Animation - Machine Vise


This project involved creating a multi-step screw press. The process began with dsigning the individual components in Autodesk 3DS Max. Links and relationships were established to define how the parts and objects should interact. The focus then turned to selecting and applying high-quality material textures. The lighting and camera setup was next, this required careful selection of light color, brightnes, and position. This step involved a significant amount of time and test renders to ensure the lighting and shadows complemented the materials effectively. 

The cameras were positioned to capture the animation, emphasizing the assembly process and how the components fit together. Rendering the animation was a time consuming task. Finally the rendered image sequences were organized by camera and imported into Adobe Premier. Using skills such as video transition, audio editing, and title creation, the sequences were compiled into a video. Below is the completed animation video, drawings, and some photos of the project.
