Research Overall For this assignment, I put together a youtube playlist to compile all the videos that I referenced and used while working on this module. These videos really helped me understand just how much personality and emotion can be shown through something as simple as a walk or run cycle that I […]

Reflections (Animated Narratives & First Year)
Animated Narratives Reflection When I first began this module, I thought it could be really fun! I loved the idea of a group 3D animation and the thought of having all our characters moving together seemed cool. However, as I got further into this module, I found myself getting increasingly more stressed as time went […]

World Of Animation Reflection (Assignment 2)
For our second assignment of this module, we were assigned with creating a group research poster focused on a particular nation’s animation. I put my name down for “Japanese Animation” and was later sorted into a group consisting of myself, Hugh, Sean and Padraig. For the first first class we had, we discussed possible topics […]
Animated Narratives
Introduction Our assignment for this module was to create a 30 second animated short centred around the theme of “Escape”. Each member must create their own character, but the characters are not allowed to have legs. I thought that this was a rather interesting premise and was excited to brainstorm with my group about what […]
World Of Animation Reflection
Reflection For our assignment, we were tasked with analysing a short animated film in a small group. I was assigned to Group 6 which was given the short “I’m a Pebble” created by Esmamovies. I was rather nervous when given the brief as I’m not too familiar with film analysis and I wasn’t very confident […]
200 Word Reflection
This assignment was my first introduction to sculpting, I had always been interested in learning to sculpt but had never given it a chance. Overall, I found sculpting quite hard to get used to and didn’t feel as though I was using the tools correctly even when following tutorials. I still enjoy seeing other sculpts […]
Posing + Uploading to Sketchfab
Now that I had everything modelled and textured it was time to add an armature. I did this by adding a single bone and then extruding it. I did this until I had one side finished. To ensure that my armature stayed in the middle of my mesh, I turned on snapping and set it […]
Texturing
After UV unwrapping, I applied a multi-res modifier to my mesh to create a normal map. By adding this modifier, I could go back into sculpt mode to create some more detail. I chose to add some detail to the hair and created some wrinkles onto the dress and apron. After I was done, I […]
Retopology
After I had finished my sculpt, I began retopologizing. To retopologize, I created a plane and sized it down, I lined it up where I wanted and then applied all transformations. I then applied a shrinkwrap and mirror modifier and ensured I had face snapping turned on. From there I simply extruded the edges along […]
