This week, we were introduced to our next assignment. Our new assignment is titled “Assignment 2 – Intro to organic modelling”. For this assignment we are tasked with coming up with an idea for a cute character to model/sculpt, texture and present via sketchfab. There were two rules however to take into consideration. We aren’t allowed to add fur or hair, only hair that has been modelled onto the character is allowed. The second rule is that the model must not exceed 40,000 polygons. For the next week my plan is to research ideas for my character and come up with a few character concepts to show in my next class.
Aside from this, in class we were also introduced to the basics of Blender. We would be using blender as well for the modelling of these characters. It was just a introductory exercise on modeling a simple alien character in class, with guidance from Henry. I found it a bit different from Maya and I feel like I would need to have more practice just getting my head around the basics and the shortcuts in blender. I plan to watch any blender tutorials uploaded to blackboard within the next day or two.
