This week in class Rachel gave us a lecture on Material/UV Optimisation. I was a bit confused starting up but I followed along. I started with making a plank of wood, pretty simple but she was showing effective ways of saving time when modelling. Instead of sculpting and including the steps of retopology I usedContinue reading Material/UV Optimisation – Week 4
This week I missed class by accident but on the bright side Alec didn’t give a lecture so I went to watch his videos. To start I downloaded Alec’s file that had the contact pose already posed. I read his slides on how to go about doing it. I made sure to use fewer keyframesContinue reading Run Cycles- Week 4
This week I went back to basics in class, retopology. The worst part of 3D animation which every animator can agree on. I actually did need this class though, I struggled with reto a lot last year and was glad I could relearn some vital points. With the example above, I was given a meshContinue reading Retopology, Poly Editing, & Customising Brushes – Week 4
This week for homework I had to work on the animatic for my group animation. I knew it needed to be 30 seconds and follow the storyboard we had agreed on. we decided on this final storyboard which was a mix of all of our work as we each had excellent parts but together weContinue reading Previs Groupwork -Week 4
Week 3 0001-0050 This week I worked on the introduction to 3D previs and was given another ball to animate but this time it had a tail. Initially, I made the whole thing without the rig and then realized I completely forgot to use it and had to restart. It was an excellent reminder toContinue reading 3D Previs – Week 3 & 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
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
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
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
This week for homework we had to take a pre-drawn picture and add a light source using colour. I started by adding a light source in blue to give myself an idea of how I wanted the light to fall on the objects. I found getting the light source correct a bit difficult and stillContinue reading Colour theory Mountain Range- Week 4
