3D Digital Lit. – Intro Sculpting and Retopology
Trying to sculpt an Apple and Pear. This was our first introduction to sculpting that Henry gave us. We were to try sculpting these fruit ourselves to get a bit more familiar with Blender and it’s tools, I had a lot of fun trying to replicate the imperfections and asymmetry of the apple and pear.

3D Digital Lit. Assignment 2 – Development of Cute Character
For this assignment I had an idea to either pick an unused concept from the animation assignment or create a new concept. I had a discussion with Henry about the options and he felt either way could work, just as long as I’m showing enough sculpting block outs and refinement in my sculpt. […]
YR 1 Semester 2 – 3D Digital Lit. Assignment 1 Reflection
Personally this assignment felt difficult and a lot of times I felt impostor syndrome and self confidence hinder my work. But it has been very rewarding to see the outcome of determination. Overall I’m really pleased with what I have accomplished, it took a lot of long working days but I think it paid off. […]
3D Literacy – Progression of Assignment 1 – Model
Originally I had concepted 3 different staffs, with some feedback I ended up choosing the more divine style. I tried to come up with an original idea that what I thought at the time, was achievable in creating detail and good representation of modelling methods and tools. Although in the end I ended coming […]

Following the tutorial and using an example piece, at the start we still playing around in Substance before bringing to Sketchfab. This class I made my watercan pink and […]
Week 4 – 3D Digital Lit – Learning Substance Painter
During week 4 we were introduced to Substance Painter. We were also shown how to export as an FBX from Maya and import to Substance, adjusting the resolution and why it’s best to stick around 2048, as well as shown the interface and how to set up basic layers with masks. Substance was a lot […]
Week 3 – 3D Digital Lit – Texturing and 3D Mapping
During this weeks class we learned how to UV unwrap and texture in Maya. Immediately I wasn’t a huge fan, but it was easy enough to follow the steps in class with some help from the lecturers. For this weeks homework I did the Interceptor – Mainly I used the extrude tool to […]
Week 2 – 3D Digital Lit – Intro to Modelling Tools
This week we were introduced to Maya and some of the main tools within it. During the class we attempted to make a milkshake. Still pretty new to maya so I struggled a bit, and decided to rewatch and work on it more after the class. I followed Mike’s tutorial on blackboard! We were […]
