Artifact description: 3D model and animation of a metronome created in Autodesk 3DS Max.
Tool(s) used: 3DS Max
Highlighted skills: 3D Model Creation, Animation

This project was created for GRA 202: 3D Modeling and Animation. The initial project was completed in 2021 with refinements added in 2023. The class taught the basics of 3DS Max and we were tasked with creating a model of a household object. I would describe the process of creating and polishing the project as straightforward. Following feedback from one of my professors, I fixed the topology for the lower silver piece on the right side of the metronome. If I were to revisit this project again, I would like to apply the lettering and the front glass that were omitted in the original project. One challenge I faced was deciding what type of animation to create for the project since there were many options to pick. Due to time constraints, I chose a simpler animation with the metronome throwing one of it's pieces at a distant box. I do like the added touch of the piece falling back into place.
