Author: finn-l53D At the start of this tutorial, we had a warm-up to make more sense of the graph editor, and I found it really, really helped me to understand how to use it, what the different settings on it mean, what their effects are, and how to utilise it. Doing this really helped meContinue reading Run Cycles
Our first objective of this assignment was to create a walk cycle, so we practiced this in class in 3D and 2D. For the 3D session of our tutorial, I found it difficult, especially the section where we had to use the graph editor, which will be a recurrent theme in a few of theseContinue reading Walk Cycles
So at this stage of character development, I started a really rough blockout of my minotaur to get the general shape and just to get a better grasp on the Z brush. I was aiming to make something like the blockout we did for our general quadraped just to get my general shapes outlined. IContinue reading Blocking
For this week I brought in the designs of my different creatures, and after receiving Henry’s feedback, I decided to go with the minotaur as the character I’m going to design; however, after receiving feedback I made some changes to my design. (The design I showed) Henry gave me the following critiques: My minotaurContinue reading Improving design
I wanted to create a few different creatures to have a few to pick from for my finalised creature; however, I found the actual process of creating these creatures difficult. For both my creatures, I considered what environments they would live in and what features they would have to increase their chances of survival. TheContinue reading Concepts

Overall, I think this project went the best it could have given the experience and knowledge I had at the time. However, now that I have worked on this project, I know different ways I could go about it. If I were to start this assignment over again, the first thing I would do wouldContinue reading Reflection
Sound Marnie and I handled post-production for the group; I focused on sound composition and gathering for the film. I used Pixabay for all of my sound and music gathering, as it’s a website that focuses on royalty free sound, music, animations, and images. I did most of my editing in CapCut, as that’sContinue reading Post-Production Blog
Modeling I was initially really optimistic and excited about beginning the modelling process. I had two main references for my model, which were Marines’ catshark design and a photo of a catshark. I tried to keep my model as close to Marnies design as possible, so whenever I was hard modelling my character, IContinue reading Production Blog
For this part of our module, I was in the American Animation group, and after a group discussion, we decided to do our research on Cartoon Network and its different offshoots. I chose to research Adult Swim as I have always been interested in adult-centric animation, and it’s the section of the industry I wouldContinue reading Reflective Blog – Cartoon Network
