Week 4 - Exercise 2(Zombie Apocalypse Scene using MEL)

Part 1

On the first video, I was taught how to let the human walked continuously and of random X and Z axis. I also learned how create boundaries. From the first video, I can say that I've learnt quite a lot. The part that makes the human walk continuously is very useful. I will definitely use this in future.

Part 2

In part 2, I learnt how I can use the human and duplicate special and turn it into a zombie. It is not as tedious as it seem. I need to only duplicate special, remove the human and replace it with a zombie so that it is clearer to see which is the zombie and human. Since zombie walks slower, I change the zombie's speed.

Part 2 - Zoom in on Zombie

This is the zoom in of the zombie and as you can see that it walks slower than the normal human. And it also looks uglier.

Part 3

In part 3, the tutorial taught me how to create more than one zombie and human and all of them doing the same actions.

Part 4

In the previous part, whenever the humans walks beside nothing happen. That was not supposed to happen. The humans should turn into zombies whenever they are near to them. In this part, I learnt how to set the distance so that the human will change to zombie at a certain distance.

Part 5

The 5th path, there were 2 types of human, the one that walks naturally and another was the one that will look scared when he gets near to the zombie. I had to set the distance between the zombies and the human and when it gets near, the action will change. This is interesting as I am able to use 2 different humans and replace each other. I do not have to animate and each one of the humans.


Part 6- Control Panel
The last part of the tutorial does not need a playblast because it only taught me how to create a control panel to control the amount of zombies and humans that I want to add on stage. I do not need to create thousands of group to add them to stage.
