ANIMATION STRATEGIES – 3D ENVIROMENT
WEEK 5-12 Moving on from week 4, I started to model some more objects that could go throughout our room.

This … [Read more…]

It was very strange having class in person for once. We were introduced to our first … [Read more…]
3D DIGITAL LITERACY: SHORT REFLECTION
This cute character assignment was the most difficult project I had done over this year of projects. I had never modelled a character before and had never even looked at Blender. I faced lots of roadblocks during this project, and had to juggle the 30 second animation with it, it was very difficult … [Read more…]
