This was our biggest project yet. Involving every program we've had to use so far.

First we drew it on AutoCAD and in Inventor, each had their own difficult aspects. This project was meant to test us in all programs we have learned so we were thrown some curveballs within every aspect of the project. For example, in 3DS Max, we had to learn how to get the exact number of steps needed in order to pick up and drop down all the plates realisticly.

This project also required us to to have our animated logo first in where we would use that animation as our intro for our individual projects from there on. The animated logo required us to use Adobe After Effects for this project as well. After Effects was an entirely new program we were learning that semester and we got to learn how powerful it really is. We were tought how to use 3ds Max and After Effects together seamlessly in order to finish this project. After Effects also allowed us to modify fully rendererd scenes during post production, which is huge.

The final video showcases the skills I have learned using 3DS Max and After Effects. I was able to learn the real potential of these programs and I'm fairly confident in my skills in using these programs and I honestly hope I can pursue more of these types of projects in the future.
