+MAADM [Thesis] _ [Animating Trajectories]
Using MEL scripts (Maya Embedded language) I have managed to produce my first maya animation.
The short animation describes a simple tube like structure as a result of uniting flight vectors-the trajectory of each agent as history paths. Fifty (50) agents in total swarm to produce a secretion path for skizoïd machines. If we analyse the combination of all the autonomous agent’s flight paths as one entity it exerts a complexity that can be understood through theoretical principles of chaos theory and emergence.
I envisage taking this animation further by scripting a flight pattern for a particular swarm to follow. Path vectors will then be made to form a complex geometry.
