Visual Effects 1: Lesson 3

Visual Effects 1 (VEF1)
Lesson 3: Soft Bodies
This Is Halloween!
(Ok, so it isn't yet, but I'm eager)

Soft Bodies, were simple and though they are similar to
Blend Shapes (Rigging Term), they are less of a pain in the butt.
It was fun to set up this scene and even more fun to make this
pumpkin move and dance without it needing a rig.
The only issue I ran into was the fact that as I made
the pumpkin collapse, the interior would bleed out through
the exterior. It wasn't hard to fix, but it was being a little
difficult.

Pre Pro:
And
Here
 We
Go

Once more, such beautiful storyboarding. 

The whole point was to make something appear bouncy or to be melting. 
It took a couple hours for me to settle on an idea that I liked,
my first thought was of course a jello or gummy like substance,
when I realized it had been done a lot my next thought was
chocolate. Make it make and create something fun with it,
I struggled with deciding on what, and while looking around for
ideas I ran into this pumpkin model and immediately had
the thought of the pumpkin melting or rotting away. As
you can see my end scene ended up being a little more fun than that
but the process to getting there was certainly fun.
