As Week 8 class came to an end, we had completed a general idea of how our dimensions would form together which would make the most sense for the story while also brainstorming details that would be included in the dimensions. The Idea “An old postman is doing his normal day to day job of… Continue Reading Animation Studio – Week 8 Homework

3D Digital Literacy – Week 9
During week 9s class, we began combining our sculpting skills with our modelling skills to create a functioning character model with good topology. We started with a low poly head which was marked with difference colours that represented the different sections of the face. Due to this being a new method of modelling a character,… Continue Reading 3D Digital Literacy – Week 9
3D Digital Literacy – Genndy Tartakovsky Research
the first thing I realised when researching Genndy Tartakovsky art style is the unique design his character have due to the way there expressed along with the established silhouettes that are distinctive to each character he creates. In addition Genndy shows extremely expressed emotions to all his character, this is clearly shown… Continue Reading 3D Digital Literacy – Genndy Tartakovsky Research
3D Digital Literacy – Week 8 Character design
This week we continued exploring sculpting mode in blender; however, we began to model an entire body. We learnt how to structure a body using specific shapes, this meant knowing the general proportions and structure of anatomy, which I had a general idea about, but quickly realised that my anatomy knowledge is something to work on… Continue Reading 3D Digital Literacy – Week 8 Character design
3D Digital Literacy – Week 7
The beginning of Assignment 2!! This week we levelled up our modelling skills as we were introduced to sculpting mode on blender. As usual we needed some warmup exercises to experiment with this mode, especially me! We began with creating a rock, a simple, straightforward object. This allowed me to become familiar with the tools,… Continue Reading 3D Digital Literacy – Week 7
Animation Studio – Week 8
As our group’s animation ideas are becoming final, we began to learn about story boarding which will help us correctly layout our visions for our animation pieces. During our teaching section of the class, we went through how to effectively stage characters and layout landscapes, this included the silhouette test, camera movements, framing and storytelling. To… Continue Reading Animation Studio – Week 8
Animation Studio – Week 7 Introduction to Animating
Week 7 was the beginning of learning animation, not surprisingly I was feeling overwhelmed due to me having no animation experience before or no concrete knowledge of how the animation process happens. We began the class with the 12 principles of animation. Which broke down the basic concepts of each principle to broaden our understanding of how… Continue Reading Animation Studio – Week 7 Introduction to Animating
Animation Studio – Week 6 Further World Building
after eliminating different dimensions and focusing on a top 3, I decided I wanted to expand my ideas through Pinterest boards and concept art. at this point we are haven’t decided who will animate which section or dimension so I wanted to get as many ideas as possible for each dimension giving me alternative views… Continue Reading Animation Studio – Week 6 Further World Building
Animation Studio – Week 5 Storyboards
This week we, started to discuss storyboards and reducing the number of dimensions that we needed because I thought that each member having a different dimension would be a lot of unmanageable work which could result in our animation being incomplete or complete but messy looking. So, we began discussing 3 dimensions, that would be… Continue Reading Animation Studio – Week 5 Storyboards
Animation Studio – Week 4 Character Design
Week 4 focused on colour theory!! Yay!! We began with a group exercise involving taking photos of objects we find around the school that express distinct types of colour theory. This included complementary, analogous, and triadic. After taking the photos, we used them as references for colour palettes created with adobe colour wheel. After experimenting… Continue Reading Animation Studio – Week 4 Character Design
