Source control

Image
  Source Control Source control is important when a large group are all working on one program. It allows multiple developers to easily work on the same codebase without breaking it. Source control is the practice of tracking and managing changes to software code. Version control systems are software tools that help software teams manage changes to source code over time.

Magnitude

 Finding Magnitude Magnitude of vectors is found using Pythagoras theorem. To find the magnitude you do this (x^2 + y^2) ​ So for the vector (5,8) ​it would look like this  (5^2 + 8^2) ​ Start with the squares (25 + 64)​ Then the addition (89)​ Then for the last step you find the Square Root. This leaves you with the answer  9.43398113206

Vectors

 Vectors ____________ Addition For addition you need to first identify the X and Y components of your vectors​, this will be the horizontal distance of the vector (X)​ And the vertical distance of the vector (Y) ​Then you add together both the X’s and both the Y’s. Subtraction Subtraction is the same as addition but you need to reverse the second vector in the operation​, So if the question asks for (7,8) – (-9,10) , you need to reverse the second vector and then do addition as normal​. The question then becomes (7,8) + (9,-10)​. Solving that gets you (16, -2).

non-violent weapon

  Non- violent weapon For this project I have to create a 3D, non violent weapon (a weapon that does not cause harm when used on anyone or anything). to do this project we have to take an actual weapon and change it to make it a non-lethal weapon. So for my idea for a non-violent weapon was to create a bow that shoots harmless, plastic arrows. These arrow will have a suction cup head to make them non-violent. Reference images First design My design In the first design that I made, I made my bow larger and more violent looking but I then later on decided to change this because I did not like the blocky look and decided to make it smoother and less blocky looking to make my bow feel more real and more natural. My bow is going to have a plastic texture with a bright red colour. I'm using a plastic texture, this is to make my non-violent bow look more like a toy/ non-violent weapon. The bright red colour is also to make my bow look like a non-violent toy. I originally made my first des...

Compositing & Chroma Key

Compositing Compositing is where you combine multiple layers to create a succinct image blending live action footage with computer generated imagery using green screen. Effects to help your compositing appear real: Tint – ‘Map Black To’ and ‘Map White To’ the darkest and lightest areas of the live action footage then set the ‘Amount’: 25%​ Blur & Sharpen: ‘Fast Blur’ – ‘Blurriness’ set to around 1-1.5​ Noise & Grain: ‘Match Grain’ – Select ‘Noise Source Layer’ and set to your footage, ‘Viewing Mode’ set to ‘Final Output’ you can also utilize ‘Tweaking’ if needed.​ Colour Correction: ‘Lumetri Colour’ - lower the ‘Saturation’ to help blend. ​ Other effects you may utilize include: using layer ‘Modes’ including ‘Screen’, Duplicating layers to add depth, other Grain effects, Blurs (including ‘Fast Box Blur’ & ‘Camera Lens Blur’) and colour correction using ‘Curves’. ​
