  7. Recap! • Last lesson’s assignment! • Coming up with an idea of a story based on the theme of global warming

  8. Lesson Outline • Lesson 1 – Introduction to Alice • Lesson 2 – Programming + Project

  9. Contents • Camera Actions • Advanced Programming • Working on project

  10. Camera Actions • What is a camera?

  11. Camera Actions • Imagine the camera as a satellite

  12. Camera Actions • Open Alice software! • Double-click Icon:

  13. Camera Actions • Camera Movements • Camera Properties • Dummy objects

  14. Moving a Camera • Editor mode • Video mode  Programming codes

  15. Moving a Camera • Object Tree  Click on camera

  16. Moving a Camera • Details  Click on methods

  17. Moving a Camera • Camera actions! • Exercise 1: Add an object to the World and view it from many perspectives!

  18. Moving a Camera • Birds-eye view – Move away from object • Close-up – Get a good look at object • Back/Front view – Set point of view to object, move forward/backward, turn

  19. Dummy Objects • Imaginary objects placed at certain positions

  20. Dummy Objects • Camera set point of view to dummy object

  21. Dummy Objects • Adding dummy objects • 1) Move to position of dummy object • 2) Right-hand side, click on more controls • 3) Click on add dummy object at camera/object

  22. Dummy Objects

  23. Dummy Objects • Exercise 2: View an object from different perspectives using dummy objects!

  24. Camera Properties • Alternative way to view objects • Allows camera to follow certain objects, such as vehicles

  25. Camera Properties

  26. Camera Properties • Exercise 3: Add a vehicle to world, program vehicle to move and camera properties to follow the vehicle

  27. Advanced Programming • Background Animation • Human Animation

  28. Advanced Programming • Background animation • Movement of background of objects

  29. Advanced Programming • Add fan to world • Objects Gallery • Go to object tree, click on “+” at fan, select blades • Add loop • Methods, fan blades roll left 1 revolution

  30. Advanced Programming • To make it run as background: • Add a do together function • Add a do in order function • Place fan movement into do together • Place other animations into do in order

  31. Advanced Programming

  32. Advanced Programming • Alternative method • Click on World in Object Tree • Click on new method • Name as Fan Blades • Click on Fan Blades in editor • Add loop • Methods, fan blades roll left 1 revolution

  33. Advanced Programming

  34. Advanced Programming
