Reflection on Week 11 (E-Learning)

This is a brand new start of the term. We have e learning on the first week. With two lab on animation. I find that animation can be alot interesting compare to modelling. As it is more alive. Firstly, I feel that this e learning teaches me alot of new things regarding on animation. Basically, it is all the basic. I have fun doing the exercise, although it can be a more tedious time trying and adapting something new. It would make me frustrated also, as to by insert keyframe one by one. Sometimes, i don't have the patience to click on the keyframe. Therefore, it can be quite challenging at first, But when slowly, i get the hang of it, i will be able to overcome the challenge.
For lab1, generally, following the site tutorial is not easy, as there are alot of description for me to read and also steps to follow. I do prefer watching video tutorial. At first, i redo the lab 1 a few times. This is because i have encountered some problem in adjusting the graph editor. This is the first time, i am not use to a step tutorial, therefore,i make mistake here and there.

Lab 2 is very interesting and i have alot of fun. However, it is also very tiring. First i have to understand what is the criteria or lesson that is hown in the document. I can say that the steps in the document are more clearer than the site tutorial. Personally, I feel that stretch and squash effect is easy but after doing it, it is hard and challenging. With new steps that i had never learn. Actually, it is a brand new steps. The problem i had met are like, i cannot squash and stretch the ball. Whenever i change the factor to 1 and i insert a keyframe at the respective frame, then i try to play the animation to see the difference. The animation of the ball is stretch throughout. I tried several times. I also approach lecturer for help. Then i realise, i might have forgotten to on the auto key. At first, i try again, its still the same. Hence i kept redoing it. Finally, i got my squash and stretch animation out. Overall, this is fun and fufilling lesson. ! (:
