Website Progress

Being a productive person outside of college, I have alot of work still needed to upload onto my website. So far, additional content have been uploaded into my Gallery. A new page has been made featuring audio tracks that I have created. I have also changed the header and background to try making my website stand out and easier to read.

Works that are still needed are adding more up in my videos and gallery section whilst the rest is to develop more 3d and 2d work as I intend to keep adding more content after leaving college and working on either my own projects and projects for clients.

In today’s paper? there is nothing.

I modelled this in Autodesk Maya today just helping Adam design something for his animation scenery.

All this model is made of is inserted edges and translating them inwards to give the appearance of a newspaper. All modelled from a large cube.

Job Roles in the Creative Media Industry: My introduction

#Unit 12 #Task 1

Behance is a online portfolio that I have created a account on for future employers as well as showcasing my works, projects and demos for my college course and my company’s works.

This is a simple rotor I made that throws these balls out. I originally animated the cube in the centre to spin 360 degrees and looped it to spin the animation over and over again. How I achieved the loop cycle is I went into the graph editor, converted the tangent from flat to linear which keeps the speed as it is instead of slowing down or slowly starts.

I then went into curves and selected the post infinity and selected the linear setting to create the loop of the 1 second long animation to spin forever.

#Task 2 #Unit 3

My new intro video for all my videos. Made in After Effects.

#After Effects

So I have been working on this scene since October last year and it is not yet finished. it is a room I am making for a little animated movie called Army Men.

I have the doors, window (yes there is glass there) and bed. this quick render shows how much is still left to do. total time till the room itself is completed may take til summer, then it's the character models and animations left to do.

Made in Blender 3D

An upcoming animated movie.

based on the pre-production I did in Oly's class

Mike's Session 09/12/2014

In today's session Mike was teaching us about the nCloth in Autodesk Maya. What nCloth is, it is a setup to creating cloth based meshes like clothing, flags, curtains and various others.

What I made in today's session that relates to the nCloth tools is a bed which is also another scene I am working on like my Kitchen scene.

The bed was made into a static object after the cloth simulation. How I did this was I duplicated the nCloth mesh.

Term 2 Target

RESEARCH SKILLS:

I feel my research skills have improved mainly independent to the course as I tend to research how to do certain things for certain programs when I want to try new things. Many of my research is done on the internet and in magazines, especially reading through photoshop magazines to experiment techniques that are seen in the book and use what video tutorials when it comes to 3d modelling and animation.

IDEAS AND PLANNING:

I have alot of ideas that range from small items to buildings. I am very creative in my ideas and have created work in all classes each being different than the last, I have only started using the brush preset to create fire effects brush for painting fire and also working on live photos. In Oly's class, my planning is reasonable but I did learn about pre-production in my previous course. My ideas and planning come together well and I know what I am planning to create and know how to bring that idea off the paper and into any projects I have. My planning in Oly's class is currently being made into a 3D animated movie and I always plan and research what I can before bringing my idea to light.

USE OF SUBJECT TERMINOLOGY:

I use my subject terminology extremely well due to my now 3 years experience in the industry. I know what software I am using, I understand the subject terminology as I use them quite frequently in my tumblr posts, my tutorial videos and also in my work.

MY STRENGTHS:

I say my main strength in this course overall would be my knowledge and skills in 3D modelling as I can use 2 3d applications (Blender and Maya) with near professional skills, I have spent 3 years now working in Blender which has given me to knowledge of animation, modelling, rendering, compositing and UV mapping which I have brought those skills into Autodesk Maya. My photoshop skills are also very good which is honestly a surprise to me as I am not a drawer but I think my overall strength is my commitment and determination in all my projects.

AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT:

I think the areas I need to improve on is my written work in all lessons as I do feel I do not write alot or explain clearly enough as I am never been much of a writer even though I have achieved certificates in Media and English which there was alot of writing to be put into those.

I do think I need to improve on explaining more and posting more screenshots to backup my work.

#Term 2 #mikesmga

This is a quick little demonstration of a new brush tool I made.

What I was doing this morning was creating a fire effect using various techniques and skills I have learnt from home and at college. I only worked on this effect to improve my photoshop techniques as I have never created fire before.

The next post will feature the brush I used and the final design.

A screen capture of the reload animation at different times in the animation, the total frame number is 85 frames for this model animation.

tf3dm.com is a website which you can download virtually any models you want as well as upload your own models. I went onto this website and downloaded a animated AK-47 with arms that demonstrates the reloading animation.

This post is to showcase my 3D project I set myself at home.

This is a early screenshot of what I am working it, this project is using experimental techniques and settings to create a blockbuster feel to the render, with combination of spotlights, area lights, sunlight, ambient occlusion and...

A challenging task: 3D Animated Short Video

I have set myself a huge challenge this weekend with a deadline being the 30th of November.

What is the task:

The task is to create a short 3D Animated Production using the skills I have learned over the last couple of years in 3D modelling, Texture editing, lighting effects, animations of static objects and dynamic characters and video setup and editing.

What will be the benefit of this task:

The benefit I will get out of this task is a family friendly short video as well and visual evidence of the skills I am using for any future career in 3D animation.

Software I will be using:

The software I will be using to create this production will be the combination of Blender 3D, Adobe After Effects, Adobe Audition and Sony Vegas Pro using experimental techniques to create an graphical illusion that this a new Blockbuster animated movie.
