Finalising my model- Texturing process Below is my model texturing progress in which I did using Substance painter which I thought would be best due to its advanced features and texture options. The texturing itself went reasonably well, however, I did come across some issues during the end of the process. For example, onceContinue reading Week 11/12/13- Texturing my model
Sculpting my model on Blender This week, I decided to get a start on my 3D model and as my Animated Narratives project is coming up soon, I felt that getting the sculpt done on Blender now would be better than later. Getting the sculpting progress out of the way will let me focusContinue reading Week 10 – Retopology
This week, I have started more in-depth plan work towards my model progression. Here, I have included a mood board in which I have gathered a variety of visuals to help me brainstorm further what subject I may choose to indicate the topic of ‘cuteness’. This visual brainstorm has helped me to narrow downContinue reading Week 9 – Sculpting characters
This week in our Digital Literacy class, we were challenged with a more difficult model to sculpt. We were given the task to sculpt a Shiba using metaballs to block out the initial form. In comparison to using regular 3D shapes to do this, I found that using the metaball method is far easier,Continue reading Week 8 – Blocking your characters
This week, we began learning how to use blender as a way to sculpt models. We were given three exercises in order to get acquainted with the program and these props were an apple, pepper and a pear. At first, I struggled to navigate and use Blender’s shortcuts as I have become so usedContinue reading Week 7 – Organic Modeling Intro
Final reflection When I first started this course, I had no idea how to 3D model at all. In comparison to when I started this module, I have learned how to use software such as Maya and Substance Painter to translate my 2D style into 3D form. I feel as though these new skillsContinue reading Week 6 – Portfolio/Final reflection
This week, I began to work on my staff for my final assignment. Overall, this assignment went well and for the most part, I found it easy to create my final model. However, there were a few things that proved challenging whilst I was creating my model. For example, I originally had created separateContinue reading Week 05 – Sketchfab
Below are some concept sketches in which I began imagining a dragon-styled staff. With this idea, I decided that the staff itself could cast spells, but also turn into a dragon on command of the owner. Not only that, but when it isn’t in use, the dragon head and wings tuck themselves in. AContinue reading Week 04 – Texturing
This week, we began looking into UV mapping and were given a zip folder of different scenes we had to experiment with. The first task was the dice which was relatively easy to work with- it was a really simple start to learn the very basics of how UV maps work. Moreover, I foundContinue reading Week 03 – UV Mapping
For this weekly exercise, we were tasked with making a jug/vase model and as I wanted to challenge myself a tad extra, I decided that I would practice with sculpting tools and Mayas built-in paint features. The first model shown here is based on one of my characters called Freki. Generally, I felt as thoughContinue reading Week 02 – Modeling
