Notes

Well I finally found out how to make a decent looking disk flattening animation. Turns out you can use the cast modifier to shape your model into a more disk like shape. When I did it before I would just cheat and use models with circular dresses so it gives the impression of me being competent. Ironically, the model that I picked to try this out with looks pretty decent in a disk even without the cast modifier because her dress ends up being circular anyways. Oh well, still a cool effect.

I like the hand motion Zelda does above her head. I tried to give it a bit more weight by spacing out the keyframes unevenly so it gives the illusion of her almost slinging it into position. It kind of worked out. The motion Zelda does to pull it down on top of herself looks pretty good too, but unfortunately it didn’t really end up being visible in the animation because she flattens out almost as soon as she does it.

The camera motion is nice in this one though. I tried to go for some more motion-y shots, opting to have the camera slowly pan or zoom instead of holding still. It gives a smoother picture, and I think it works.

Still love emission shaders, it’s just fun to make things glow.

Edit: Wow, I came really close to almost releasing this ( youtu.be/klBABZNZM6I ) as the full video by accident. Like, as in I had everything ready to go and was just about to hit the submit button. See if you can spot the difference. Rerendering it now so it looks fine.

Edit 2: Just finished the second render and realized I forgot to hide Zelda again, which was the entire reason I just re rendered the entire animation. Time to do it again.

Edit 3: Aaaaand I forgot to hide the sphere Zelda was standing on this time. One more time I guess.
