Animation Strategies – Reflection
In this assignment we were tasked with animating a walk cycle, run cycle, walk with personality cycle, and a run and jump. In order to do this we needed to gather references and research the mechanics of movement. In this blog post I will be addressing each animation I made and talking about the aforementionedContinue reading Animation Strategies – Reflection

PREVIS: (I ONLY DID AUDIO) MY PART OF THE ANIMATION (Was slowed down in the final edit) FINAL
Animated Narratives – Reflective Blog
In this project we were asked to explore the theme of ‘journey’ through a 3D animation. I was placed within a team consisting of four people, Aaron, Rebecca, Niamh, and myself. Once we had been placed we tried to come up with a story to tell. We used multiple tools at our disposal, but ultimatelyContinue reading Animated Narratives – Reflective Blog
World of Animation – Research poster on Japan – Reflective Blog
I chose ‘Japan’ for my focus on this research poster as I felt more drawn to it. Whilst I don’t consume a lot of Japanese animation anymore, it was a large part of my life growing up. Initially, I was assigned to work on ‘Experimentation’ in Japanese animation (1985 – 1999), however after a fewContinue reading World of Animation – Research poster on Japan – Reflective Blog

The purpose of the groups was to work together to analyse a short film and break down its core components (camera, story, audio, etc.) in a digestible way via presentation. The portion of theContinue reading World of Animation – ‘Winner’ -Reflective Blog
3D Digital Literacy – 200 Word Reflection
Overall, I am very proud of this project despite the troubles I faced along the way. In these past few weeks, I have doubled my knowledge of Blender. Towards the start, I decided to change my design from a simple creature to a humanoid demon. There was a point throughout the process where I hadContinue reading 3D Digital Literacy – 200 Word Reflection
3D Digital Literacy – Week 11 – Posing The Character And Exporting To Sketchfab
UV wrapping took a lot of my time, as it is the thing I struggled with the most in the previous assignments. But after finding a tutorial online, and adjusting certain seams to fit my mesh I came to a very desirable result. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8vZraSY3ZE&ab_channel=CGCookie After baking the Normal map and the Ambient Occlusion, I thenContinue reading 3D Digital Literacy – Week 11 – Posing The Character And Exporting To Sketchfab
3D Digital Literacy – Week 10 – Adding Detail And Baking With Normal Maps
I had started to add the hair to my model and ran into a corruption issue, that set back my work by 2 days. Despite this, I pressed on and managed to redo the hair. The hair itself was very demoralising, as I went in blind and tried to get what I achieved through myContinue reading 3D Digital Literacy – Week 10 – Adding Detail And Baking With Normal Maps
3D Digital Literacy – Week 9 – Constructing a Humanoid with Good Topology
Following the tutorials given on Blackboard, I started working on a new base mesh for my character. I struggled at first, having to go between the video and blender constantly, but eventually got the hang of it. I really liked this part of the construction, as it’s very quick to show the progress you areContinue reading 3D Digital Literacy – Week 9 – Constructing a Humanoid with Good Topology
