This assignment was tough, especially toward the end. But the entire way through I knew I was enjoying it a lot, and I do enjoy the pipeline of creating an animation. Working with a group for 3D animation compared to the 2D is much more difficult, I felt there was a bigger chance to hold […]

3D Digital Lit. Assignment 2 – Self Reflection
I was really looking forward to learning sculpting this semester, it’s an impressive skill I always wanted to try and get familiar with but I was a little weary to start it. I was glad we got some creative freedom with this assignment, there was a lot of ideas I had but as usual I […]
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. […]
Animated Narratives – Lighting
This week we were shown how to use Maya lights and Arnold lights. We watched Mikes tutorial both in class and pre-recorded. I tried to create a quick lighting test using three point lighting which our characters will need to have set up. I had some trouble t=with maya crashes while lighting for some reason […]
Animated Narratives – Class Animation Exercises
During the weeks we got to try some 3D animation with Alec helping us out and uploading tutorials on blackboard. Using Maya from a modelling tool to then use it as an animation tool is such a strange that it took me a good while to try and get used to it. I really enjoy […]

Unused story concepts: Monster plant shop Rootin tootin venom shootin In my groups Graveyard animation, we have in total 5 characters. Three larger characters, a small character […]
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 […]
