This week we were taught how to put a basic rig on our character. For the demonstration we used a premade character and added an armature and then extrude up and out to make the complete skeleton one one side. Once we have made all of the joints and bones for one side of theContinue reading Week 11 – Rigging
Last week we made a low poly character that is good for character animation but it doesnt have a lot of detail. The method that we will be taught today allows us to make a normal map on our low poly model and add in texture to the surface of the model. We did thisContinue reading Week 10 – adding detail
Up until now we have been making high poly models that have acted more like concept art, however these models would not be any use when animating as it would take a long time to render and a unnecessary amount of polygons. for this week we were taught how to make low poly torsos andContinue reading Week 9 – Low poly characters
This week we learnt about a new workflow involving sculping that acts as a from of concept art in 3d. This includes blocking out the basic shapes of you character with basic shapes such as cylinders and spheres. Once you have a basic shape for the character you can merge them all together by usingContinue reading Week 8 – Character blocking
As an introduction to sculpting we were taught the basic of all of the tools and some of the functions that were available to us such as masks. To get more comfortable with the brushes and functions we were tasked with making an alien as it allows us to be loose with proportions and itContinue reading Week 7 – intro to sculpting
For our second assignment we have been tasked with creating a character that fits in with a Genndy Tartakovsky animation. His work includes television series such as samurai Jack, star wars: clone wars and the animation I have chosen to set my character into, Hotel Transylvania. Hotel Transylvania is known for characters with exaggerated featuresContinue reading Week 7 – intro to assignment 2
In week five we were introduced to substance painter. We were given a premade hammer to texture and although i have used substance before this was the first time i had looked into using the masks and different functions to make the rust and dirt on the hammer. This was also the first time iContinue reading Week 5 – Substance Painter
This weeks in class workshop was learning the basics of uv mapping and texturing in a 2d software.to start off we made a dice from a premade image to get us familiar with the uv editing space. we then moved on to a coke can with a premade lable, however with this we needed toContinue reading Week 4 – UV Mapping and Texturing
In week three the main focus was learning the Bezier curve. Learning this allowed us to create the straw in a milkshake and a flower stem in a vase. As well as that we were taught some more basic functions when it comes to materials such as how to make the object transparent. A wellContinue reading Week 3 – 3D modelling and Bezier curve
For week two we are going a bit more in depth into 3D modelling. First, we have been tasked with creating a skateboard and pull cart. During the process of modelling the skateboard we were told about the importance of quads within 3D modelling. Furthermore, we were taught how to separate materials on a singleContinue reading Week 2 – 3D modelling progression
