Nanobot research…

While researching and creating sketches for my nanobot I looked at other animations created in reference to nanobots. Here is one i particularly found interesting and gave me a lot of inspiration towards my final piece.

My Video

Storyboarding…

Here is my story board, basically, draft ideas of camera movements and exactly what animations i think i will need for my video… Im bearing in mind ive never animated 3D before so im opting for basic animations that i feel can still be effective and give me the option to expand dependent on how well I get to know the program.

 

Video planning..

Begining:

Firstly i will give the user the insight into the background of my concept… showing video of hospitals, operations and treatments to give a medical base to the video from the outset.

Middle:

Go on to explain what the nanbot actually does, how it would help and what it offers. Perhaps use slides with text, fade in and out with information.

End:

Actually show my 3D animations of the nanobot. I think a pan shot of the object on its own firstly so its clear to the viewer. Go onto show the nanobot traveling in the body with blood cells. I should show the nanobot injecting bad cells and perhaps the cell breaking down.

Trans-Spacial Video Context

For my video piece im going to present the nanobot as a alternative to operations and treatments in the future. The concept is that nanobots in the future will be injected into a patients blood stream, where they will travel round the body targeting foreign bodies and injecting them with antibodies to destroy the alien cells.

These nanobot’s will be able to communicate and mass target cells that need destroying.

Nanobot background..

A nanobot or nanoagent can be defined as a robot of microscopic proportions.

They are tiny machines of nanometer-scale that use arms or pincers to pick up and move atoms as directed by their tiny electronic brain, which directs all their actions.

My nanobot will use sensors to ‘read’ atoms or molecules, gathering information and if needed instructing other nanobots of action to be taken.

Materials ( ref www.time.com ) :
NANOTUBES Carbon molecules form a hexagonal mesh that curls into a cylinder like a tube of chicken wire. About 100 times as strong as steel and 50,000 times as thin as a human hair, they can serve as the structure of a nanobot. Acting as semiconductors, nanotubes are also ideal for building a nanobot’s tiny microprocessor brain.

THE TWO SIDES OF MANUFACTURING The conventional approach is top-down: starting with large clumps of steel, wood, plastic, masonry and shaping them into the forms you want. Nanotechnology is, by contrast, bottom-up: stacking individual atoms into useful shapes. We know that the bottom-up approach is possible because that’s what biology does, assembling proteins from individual atoms and molecules, putting them together to form cells and layering cells upon cells to form large, complex objects such as sperm whales and giant Sequoia trees.

Trans-Spacial Development

Just screen shoots of progress through the 3D modeling.

 

 

Trans-Spacial design – first model

This is a screen shot of my basic first model, still need to add a few bits and then, most importantly try getting the textures right.

Trans-Spacial design

Ive been working on a first design in 3D, im working with Cinema 4D and am slowly getting to grips with the program although i have found it frustrating at first.

I have a basic model almost made but i still have to add textures and fine tune before i can even begin to animate..

Also i need to complete my story board so i know exactly what i will animate and what sort of time frame i will have.

Basic shape..

I drew up a mock-up of the shape I think I will use for my 3D model.
