Project 4: Rube Goldberg Machine
Created by: Alisa Yang
Date due: Apr. 7, 2022
Final Animation
1. Storyboards/ Description:
It's spring now! Thus, I made my Rube Goldberg Machine featuring the spring. My machine as a whole (objects arrangement) looks like the word "spring", and the final goal of my machine is to "activate" the ballon that has a "Hello" word on it. Greeting for the coming of spring~ The entire color arrangement (including the background) of this animation also features spring's color--green.

2. Five Objects of My Machine:
1. Character "s", playground slide
3. Characters "i" and "n", nail constraint group
2. Characters "p" and "r", gears and boards group
4. Character "g", candy
5. Ballon with words "Hello" on it
3. Some Final Thoughts:
Because this project uses a lot of Maya dynamics, it's very hard to get everything right every time I tried to render it with Arnold. I still haven't finished rendering until now and will definitely try to finish rendering as soon as possible.
​
Update! Arnold really doesn't work for this project, and I can't get the effect I want with Maya software render or hardware render. Thus, I used playblast which actually gives me better effect than Maya render. However, the lighting and shadow effects are not that good. This is the best version I can get.
