I missed the first lecture and so this post will be about the theory of paper airplane crafting. It is my understanding that in the lectures, the class was separated into various groups and told that each member must create a paper airplane of their own design before choosing which members plane they would use…
:: Initial Reaction :: My 3D Character design came from a book scene which describes a animal hybrid flying on ‘a single crooked wing’. This meant that animation lay at the heart of that character. However, I was unable to create a quality low poly model which I could use to animate the character (Fig.1).…
Below I am going to go over my final thoughts and discuss the largest changes made from the Pre-Production plan to the final character. :: The Good :: Previous to the module I had used ZBrush very briefly and that was only to make soft environment pieces such as chairs so naturally using the software…
:: Blockout Response :: I wasn’t really happy with what I had produced for my blockout, (Which you can see in my ‘Blockout Post’). So there would be a lot of work to change what I had attempted with the blockout. There were some elements I wanted to carry over into my final level, such…
In this post I will detail how I went about exporting the character from Maya into Marmoset so I could capture my renders, wireframe renders and turntable video. :: Production :: With the modelling complete all that was left was to get the character into Marmoset so I could get some nice renders. There were…
This week we used the zremesher tool in order to sympathetically lower the poly count of a model. I did run into a problem with this, as the spikes I had added to the model did get smoothed over. I imagine this would be solved by remeshing to a higher definition or masking off the…
In this post I will list the various assets I created, and show the references i needed to use for the more complex models. :: Octagon & Fence :: References: Hermes, M (2014) [Youtube Video] ‘Maya 2014 tutorial : How to model a chain link fence’.

:: My Blockout Video :: :: Additional Comments :: I hope that my video is descriptive enough and demonstrates the techniques we have learnt in the module. However, if not then I will list how I have implemented the techniques we have studied within my level here. My first step was to create a…
