Author: Reflecting on the year so far…
Prior to this course I had very little experience in blender, making small projects and following youtube tutorials but I never learned anything, I just repeated it. When I started off in this course I knew that the 3D aspect would really challenge and entice me. On week one I felt that I had beenContinue reading Reflecting on the year so far…
Helmet
This week I had to take everything I’ve learned from UV mapping in substance painter and apply it to a helmet design. I thought long and hard about what kind of helmet I wanted to design and what genre I wanted to go for. Medival and war style were too obvious and I tried toContinue reading Helmet
Character Design Class Work- Week 5
This week in class I learnt about character design and what shapes would be used for different types of characters. I found this very interesting but still frustrating as I am not yet the best at character design. I was given a group of squiggles and had to draw characters from these shapes. This wasContinue reading Character Design Class Work- Week 5
Character Design- Week 4
This week for homework I had to design characters for the Disney world. I had the choice to draw good or evil with two characters so I did one of each. I drew a young boy controlled by the Disney mask aka the Donald duck beak and did a quick sketch of his proportions whileContinue reading Character Design- Week 4
Colour Pallet Challenge- Week 4
This week I was teamed up with my 2D Disney group and was set a challenge. I had to take pictures around the campus and try to match a theme of colour pallets. I managed to get several good photos with different pallets. I took photos containing Analogous, Monochromatic, complementary, and grey scales. The challengeContinue reading Colour Pallet Challenge- Week 4
Sword Project
This week for homework I was told that I would not be getting step-by-step tutorials but instead an assignment with no instructions, a sword. I was nervous as I had to use what I’d learned in the last few weeks in this project. I began by researching what sword I would like to base mineContinue reading Sword Project
UV Mapping
This week in class I learned how to use UV mapping on blender and how to add an image as a colour. I started off by putting numbers on a dice cube, it was a bit confusing but I began to understand it more and more. I used a reference provided by mike for theContinue reading UV Mapping
ZuBat Animation
This week for homework I had to create zubat from pokemon. I was excited to start this project because anything 3D animation is really interesting to me. I didn’t realize how long this animation would take me. I enjoyed the process of using a photo to sculpt the bat and was interested in how simpleContinue reading ZuBat Animation
Milkshake & Flower
This week in class I followed the teacher Mike and his process of making a milkshake. At first, I thought this would be an easy project but later found that it was most definitely not. I made my cup a bit longer than Mike’s so it looked more like an iced coffee because… I loveContinue reading Milkshake & Flower
