Author: rodrigues_alves-jOnce the areas where completed, mirrors applied and objects parented, I proceeded to add the checkered texture to start the process of unwrapping the model. During it I noticed the existence of a duplicate pair of hands, not attched, unsure how that happened I was able to simply delete them with no issues. At theContinue reading WEEK 10- Details, Multiresolution modifier and baking maps
coming from the higher polygon sculpting and hard modelling, this felt like a good way to understand both areas as connected tools for this assignment. After finishing the character designs and rendering a final turn-around reference, which allowed me to visualise the idea in the 3d aspect, I now started planning on how to useContinue reading WEEK 9 Constructing a humanoid character
Back onto the designing side, I tried to mix and match as many different shapes and sizes, looking back onto the art book references I took inspiration from Johnathan’s and Murrey’s designs to add more curved areas in contrast with sharp corners, using them to start visualizing the facial structure and the variationContinue reading WEEK 8 Character blocking, further studies
following the in-class activity and later on the support videos on blackboard, I started experimenting with the brushes and sculpting tools provided on the software by trying them o a simple square object, later progressing to the head sculpt. With a crocodile head image as reference I followed the steps of remesh and symmetry settingsContinue reading Week 7- Introduction to Sculpt mode, Artist research
From the beginning of the classes I was extremely excited to get started with the module, as it was something I had never experienced before I expected it to feel overwhelming, but I knew it was part of this new phase of my education. Once we started having direct contact to the software and itsContinue reading Reflection
This project was heavy and really tricky at first, as it was our first try at using substance. My biggest concern at first was the amount of areas open in the software, which to me made it all confusing and overwhelming. Since now the new tab for editing the background was accessible I had aContinue reading Week 5 Introduction to Substance Painter
As we started leaning into texturing and further rendering steps to level up our understanding of Blender, the varied options for the in-class practice was great to settle any doubts that came up, although I usually just followed the tutorials, it was a good opportunity to settle any confusion I had had in previous partsContinue reading Week 4 UV Mapping and Texturing
As always, a tricky start learning with new tools and shortcuts was inevitable, but by now I could already understand how to set up from the basic shapes by myself. By this week I have started sketching objects from shapes to develop my observational skills needed for the 3d module on my free time, anContinue reading Week 3 continuation to modelling
As part of our second week in this module we had our first demonstration in the edit mode and the use of simple modifiers. This weeks activities involved a lot more keyboard shortcuts than the previous so I struggled to remember all at first, the continuous use through the making of both props easing theContinue reading Weeek 2 Intro to 3D Modelling
