charm was the text-to-speech I used for the scenes. This poses a dilemma for me. I originally wanted to narrate the animation myself in a funny voice, but if the text-to-speech works better, then I might go down that road myself.
Figure out a way to use my 'buffRooster' model - For some reason, whenever I load my 'buffRooster' model it lags Unity ... I want to use this for a specific scene and need to figure out how to 'unlag' it. Otherwise, I'll have to figure something else out.
Find out way to import Witcher 2 Models - I found really cool and nice models I would like to use from the Witcher 2 video game! Thankfully, CD Projekt RED, the developers of the game, officially permit use of their models, etc so long as it is not for commercial reasons. At the moment, I am trying to find a way to convert the raw exports of the models that I have right now into compatible model formats (fbx, obj, etc) to use with my animation.
