Glass smash: Solution!

After trying different methods to get exactly what I wanted from this glass smash, I decided to individually animate each shattered piece, here is an example playblast of the first animated glass smash. Literally one piece.

@ANYONE: MAYA -- Getting the sphere to stay still/ break onto solid ground.

I have been practising with broken glass and found a method that works pretty well, but.. when I make the breakable glass out of a plane, it works really well, but once I try on a different shape, instead of staying still, the sphere completely falls to pieces, not what I want.

Video 1 is what I created using an 'nCloth' and an 'nCache', while the sphere has a 'Passive collider' and this was the result, which I like

Video 2 I done the exact same thing but to a sphere rather than a plain, but the whole sphere collapses... could any one tell me why this is?

If not.. I have another idea which could still work but still don't know how to do, the other way was to let the sphere collapse but onto a solid floor rather than just into the air, so how can I tell the broken shards that there is a hard floor below them and to not go through it?

Artists Toolkit: Life Drawing

I must say, I really enjoy doing the long drawing, this last one was 45 minutes, I took my time and tried to make sure every line was correct, I feel I am improving better with these long images than the quick ones. :) I was also advised to try doing heads, as I leave them out, or just indicate where the chin is, but on the quick three minute drawings and the long drawing I decided to give it a go, I do think it looks better with a head.

Fantastic Voyage: Research, Design and Target Audience

I have chosen to do the reproduction cycle of Moss:

From what I have researched, listened and learnt, I have decided to design mine in a glass style, here some of my influence maps

This is my main inspiration:

I will have a black background, room like, area in which I will show the reproduction of Moss, using the glass so that we can see what's going on inside and using light to show heart beats, life. I will also use the light to help drive attention to what I want the viewer to concentrate on.

I have decided to do this for Young adults and older, an age in which I think would understand and appreciate a structure purely of symphony music, realism and lights. The moss reproduction information will not be worded but decoratively placed within the animation, though if  the animation explains enough and the words are a distraction, I will try with out.

Here is some design ideas for the shapes, colours and glass designs.

These are the designs for my sporophyte.

These are some glass designs for the Gametophyte, plain, reflective colour and solid glass. These are all not including the lighting effect.

These are from a tutorial on "How to create glass in Photoshop" these are my versions. I will make more adjustments of my own design but this is the gist of what I want to do. This will be the design for the spores. 

From these designs, I want to keep the colours of green, and incorporate reds and pinks.

Here is my story board of how my animatic will go:

Act 1: Diploid

Act 2: Meiosis

Act 3: Fertilization

Here is the script for the story board:

Moss Reproduction

 To be clearer of the beginning of Act 1, I created a short and simple prototype in Maya to explain the spin and zoom.
