Semester 2 – Animation Studies Assignment
✨ Research ✨ In preperation for my Monty rig animations, I went back and refamiliarised myself with the 12 principals of animation, as well as looking over some books such as “Animators Survival Kit”. The last time I looked at these was back during our last semester, so I found it really beneficial toContinue reading Semester 2 – Animation Studies Assignment
Semester 2 – Sword and Shield Modelling Assignment
✨ Design stages ✨ The first thing on my agenda for this assignment was deciding what exactly I wanted to make. After looking over the assignment brief, I was really torn between making a sci-fi door, a wizard staff, or a sword and shield. I knew that a lot of my friends were makingContinue reading Semester 2 – Sword and Shield Modelling Assignment
Semester 2 – Modelling A Table
✨ Modelling A Table ✨ This week, we were tasked with modelling a table, certainly a bit more difficult than modelling a vase! At first I was actually rather overwhelmed by it, as the imaged we were provided weren’t from a fully side on view like Alec reccomended, and I wasn’t entirely sure where toContinue reading Semester 2 – Modelling A Table
Semester 2 – Introduction to Maya
✨ An Informal Intro to Maya ✨ Over Christmas and New Year’s break, I admittedly found coming back to work in 3D more than a little daunting, I downloaded Maya and tried to get to grips with the program myself and was completely overwhelmed by it all. Fortunately enough though, I had a friend whoContinue reading Semester 2 – Introduction to Maya
Semester 1 Week 13 – Final Animation!
✨ Animation! ✨ Drum roll!!! Here’s my animation so far! Unfortunately I didn’t get it finished, I’m honestly pretty disappointed, but I’m proud of how far I got! I’ve never animated something on this scale before, and I’ve never used backgrounds and colours and this much moving parts so I’m really impressed with myself!Continue reading Semester 1 Week 13 – Final Animation!
Semester 1 Week 12 – Animation progress!
✨ Animation Progress ✨ Woo! I finally got lining my animation! Unfortunately, I ran into a BUNCH of complications and I had to start over a looooot. At first I was trying to use the paint brush tool on adobe animate to give my lines a really cool pencil bumpy texture, and it wasContinue reading Semester 1 Week 12 – Animation progress!
Semester 1 Week 11 – More animation!
✨ Rough Animation pass 2 ✨ I didn’t get a lot done this week as I was focussing on my essay and backgrounds, but I did add a few more frames and some animation of Aqua’s ear twitching that I think turned out super awesome!! I still have to add some tweens to makeContinue reading Semester 1 Week 11 – More animation!
Semester 1 Week 10 – Backgrounds ~ Rough Animation
✨ Backgrounds ✨ This week I focused hard on getting my backgrounds done and out of the way, I don’t generally enjoy doing backgrounds so I spent an awful long time on these trying to get them just right! I was working from the inspiration board me and Joseph made in prior weeks forContinue reading Semester 1 Week 10 – Backgrounds ~ Rough Animation
Semester 1 Week 9 – Animatics & Secondary Actions
✨ Animatic Prep ✨ I coloured and lined my turnarounds for Aqua, I’m the only one who really needs them but they were super useful to keep everything consistent when I began sketching out my storyboards a little cleaner for the animatic. A piece of advice I recieved during class was to helpContinue reading Semester 1 Week 9 – Animatics & Secondary Actions
