In this lesson I learned how to topology and the importance of topology. First of all, topology is the process of converting a high resolution model into a smaller model that can be used for animation. Secondly, we should pay attention to the principle that the topology should follow the animation needs. For example, in the parts where muscle movements are more obvious, it is important to ensure that there are more faces and that they are all quadrilateral to avoid stretching. In the parts where the movement is not obvious or is not present multilateral faces can be hidden in. Protect the necessary structures of the body with loops to avoid deformation of the joints.

I want to study the materials and themes of Pixar animated films based on cross-cultural communication and integration.Pixar is very good at drawing from different cultural backgrounds and digging into the core, and their team of creators is from all over the world.They are involved in and understand different cultures. After the selection of topic, the story and characters are packaged and embellished to convey to the audience a view of culture and values, which also plays a certain guiding role.They do not understand other cultures from a one-sided identity and perspective, but are good at digging into the most universal and resonant points in the core of other cultures. However, at the same time, the problem is that such traditions and values handed down from other cultures are far from and even run counter to the traditional values of Western countries and even many eastern countries.Pixar cleverly avoided the contentious points, using emotion as a bond to convey some of the culture’s core core.On the other hand, the Pixar company in the United States will also export a lot of American culture. Examples include individualism and collectivism, heroism and adventure, feminism and so on. Keywords pixar，cross-cultural，American Values，Animation theme
I chose the movie theme picture to represent time, which has two meanings.
The first is that directors in movies have different understandings of time. Hermione uses the Timechanger in order to gain knowledge and help her companions. Dest and Emma in oneday meet three short times in life, and three onedays are each other’s best time. LizhenZhou and MuyunSu meet at the wrong time, secretly restrain their love, and finally miss each other. Time is a shame for them. The Cinema of Paradiso uses the prosperity to collapse of cinemas to represent the loss of the history of time.And finally, I used the poster of Love Actually and packed the photos.
On the other hand, for me, there is a lot of time in my life spent with movies, past, present, and future.
