20/12/2023   This week I finalised my model using a quick outline design as a guide. I’ve also applied seams on my model as well as my prop. Applying Seams on a Mesh is important as it tells ‘Blender from where you want your UVs […]

This week, we learned the basics of armatures and the works of Sketchfab. “An armature in Blender can be thought of as similar to the armature of a real skeleton, and just like a real skeleton an armature can consist of many bones. These bones […]

29/11/2023   Week 10 is all about adding detail and baking normal maps.  Adding detail is very important as it gives the model expression, definition, character and personality. Without detail, you could delay your work from being a perfect piece therefore using the Blender sculpting […]

22/11/2023   Self Reflection   It’s week 9 and we are introduced to Typology in Blender. Typology is about how the components of a mesh are ‘connected.’ Ref: https:///game-development/Topology However, typology in general is the ‘classification of a certain type of category’. Ref: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/typology Typology […]

Self Reflection It’s week 8 and the character designs continue to develop as we have to make 10 designs in total for our future character modelling project. The character modelling project is the next assignment that our class has to do: make a character of […]

09/11/2023 Self Reflection For this week’s assignment for 3D Digital Literacy, we had to create character designs for Assignment 2. For the designing stage, we have to relate it to Gennedy Tartakovsky’s signature styles and input his work into our art pieces.    Gennedy Tartakovsky […]
