3D Modeling - Project 2 & 3

 Project 2 - Character Modeling

For project 2 we had to model a character. It could be an existing character or we could create our own. I decided to create Pikachu from Pokémon. I created the model in MAYA and textured it in SUBSTANCE

Project 2 - Character texturing & theme

Since project 1 and 2 were combined we didn't have to render out the first project. Instead we had to come up with a different theme for the character and render it out after we applied the new theme. I decided to go with a dark theme for Pikachu which is combined with elements from some other Pokémon.

Reflection

Project 2 & 3 were a bit more advanced that project one as the character shape is more organic that hard surface models. We used the techniques learnt in class to create any character for project 2 and then the texturing was project 3. Project 3 required us to create our own theme so it helped us integrate our own creativity into the project and just using the reference. These projects helped me learn a bit more advanced techniques in Maya and exporting the models to use in other apps such as substance for texturing and rendering.

Advanced Animation - Project 2 - Production

 Project 2 - Production After Animatics and acting was done, we moved onto setting up the set in MAYA. I used a rig for my character called Jasmine Rose by Ahmed Shalaby. I first imported my Acting into Adobe animate and listed out how many frames each scenes used and blocked it out in MAYA. I made set before I did this. Figure 1 - Animation Blocking After I blocked out the scenes I started animating scene by scene. After animating the scenes I added rough lighting to see what it would look like in the final render. I rendered the scenes in this lighting for feedback. Figure 2 - Project 2

Project 3 - Digital Surrealism The objective this project is to create a surreal artwork in photoshop. Below are some examples of digital surrealism.

Cyborg image of me Image for background - Artwrok by Chin Fong  https://www.chinfongart.com/art I used quick selection to cut out myself into this image, after using healing brush to remove some of the ninja character which was already in the image. Then it was color matched I used the brush tool to add some glow from the pink sign onto my body in a new layer Saturn image I want to add Whale image I added to the sky, Inspired the the song Gojira - Flying Whales More whale Images Whales and Saturn added in Next I brought it into Adobe after effects for animation. My main idea for animation is to add rain fall into the image. I started by adding the CC rainfall simulation in after effects and playing around with settings a bit. Next step addin...
