Assignment 4 - "High-Level" Animation Control

• Create a "model" with modeling and animation avars
• At least one of the avars should influence multiple attributes (for example, the "squash" avar which effects x-scale, y-scale, and z-scale)
• It must be something other than a squash avar.
• Something else should move as a non-avar function of time.
• The camera should be still. Put the motion in the scene.
• No default black backgrounds.
• Create a 320x242 or 160x121 animation of around 90+ frames, showing the animated model.
• The animation should be continuous when looped, meaning the end flows cleaning back into the beginning.
• Remember to work in wireframe, with lower resolution images (160x121), only rendering every Nth frame, before moving up to shaded, full rez images.
• Render one of the frames at 640x484 and hand it in as a jpeg: "hw4-mlewis-jpg"
• Submit the AL file that produced the animation: "hw4-mlewis-al"
• Submit the animation as a quicktime movie with a .mov extension: "hw4-mlewis.mov"
• Place the files in the HW4 directory in ~mlewis/Class/Homework.
• Make sure the files' permissions are set world readable.
• Sound is optional but greatly encouraged.
