For this we were looking at adding details and further exploration of the z Brush software along with pushing our blocks in to the final stage before we start retopologies them. The first task was to use the masking tool to create and extract pieces of a human model to create cloths and or armor.Continue reading week 4-sculpting
For my basic walk I put in the final changes that were mentioned I looked at which centred around the scarf. From the last time I shorted it, so the wave is a lot of tighter but, that ended up sending the end of the scarf into a flickering mess. So, I foundContinue reading week – 3 walk with personality
Muscles and blocking For this week it was all about the blocking process and how to go from primitive shapes to these mad crazy detailed characters. This is an extremely complicated and opination stage of the modelling process because according to Isaque Criscuolo post it can be very time consuming and by blocking out aContinue reading week 3 – preproduction blocking
overview This week we were to put into practice what we learned about making a basic walk cycle. The choice was simple either use blender and the rain rig to make this walk or use the improved walk template make by Aodhan to create a walk cycle in 2D. We also had a brief runContinue reading week 2- constructing a walk

walk cycle into After we watched the two lectures, I decided to do some research into some tips on how to go about doing a walk cycle in 3D or 2D. Some of the point of which I found was how there was always a leading for e within a walk for example, if theContinue reading week 1 animation strategies
Idea generation For this week it is more of a research week to decide on what creature and or world we would like to create. This would involve a few things one the creature would have to match the world of choices; this would mean either taking the actual anatomy of a creature and theContinue reading week 1 pre-production: Refercene and idea generation
Animated narrative / film reflection For the start of the project. It was good; we got to know the new team members and we took a long time to get around to ideas. I think this did come down to not knowing everyone, so the ideas did take soem time to actually get off theContinue reading animated narratives/film reflection
Now we’re onto the compositing stage of the project where we edit and stich all of our footage together to see how it looks and to ultimately get it over the finishing line. This also involves the sound which is being handled by my team mate Michael and I’m handling the final edit it, soContinue reading post-production compositing

The advice to fix this was to have more static cameras which would help us give more focus to what’s going on in the scene. The other thingContinue reading per- production Final previzual
