Just another Ulster University Sites site
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
Today we had a quest who actually did his course at Ulster back in 2014, Paul McGra, who works in 16 south studios and actually worked on his own show, Bee and Ladybird. and actually also worked on Happy the Hedgehog, a property by Paper Owl Studios which I actually tried to apply for asContinue reading Week 11- Duik in After Efects, Cel Action and Others
Today in Mike’s Module we learned about Rigging with a preretopogised character he made a few years back. We first create an armature bone and position it between the chest and pelvis area of the model, and then extrude ot extra bones and then position them into the various places of the model, such asContinue reading Week 11- Rigging
We did more exercises on flour bags with secondary animation today. Alec asked us to animate a secondary animation on a premade animation of a flour bag. I drew some hair on my own flour bag and animated it being pulled by inertia and gravity as the bag jumped in the air in the exercise.Continue reading Week 10- Seconday animation test and Animatic Work
Today we learned about how to add minute details to our models without raising the polygon count to machine breaking levels, By using a tool known as the Multi Res modifier, we can create maps what add details to a model without making the polygon count too large for our machines to handle. First, weContinue reading Week 10- Multi-res levels and detail adding
I decided to do more work on the sculpt of my asanbosam character. I created the limbs using several modified cylinders and spheres, and then used cylinders with added centre vertices to create the pointed fingers of the character. When it came to sculpting, I used the clay build up and strip tools for theContinue reading Week 9- Sculpting
With the strike that Alec, my tutor participated in going on today, I worked from home, like yesterday. When it comes to making an animatic, I have to think about the layout of the shot Secondary actions rely on timing and must be independently animated from the main action. If a secondary action dominates overContinue reading Week 9- Animatics and Secondary action.
Today we were taught a way to make modelling easier- Retopology. Retopology makes low polygon models that are easier to animate and model than the original meshes they were based on. A way to aid topologizing a model is to use the polygon fill tool, which involves taking an edge of a place and automaticallyContinue reading Week 9- Topology
We learned about storyboarding in Sarah’s module. One of the techniques in storyboarding we learned about was to make camera shots as dynamic as possible, but we also have to take caution to avoid shots that are too complicated for 2D animations, as they can take focus away from the story. A good story willContinue reading Week 8- Storyboarding and Flour Bag Animation Test
