FIRST YEAR REFLECTION I have loved my previous year in this course. I was so nervous coming into it, I didn’t have a good experience last year in my previous course at Queen’s, and I was so worried that this would be the same. I was very shy coming in at the start of the […]
Ghost Problem! Portfolio
My designs My first storyboard My first previs My models My sets My animation Final Animation
Poster!
Poster Presentation! Cartoon Network. I picked American animation because it’s a type of media that I consume frequently, particularly Cartoon Network because a lot of their cartoons are nostalgic for me, and a few I still watch from time to time. Initially I wasn’t sure what exactly I’d like to cover, but after speaking […]
World of Animation Group Presentation- Reflection.
My group- group 7, consisting of Amy Chen, Ray Hegarty, Erin Reid and I- was tasked to create a presentation on the animated short film “Flyworm,” made by 3D artist and animator Nui Naruphon. We divided up our roles by the different suggested categories and each took one or two that we wanted to […]
Making my Monster- Reflection.
Overall, I am happy with what I have made. I think I generally did a good job with building my character, I think I’m taking to the technical aspects of blender quite well. I went from having a very loose idea on how I would go about creating a character with good topology, and no […]
Making my Monster- Final Stretch!
Posing Adding bones to her was very easy! I again just followed the videos, and it was done super fast. I had to go back a few times and add more when certain things weren’t moving quite right, like when she moved her head, her teeth and earrings were left behind. Her arms and dress […]
Making my Monster- Texturing
UVs Part One Here is where I began to run into issues. I’m not sure what I did wrong at this stage, but it may have been that I marked the seams before projecting the UVs on to the plane I created behind my model, which I will elaborate on later. I wasn’t sure if […]
Making my Monster- Building
The Head I built the head in class, following the tutorial on Blackboard. When I did this, I still hadn’t settled on a character that I wanted to make. So, I just built a head. I was set on the idea of simply building the body all the way through and then just shaping it […]
Making my Monster- Design
Genndy Tartakovsky The first stage of this assignment, designing the model we would be making. Specifically based off of the art style of Genndy Tartakovsky, a style defined by exaggerated characteristics and distinct shapes. He very much uses clear shape language in his designs, with powerful and strong characters being more square as is seen […]
Making My Monster.
The Vampire Model. I’m going to deviate from the format my blog has followed thus far and document my entire process for this task in four posts as honestly, for this assignment I didn’t really stick to a week by week work schedule. The weeks over which we worked on this were pretty hectic for […]
