In Mike’s Module we practiced preparing a character for sculpting. I blocked out my practice character using several different primitives, such as spheres, a cube with subdivision surface applied, cylinders and cones. I then attempted to remesh the model, but I put the number of pixels for remeshing so small that it ended up crashingContinue reading Week 8- Sculpting
For our homework in Sarah’s module we animated balls of different sizes and weights in Krita. I found Krita rather easy to use, owing it to my prior knowledge in Adobe Animate. Learning about timing and spacing our key frames, I learned that spacing out the keyframes can make an animation go slower, and keepingContinue reading Week 7- Ball animations
This week for Mike’s Module I had to do research on Genndy Tartakovsky as well as draw out some designs for a hypothetical character in his artstyle who would appear in Hotel Transylvania. Gennedy Tartokovsky is an award winning animation visionary director and a legendary name in the modern day animation industry, known for creatingContinue reading Week 7- Genndy Tartakovsky
I discussed with my group members about what we were to do with our project. Each of us were to do 8 seconds of an animation that was to be at least a minute long. Scott was to direct and animate the opening, Luca, Cate, Matt, Emma and I were to do the middle parts,Continue reading Week 7- Character Development
Blender Animation Portfolio – YouTube Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4 Week 5 Before I started at the University, I had very little knowledge on Blender, though I did have experience using Maya to animate and rig models, but that knowledge had since become dormant and lost in places. In addition,Continue reading 3D Digital Literacy- Completed Models, Textures and Animations
Before I started at the University, I had very little knowledge on Blender, though I did have experience using Maya to animate and rig models, but that knowledge had since become dormant and lost in places. In addition, I had not made 3D animated content in Blender before. Now, I have learned a lot fromContinue reading 3D Digital Literacy- Reflection
I discussed with the rest of my group more on our idea for the battle in the backrooms. For example, it was decided that the phobia subplot was scrapped, and we simply would have our characters fight other bands using their instruments as weapons. It was decided that, since my character was a guitarist, sheContinue reading Week 5- Character Development
Today’s class involved learning about certain techniques that come with making the design of a character more memorable. by using premade blobs, I created some character concepts and designs. We then created characters using techniques involving basic shapes. We were tasked to create characters based on the forms of famous people, such as Marilyn Monroe,Continue reading Week 5- Character Design Shapes
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
