At the start of this assignment, I was quite unfamiliar with the concept of modeling a character, let alone sculpting it, and was quite unsure what to think of it. When we were told that we would be designing, sculpting and posing our character I got very excited and was very enthusiastic to start at […]

This week was our last week before Christmas, and by far the busiest week I’ve had. I managed to finfish up my character and get him into substance. Although I encountered some issues, I was able to get around them and really bring the Squid to life. I finished up the last of his outfit […]

CLASS: Week 11 was our final week of classes with our lecturer, and so we had our last in-class workshop, which was learning how to rig a character and pose it, even build the skeleton or the model. This last 3D class workshop for this module was a very good last set of advice for […]

Week 10 was an interesting week, not too much happened this week as I wanted to focus on just making the body of the squid and getting is as accurate as possible. To start off the week, we looked into what a multiresolution modifier is, and how it is basically the gateway into being able […]

Week 9 was a very interesting week and overall exciting, it was the beginning of building our character and bringing it to life up from the designs and concepts we did last week. We started learning about topology, which at first I didn’t fully understand and honestly I thought I wouldn’t, but after some explanation […]

This week is 8 weeks, already so far into the course! This was another very fun week as it has been the start of our character design process, which is one of my favorite aspects of animation. CLASSWORK: This week, our lecturer introduced us to character blocking, a concept I’m quite new with but am […]

IN CLASS-WORKSHOP: This week was the start of our sculpting journey with blender, we were introduced to the concept of sculpting with this software, and how to go about it in an understandable way. We were shown many methods by our lecturer, following an in-class workshop. Although we were given this exercise, this week was […]

Overall, I feel that this assignment has had a significant improvement on my 3D skills compared to when I first started. When I began the course at the start of the year, I was feeling quite nervous as I wasn’t so sure if I was completely ready, but I knew that I would pick up […]

Week 5 was our final week, and the biggest assignment we’ve been given yet! IN CLASS This week we were given one class assignment which looked into texturing on Adobe Substance Painter. This exercise was very interesting to do, giving an insight into a higher quality software that I had never seen before. At the […]

Compared to the past 3 weeks of projects we’ve been doing, this week was an introduction into UV mapping and and how to unwrap a 3D model. IN CLASS For this weeks in class exercises, we were given the task of UV mapping a coke can, a dice and a hammer. These exercises were a […]
