Week 11 – Editing

Adobe After Effects We were supplied with a Live action video along with some texture files to play around with in After Effects. I added light Rays coming through the window and tried to animate the light moving.

Week 10 – Lighting

This week we focused on finalising the lighting within our scenes. We were given a  blender file to experiment with lighting to create shadows and reflections. For our Environment, Nicolle and I worked on creating emissive screens for the arcade machines. We added the images as textures then added emission to them so they wouldContinue reading Week 10 – Lighting

Week 8 – Rigging with Armatures

Rigging with Armatures In this Task we were shown how to apply bones to certain parts of meshes instead of using automatic weights, which would usually be used for a more human character or animal. Applying certain meshes to different bones allows it to move more like a robot. once we applied our bones, weContinue reading Week 8 – Rigging with Armatures

Week 6 – Environment Updates

  I added some final touches to props that had already been created like this coin pusher. I added emission to the back panels and added some gold coins (money) for inside. Our group spoke about adding some kind of blinking lights or animations to the arcade machines. I done some research and found thisContinue reading Week 6 – Environment Updates

Week 5 – Model Updates

Extra character hands My POV shot looked slightly underwhelming so I created a set of hands to add into this scene so that they could interact with some of the arcade machines to give the idea that a person is walking around playing arcade games. 3D hand References: I really like the Disney style handsContinue reading Week 5 – Model Updates

Class Previs Tasks In class we were given blender files and shown video examples on how to complete these previs’s.
