This assignment really tested me, more than anything last year and more than our Animation Strategies module. I feel like I’ve come out of this module with a far better understanding and appreciation for the 3D pipeline. I especially enjoyed learning Zbrush. I had my reservations about learning Zbrush because I thought I would reallyContinue reading Reflection
I was absolutely dreading Unreal Engine; I thought it would be the most difficult thing I’ve done so far because in class I found it really difficult to follow along with the tasks, but I gave it another go for the first time in a while, and it was not as difficult as I hadContinue reading Unreal engine
Retopology My retopology was a nightmare. I had brought my high-res model into blender and started retopologising I was chugging along in it because it was much more difficult than I originally imagined because of the spikes along his body. I had dynameshed it all together instead of keeping the spikes separate and retopologizing themContinue reading retopology, rigging & texturing
Coming away from my initial blocking, I decided to give it another go because I wasn’t pleased with it and felt like I could push it a bit more. At this point, there were 4 weeks and 5 days until the deadline, so I was hoping that reblocking and sculpting would not take too longContinue reading Blocking & Sculpting
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
