This is the final render of the environmental animation with everything coming together to be one piece each texture blends together well none of them clash with each other and the colors chosen worked well to bring this animation together sound could not be created for this animation however it would bolster the piece to…

VFX breakdowns or multiplane animations are a great way to see how animations and CGI are put together as you can see the entire scene constructed or deconstructed layer by layer they are a great way to see the finer details in a piece and being able to separate those from the rest of it…

It’s crucial for the environmental animation that the flow of time be depicted beforehand otherwise when it gets created everything might fall apart at the seams and not flow correctly this could cause a bunch of issues in the long run so the creation of a storyboard is required as “The storyboard is a very important…

Textures are a great way to view small multiples as they are all the same shape but what’s in them is always slightly different from each other this is a great example of “simultaneous two-dimensional indexing of the multiplied image, flatland within flatland” (Tufte 1990 P.78) each of these square textures is made from 32×32…

The environmental animation will be used to show how we impact the environment and will be targeted towards large companies that do a lot of environmental damage to show them that what they are doing is harmful but it can be changed for the better and to do that color will be used heavily as color…

The last of Tufte’s principles is Micro/Macro readings which is the most fundamental but also the easiest to understand and to quickly paraphrase Tufte micro/macro design blurs together into one big Idea but on closer inspection resolve into smaller ideas that on their own can stand together (Tufte, 1990, P.43) take this image of the…

The fourth principle of Tufte’s Envisioning information is Layering and Separation and for forests, everything blurs together and intertwines as “Forests are complex adaptive systems in which properties at higher levels emerge from localized networks of many entities interacting at lower levels, allowing the development of multiple ecological pathways and processes” (Ecology & Society, 2020). A…

The next excerpt is all about telling a story onto flatland and detailing time which can be done in many ways “Painting four-variable narrations of space-time onto flatland” (Tufte, 1990, P.97). Life cycles are a great way to show “a smooth escape from flatland” (Tufte, 1990, p.110). They detail all the information in one image from…

Comparisons of small multiples is the next entry in Tufte’s Envisioning Information and it is all about how we can see things all at once “Small Multiples reveal, all at once, a scope of alternatives, a range of options” (Tufte, 1990, p.68). Small multiples are usually used to “display many variables with less risk of…

This new project will be focusing on Tufte’s 5 principles from Envisioning Information In a specific subject area and I have chosen to do Environmental Animation mainly focusing on forests and how they affect the environment as our main producers of air. Color is used to convey many things other than just looking good “Human…
