This week, we focused on character design! Specifically, making character turnarounds, working on their expressions and a few bits of groupwork as it was our final week of groupwork before we could pick our own teams! The first exercise we done was to make a character reference sheet. I chose my mouse character that […]

Week 1 – 5 Completed Models – 200 word reflection
This module so far has taught me a lot – coming into it with no experience doing anything 3D, I feel very proud of myself with how far I have come. I’ve done a lot of things that I didn’t think I would be able to do! At the start, I found modelling difficult to […]
Week 5 // Substance Painter – Helmet
This week we learnt about Substance Painter! After I loaded it up, it all looked very overwhelming so I was a little worried about whether or not I’d find it difficult to texture any models. After a while and through watching the videos, I felt a lot more reassured and I found it a lot […]
Week 4 // Colour
This week we began learning colour! Colour was something I was super nervous to learn about as I felt like it’s so difficult to understand and put into practice unless you have experience. Watching the videos and listening to Sarah in class eased me A LOT. It made it a lot easier for me to […]
Week 4 // UV Mapping & Texturing
Week 4, we learnt about UV mapping and texturing. When it was introduced, I really wanted to learn about it but I thought it was going to be super hard and I would struggle to do it but the exercises we done in class were really fun and it was a lot easier than I […]
Week 3 // Tone and Value
In class this week, our first exercise was picking a prop from our world and using tone and value to shade it! At the start, I found this task difficult as I done line art and it made it look a little weird? But the more I kept shading and sketching I found it a […]
Week 3 // Vase, Milkshake and Zubat
This week after seeing our tasks, I was so excited to start making them! We made a milkshake cup, and we also made a flower vase! One of the focuses for us this week was to think about Beizer curves and figure out how to use them. First, I started off with the milkshake bottle […]
Week 2 // World Building ~ Composition and Perspective
In our class this week, our group spoke a little more about our idea for the world; we came up with ideas such as making our world into a multiverse where our five ideas are shown as TV channels and somehow there’s always a little piece of the guy who is watching the tv, in […]
Week 2 // Tie Interceptor
In week 2, we learnt about some other fundamentals of Blender such as the bevel, extrusion and knife tool, as well as learning about loops. We also learnt about quads, poly modelling, sculpting and topology. In class, our tasks were to make a skateboard and a pull kart to get us to think about how […]
Week 1 // Blender Intro – Snowman
For our first week in our 3D Literacy class, we began by learning how to use Blender. Before learning this, I had never had any experience with any type of 3D software, so I was really excited to learn how to use it! To get us used to the tools on blender and the interface, […]
