I have chosen this scene from the movie Terminator 3 Rise of the Machines. This is an edited version of the original scene as I had to cut the actors out because the main purpose of this project was not character animation. One of the main reasons for selecting this scene was the fact that it contains object and particle animation, and also the fact that the crane is actually CG and not real.





These are some short tests that the 3D artists created durng the making of the 3rd film to find a realistic way for flipping the crane over. I have no idea what all the little points are on the model are or do but I am sure as I continue this project I will hopefully learn what they are for.
