Starting this module, I was pretty excited. I was looking forward to learning how to use the character modelling skills that we learnt the previous semester and build on this to be able to create animatable characters and bring life to my creations. However, this module was pretty much a nightmare for me. The content […]
Animated Narratives
Dicey Dungeons Portfolio

Final Presentation Update- and Misc. Adjustments
This was our final week so we did a presentation to get some comments on our lighting, rendering and any other adjustments we could make before hand in. I decided that, since we didn’t get to present last time I would just remove some elements and focus on the final products, adding in our final […]
Final Animation- Adding Personality Section 3
This was the final section that I ended up working on, due to availability of files and such. Movement The first thing I did was to adjust some of my movements on the graph editor to make it flow just a bit better. I also noticed that sadly my character isn’t seen in shadow anymore […]

I think this is something that I will try and do for future characters, since I actually have […]

So going into today’s topic I wasn’t overly interested but I knew it was something important to know for 3D projects. Lecture Rendering First we had a little breakdown about the […]
