Dice Animation

Overview

This section goes over the process of creating and animating a six sided dice to show all the sides and to make it appear like it is floating.

Requirements

1. Create a cube (600X600X600) that displays the different dots on each side of a dice (the front will display one dot, right side is 2 dots, back side is 3 dots, left side is 4 dots, top is 5, bottom is 6 dots). 2. Create a ground and add a grid to it. 3. Rotate the dice 3 times in x, y and z over 5 seconds (similar to what we did in the video tutorial). 4. Adjust the rotation animation curves so they are fast to slow. 5. Add a spotlight and an ambient light. Be sure you create shadows in the scene. 6. Create and animate a camera round the cube. 7. Render the first 7 seconds.
