We discussed what previs models we should do in time for our 3d previs presentation, and I was assigned to do the bookshelf, a simple version of my character, and a lamp. So I modelled these three things and tested out some lighting effects. I inserted some lights into lamp parts of the models IContinue reading Week 5- Previs modelling
I created a model of my first design for my ghost character. I extruded out tail fin and head crests and modified cylinders to create the model, and then I later reverse engineered a simple version of the character for 3D previs.
I worked on some character designs for the ghosts in a haunted house concept for our group project. Looking at fictional characters such as Hong Hakka, Kuchisake-onna and Kunimitsu, I was able to create three different designs. In addition, I returned to my first concept and drew an A-pose to work on a future modelContinue reading Week 3- Character designs
Animation is all about timing and spacing, and we can apply knowledge of frame by frame animation, a skill we learned when we did 2D animation least semester, to 3D animation. The computer is stupid. It isn’t the animator, we as the human tell the software where to move the object in regards to spaceContinue reading Week 2- 3D animation in Blender
We presented our PowerPoint presentation before our class today, using this PowerPoint: Ghost Idea – Google Slides When the teacher assessed our presentation, he commented on how the plot for our initial storyboard was way too short, and said we should expand on the concept a bit. The beginning and ending were regarded as fine,Continue reading Week 3- Style Presentation and Feedback
Today we learned about how filmmaking relies on 4 pillars when it comes to making a good film: Cinematography Shot composition Movement Blocking (or pose) Lighting Mise-en-scene Everythign in the frame Props, costumes, environment, etc Sound Digetic (character lines, important info) Non-digetic (Music, background noises, etc) Editing classical continuity Montage All four work in tandem.Continue reading Week 1- Emotive Language
I worked more on the 3D project with my group members we were set to do. Our chosen story would be based on ghosts in a haunted house, who while exploring their home find a box of which they would open up and be consequently sucked into. We created a moodboard using ghost characters fromContinue reading Week 2- 3D Project Development
We were told by our teacher to create a 30 second animation in Blender with others in a group. I was grouped in with Sean, Cor, Chika and Shane to work on this project. The first thing we needed to do was think up a story for our idea. the theme for our project hadContinue reading Week 1- Concept for 3D production
I had very little time to complete my assignment for Mike’s module due to procrastination and persistent focusing on other modules. Over the course of a single day, I set to work on multi-resing, texturing, rigging, and posing my Asanbosam character. Before I started modelling my asanbosam character, I had to conceptualise her first. SheContinue reading 3D Digital Literacy- Asanbosam development and Reflection
Working on my project in Sarah’s module had a lot of really interesting topics on offer for me to learn from, and overall I had a lot of fun with it. It was fun planning out my storyboard and then creating an animatic out of the shots I created for it, and it was alsoContinue reading Animation Studio- Reflection
