BA Animation
At first I drew on the blobs I could break apart into characteristics easier but then turned the tablet around to see what other angles I could try. In the next activity, I had to switch my approach as all the components were already present. I first drew the silhouettes as the individual shapes to followContinue reading Week 5 Character design
With a new topic at hand, we contemplated the concepts of hue, value and saturation and their complex meanings. In an analysis of the colour wheel we practiced colouring. When choosing to depict the emotion of hope, I imagined a vast sky and open waters. Using a vibrant blue-green hue I coloured the sky lighteningContinue reading Week 4 Colour and Intro to group 3
We started to learn about the cinematographic rules that play a big part in the captivating imagery that can be constructed by following such principles. We then practiced each of them through activities. For the golden ratio composition, I created an open shot view with the algae pointing and stretching towards the city in theContinue reading Week 2 Composition and perspective
For a last step in the module, this project opened my understanding towards not only the new creative freedom with the design of our own characters but also to the academic expectations and standards. However, challenging to maintain progress along the weeks, I was able to schedule proper time for the tasks each week, makingContinue reading Reflection
Once I had applied the textures back to blender’s shader editor, connecting and adding to any necessary nodes, I started the same process to texture the prop with a wooden texture, and as an extra detail, gave it a dirt floor to produce a sort of scene when posing it, tying it all together byContinue reading WEEK 11- Posing and uploading to sketchfab
Once 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
