Author: savage-c17CHARACTER DESIGN/RESEARCH For our second assignment of the semester, we’ve been asked to design and model a character that fits the style of one of the shows listed for us to choose from. Although I’m a huge fan of Gravity Falls and a casual fan of Steven Universe, I feel going with an AdventureContinue reading Semester 2- 3D Character Development
By far, one of my most favourite things to do when designing a world is to design the characters and there is no better website to use for such a task than Pinterest. I was able to find so many references I would never have found from an average google search through the website andContinue reading Week 5- Character Design
As I was away on a family trip, I wasn’t in class for any of the group discussion about colour palettes so instead, I created my own based on the reference I was using for the shed. I would’ve used a colour palette from the group chat but I didn’t really think they fit theContinue reading Week 4- Colour Palettes
FROM HERE TO WEEK 5 I WAS OUT OF THE COUNTRY/SICK AS SOON AS I GOT HOME :o( Upon returning from my trip, I reflected on what I had missed and started with week 3 just so I could work in chronological order. For week 3 and beyond, I was now part of TeamContinue reading Week 3- Tone and Value
For this week, we focused on the principles of composition and perspective, something I’ve struggled with for years when it comes to my personal art. It tends to be the reason I have a lean towards 3D artwork/animations because I don’t have to worry about the stress of figuring out how to draw a characterContinue reading Week 2- Composition and Perspective
As our introduction to Animation Studio, we were divided into groups and tasked with exploring the university to find objects that fit a list of prompts we were given, some of which include “a colourful object”, “animation”, “mystery item”, “pets” and “recreate a meme” . Although I was nervous at first, I found myself chattingContinue reading Week 1- Shape and Form
FINAL RENDERS/ANIMATIONS SCREENSHOTS TEXTURES
Although I went into this course with existing knowledge of Blender, having made multiple personal projects with it in the span of the last year, I feel I’ve learnt an awful lot about Blender in the span of 5 weeks. I’ve learnt more about the tools Blender gives you to bevel edges, to inset facesContinue reading Week 6- Self Reflection
As our final assignment, we were set to model a helmet of our choosing, whether that be a design from a game or a design of our own. I would’ve made a design of my own if I had more time but, knowing myself, I would’ve spent way too long on it. Also, having theContinue reading Week 5- Helldivers 2 Hellbent Helmet
This week we focused on learning the fundamentals of UVs in Blender in preparation for our homework task, that being to model a sword of our choosing using the techniques and methods we’ve been taught so far. Unlike other weeks, we only had one classwork task and that involved UVing three objects within the sameContinue reading Week 4- The Roaring Knight’s Sword
