Introduction

Welcome to my Final Major Project blog. Here I will be posting various ideas and updates on the progress of my 3rd year BSc 3D Computer Animation final project at Swansea Metropolitan University. The aim of this project is to develop a plugin (a software tool or feature within an already existing piece of software) to be used in a particular visual effects program, in order to bring extra functionality into it. The visual effects software which this plugin could potentially be used for include:-

• Autodesk Maya - Autodesk.com
• Nuke - The Foundry
• Houdini - Side Effects Software
• Pixar's Renderman
• Realflow - Next Limit
