Anna's World

Anna's World is a whimsical world of magic!
In my mind's eye, I could almost see it even as we were building it. It's not just the environment, it's also the sound, sights and experience that we wanted to build. Yes, the sound. Little Sarah and Daniel will be thrilled to hear their voices!
"I'll be putting in a lens flare!" so said Simon over the phone. "Cool!"
Anna's World - a whimsical world of magic!
"It's going to be really so beautiful and magical!" so I said to Simon, happily seeing the daisy turns from white to red and pink with the Daisy Glows script that uses the Interpolator BB.
Anna: "Daisy!" and the daisy turns from white to red to pink
Meanwhile Simon was working out his sophisticated Night2Day script. "I like your night ambience, really so nice and the fire flies..." I said to him. The fire flies make it so magical!
Fire flies everywhere!
With the house[1] re-UVed, re-textured and imported into Virtools, and the door open animation tested, we were ready to combine our work. My scripts were exported from my working composition, and imported into Simon's composition, and renamed as AnnasWorld. It was quite a bit of rework in merging, but I was thankful at least the scripts can be exported as nms and imported into the merged composition. I suppose there might have been a more efficient way of merging compositions...
I couldn't wait to get my hands on playing with emmiters - I wanted to put fire on the log in the house. So I took a look at ......
I really enjoy doing Anna's World. I'm always so happy to see little Anna, walking around looking at various interesting things -- "Jaws, daisy, door, rainbow, butterfly ....", thanks to the Anna Look script by Matt. I love it! And when Anna comes close to Jaws, she would say softly, "Jaws", and Jaws would wave to her and say "Oh oh!", followed by Anna's amused laughter.
Anna:"Jaws" and Jaws waves to Anna: "Oh oh!"
