I modelled for my assignment for Mike’s module a helmet. I wanted to make a simple helmet design largely inspired by Middle Ages helmets and also stereotypical ones such as those from the video game series Dragon’s Lair. I created the helmet using a sphere, and removed half of the faces, and then created theContinue reading Week 5- Helmet

We used Substance Painter to texture a warhammer. We were taught a new technique during this task, polygon fill. By applying a mask to the fill layer, by selecting certain polygons, we can reveal or hide parts of that layer on our model. I applied several layers and converted some of the layer masks toContinue reading Week 5- Substance Painter

For homework we were tasked to texture a sword of our choice. I decided to model a Dwarven Longsword from Skyrim and then create my own textures in Photoshop for it. Getting the textures right for the hilt was a bit hard, as I marked seams down in a way that made some parts ofContinue reading Week 4- UV Texturing Homework

This day, I participated in more group discussions with my friends, and had a better idea about the type of world we were to create. Our concept was not to have personified versions of the fears we have chosen, and also, we were going to have the lighting odious shades of yellow, and to alsoContinue reading Week 4- Colour Theory and Pallettes

Today we learned a new technique in Blender, assembling UV maps. By unwrapping the original map of the blender model, and also making seams for use in making a new map for the model, we were able to make texture maps for the models we were making. We made a dice by moving the UVContinue reading Week 4- UV Texturing

I modelled in Mike’s Class several different things in Blender. The first was a Milkshake, which involved a lot of different processes, such as bevelling, extrusion, duplication, solidifying, and face deleting in creating it. The milkshake’s body was created with a cylinder whose base was shrunk to serve as the bottom of the cup, andContinue reading Week 3- 3D Modelling

For Mike’s class this week, I modelled a Zubat and animated it flying around in a 3d space. I made use of several different techniques, such as subdivision and mirroring, to create the model, and used a Bezier circle path and constrained the model to follow it around. I created the main body of theContinue reading Week 3- Zubat Modelling

Due to having recently contracted COVID-19, I was forced to work from home for this week. I modelled using several different primitives, such as planes, cubes and cylinders, a TIE Interceptor from Star Wars, and then animated it flying around a set path by setting it to follow the path. Setting up the camera toContinue reading Week 2- TIE Interceptor and Skateboard

Part of the work we did for Week 2 involved creating a snowman out of primitives such as cubes, cylinders and circles. For our homework, we had to animate this snowman doing simple actions, such as lifting his hat and waving. The task introduced us to an invaluable technique called parenting. Simply, we parented theContinue reading Week 1 Homework
