The Chef and the croutons

Once I had created the crouton, I then needed to add a few of them into the bowl and animate them to make the look like they are being poured out into the soup.
To do this I cloned the crouton a few times and placed them into the bowl, I then animated them to follow the bowl when the bowl was being picked up and passed over,


I then animated them falling out of the bowl into the soup using the set key,

I then added the croutons that spell ‘UKTV Food’ to the scene and animated it so as the other croutons fall into the soup the other croutons appear.



Adding a camera to the scene:
I added a camera by selecting ‘cameras’ from the ‘create’ menu and dragging it onto the scene,




I then added a path to the scene by creating a line in the scene and converting it to an editable poly and selecting the vertices and moving them about to get the right path shape for the camera, I also done the same for where I wanted the camera to point,




To get the camera to follow the path I clicked on the camera and selected ‘animation’ from the top toolbar then ‘constraints’ followed by ‘path constraint’



I then just had to select the line for the path I wanted the camera to follow, I also done the same for the target of the camera as to the line of what I wanted it pointed at.
