碩士 === 國立臺中科技大學 === 多媒體設計系碩士班 === 103 === “Bombing The Dragon” is a traditional Hakka festival, also is one of the most important Hakka events of the year. Dragon is a mythological animal that can brings lucky and auspicious future, people developing the “dragon dance” from the dragon totem and wish it can brings the wellbeing back to the people. We wish to spread the beauty of Hakka traditional by 3D animation, use Maya nCloth to simulate the movement of the dragon, make it more vivid and real. Hakka is the national cultural treasure of Taiwan, compare with the strong culture – Hokkien; it is not easy to conserve. Hakka culture is waiting to be discovered, it needs to be conserve and transmit. “Bombing the Dragon” is one of the Lantern Festival activities, the others are “Flying Lanterns”, “Bombing Lord Handan” and “Feng pao”. “Bombing the Dragon” is the only Hakka culture activity. It has 6 stages over one week. The 6 stages are “Pasting the dragons”, “Dotting the dragon’s eyes”, “Welcome the dragon”, “Walk with the Dragon”, “Bombing the dragon” and “Send the dragon back to the heaven”. Every stage has mounts of culture content. Animation is effective way to connect with audiences; it can present Hakka culture lively. “Bombing the Dragon” is attractive due to the sound and light effect, so dynamic simulation of cloth is very important. The nCloth system (New Cloth) of Maya is very useful. It will make the simulation more vivid and real of the dragon dance. Hakka culture is deserved to learn and transmit, “Bombing the Dragon” is only one part of it. We hope that audience not only learn the Hakka culture by this animation, but also get interested in their own culture, and then found the beauty of it.
