For practice, we played around with an alien model that Mike had already provided as a way to learn how to add bones to our characters. I then continued to create the Chimera, building up the arms, adding hands and eyes, and then attempted to use retopology.  Unfortunately, unlike the elephant’s head, this ended upContinue reading 3D Literacy Assignment 2 (Week 11) – Posing The Character And Exporting To Sketchfab

I learned a little bit about baking maps in Blender, and mostly played around the elephant head. I’m still trying to get the Stooge Chimera the way I want it.  Moe and Larry are fine – but Curly still isn’t funny enough.  Can’t seem to get a loose likeness.  I’ve also made the feet smaller.Continue reading 3D Literacy Assignment 2 – (Week 10) – Adding Detail and Baking Normal Maps

I continued the idea of using the Three Stooges as the Chimera after deciding that if the Stooges themselves were alive, chances are, Tartakovsky and Adam Sandler would try to work with them, or get them involved somehow.  In the end, I think I’m more or less able to narrow down this design.  The ringContinue reading 3D Literacy Assignment 2 – (Week 7)

I continued to develop the Chimera with Basic Meshes.  Due to the fact that I have to pose it, I went back to how we created the Snowman, and therefore built up the limbs as if it was like an action figure. I think the overall concept is working, but Curly’s head looks more likeContinue reading 3D Literacy Assignment 2 – (Week 8)

Today I was introduced to Retopology – the act of taking a 3D Model and bringing it’s Poly number down from millions to thousands.  We were given an Elephant’s head to work on, and after the lesson, we practiced… Not so you would notice, but I did struggle with this exercise. Then tried again, andContinue reading 3D Literacy Assignment 2 – (Week 9) – Retopology

After completing our introduction to Blender, which was finalised with the creation of 5 Models, we moved onto the beginning of our larger 3D assignment.  In this case, we began to learn how to use Morph Mode, and then eventually create our own characters that could appear in Hotel Transylvania. I decided to create whatContinue reading 3D Literacy Assignment 2 – (Week 6)
