For this unit I found it a lot easier than the last character creation unit I found in my first year which is good to see, and I did feel that a lot of the exercise and model process did become a lot easier in the process. For my creature I did enjoy the consentingContinue reading Reflection _ Creature creation

This was the last week of advice before the Christmas holidays so, it was vital that I got everything set in stone before continuing on with my work. For the weight lift all of the feedback was positive with only a few things being mention with them being mostly polishing like keeping the charter ion the middle of theContinue reading week-12 polish the timing
Known issues Now that the deadline is fast approaching, I really need to kick it into gear with my creature. I did have a few problems to fix though with the first one being why the bib s textures were getting these big black splurges on them and why the fiber mesh texture wasn’tContinue reading week-12 testing textures
For this week we were really getting into our animations due to Christmas coming up so, for any of the tasks it was just a brief look at the shift E command in blender and how that can intern help lock pacific key frames down so that the legs so that there no jumping around and or constant movements. This isa problem due to the constant and Bezier channels because as were in the blocking phaseContinue reading week-11 blocking/polish
For this week we really got into fishing our creatures and finalising our blocking for our final piece. For this the tutor went over some key things we could do after we got the rendered shot such as using photoshop to edit and paint over some details as that’s how most game concept artists would do their work in the actual pipeline. Typically, this would be in the visual blue print stage of the projectContinue reading week-11 texturing
This week we were really getting into the idea of acting and the fundamentals of good lip sync. This involved us looking at our vowels and breaking down the shapes; our mouths take to create phonemes, for example, our mouths take this small circle shape like you are about to whistle or kiss someone. We did have some good references like Richard Williams one in the survival kit. The idea behind this to break down the jaws movements to create these phonemes as even though our lips do a lot of the movement jaw does an equal amount inContinue reading week-10 perfomance
There was not a task for us to complete, but this meant we would continue with our creature’s designs and start to work out how we want to pose and block out our shot of the creature. For this I took some of my composition research from my animation strategies project to help work out which spot in the old water mills would work best for my creature. For this I had to think about what emotion and purpose my creature gives offContinue reading week – 10 blocking
For my weightlifting progress, it is coming together but there is still a lot to do before it can be presentable, which is my main goal for now. For the changes I have made, I finish blocking in all the key poses and get helpful feedback on them. This feedback centered around the composition and timingContinue reading week – 9 acting
For this week we were looking at how to implement dynamic lighting within unreal engines by using the lumen feature within unreal and how to bring in some different light paths from the IES library. This was all to replicate a scene which henry gave us of a kitchen, and we were to not oneContinue reading week – 9 lighting
