This week I had researched many ideas and visual references to help me design my character. I had come up with three ideas, a Llama, a baby penguin on ice and a small dinosaur similar to Godzilla, stamping between buildings. Out of the three I decided upon the dinosaur idea. I chose this because IContinue reading Digital Literacy Week 8 – Character concepts for Assignment 2/ early blocking on Blender
For this week our group agreed upon having more coloured concepts to share with each other. I had done more concepts of the swordfish and the shark with added colour. I made an adjustment with the swordfish, instead of the arms, I added just the fins to help keep it simple for modelling when thatContinue reading Animated Narratives Week 7 – More concepts and rigging tutorials in class
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’tContinue reading Digital Literacy Week 7 – Assignment 2 brief – Intro to organic modelling
This week everyone was mainly preoccupied with the Digital Literacy assignment, including me. There was no class on this week, just one-to-one support meetings with our lecturers. I had my meeting and it went smoothly, there were no problems or issues to be brought up and then I just continued on with my Digital LiteracyContinue reading Animated Narratives Week 6 – Studies advice
Upon reflection of this Assignment I would say that overall it was a positive experience. I feel like I have made a significant improvement in my 3D modeling ability compared to week one of this semester. I was always a bit hesitant about 3D modeling, but from following all the tutorials and doing all theContinue reading Digital Literacy Week 6 – Assignment 1 Reflection on Old Well
After I finished applying all the textures and materials to my old well on substance painter, I then exported all the textures to sketchfab, where I would also import my 3D well asset into. In sketchfab I applied all my substance textures to the model. I had a little difficulty at first with the brickContinue reading Digital Literacy Week 6 – Sketchfab upload and link
After I had textured the brick well on another save file, I began to texture the upper section of my well. For the wooden structure I added a rough wood material and changed the scale. I changed the scale so that the wood grain could be seen better and to make it an appropriate sizeContinue reading Digital Literacy Week 6 – Substance painter on upper well structure
My next step, after the completion of the UV mapping was to import the model into substance painter. This was my favorite part as I enjoy using substance painter, and it always amazes me how it can make models look so realistic and stylized, depending on the UV work. I brought the well into substanceContinue reading Digital Literacy Week 6 – Substance painter on the brick well
Since last blog post I have finished the model of my well. I had initially modeled the individual bricks for the base of the well. I group the bricks into two sections and added a Lambert material to them. However in class, my lecturer had given me some advice as to why it wasn’t suchContinue reading Digital Literacy Week 6 – Finished Model and UV Mapping
Week 5 was to be the week of our group pre-production presentations, where we present to the class our designs, final idea and storyboards for our ideas. This week I spent time working on the storyboards for my vision of the story. Other members of my group also made their versions of storyboards. We wereContinue reading Animated Narratives Week 5 – Storyboards and pre-production presentations
