Cute Character Assignment: Initial Reference & Research

Researching some other character models and concepts from looking at other artist work on Sketchfab. I made two collections to group together models that I thought would be helpful to use as inspiration for my own project. I have a stylised collection which gathers texture work that I enjoy and I want to try toContinue reading Cute Character Assignment: Initial Reference & Research

Assignment 1: 3D Digital Literacy Progress 5

Project Support/Studies Advice I had an issue where there was a white line between two UV shells on the display base part of the model. I thought this was a texel density issue, but wasn’t overly worried about it since in some Sketchfab test uploads it wasn’t that noticeable. I asked Henry about it anywayContinue reading Assignment 1: 3D Digital Literacy Progress 5

Assignment 1: 3D Digital Literacy Progress 4

Yayyy Blender 🎉 I have very, very little experience in this program compared to Maya and zero experience with sculpting too, so this will be a interesting learning challenge. I’m mostly going to do hard surface sculpting because I’ve seen cool results from other 3D artists in the past and now I have a goodContinue reading Assignment 1: 3D Digital Literacy Progress 4

Assignment 1: 3D Digital Literacy Progress 2

I started manually placing roof tiles and realised I was likely wasting time doing this and thought there must be another way. So I made a new save iteration and tried using Mash networks like we used in Alec’s cactus tutorial for Animated Narratives. I was going through this video until I got to changingContinue reading Assignment 1: 3D Digital Literacy Progress 2

Concept Windmill Bakery For my model concept, I knew I wanted a mini 3D scene or a diorama type model. As I was drawing the concept, I wanted the windmill to have some sort of story or personality. My first variation of the concept (left) is closer to a standard windmill design, it does haveContinue reading Assignment 1: 3D Digital Literacy Progress 1

Week 1 – Modelling Challenge HW

For this week, we were given 5 different objects to practice our modelling skills on. These were: Table & Chairs Vase Martini Glass Armchair Mimic Armchair   fixed rotation of table leg uvs + changed specular+roughness values of chair wood material   https://polyhaven.com/a/wood_table_001 https://polyhaven.com/a/christmas_photo_studio_01 https://docs.arnoldrenderer.com/display/A5AFMUG/Removing+Noise https://www.linkedin.com/learning/maya-advanced-modeling    

Hard Surface Modelling Assignment: Initial Research & Reference

I made a collection of models on Sketchfab that have an overall stylised aesthetic, texturing style and model presentation that I would like to try to emulate in this assignment. I’m thinking of creating a 3D scene that contains both the windmill and well prompts, in addition to other environmental objects. As my initial researchContinue reading Hard Surface Modelling Assignment: Initial Research & Reference
