Core Project: Diorama Reference images and painted reference The initial ideas for my diorama came from the summer brief, and the images above, I decided to make my diorama based on traditional japanese shrines, which I then changed in the later stages to incorporate my love for Japan but also my love for Amsterdam in a mash up internal diorama as opposed to an outside environment.

Core Project 1 Asset Design Realistic Texture Created in photoshop using the brief given, photo taken from my front garden! Little blurry and odd but i dont hate it! I do though prefer where I ended up when creating the tileable texture in 3d!

Year 2 Core Project: Specialist Pathway (Character modelling) The character is from a russian music video as seen here: Leningrad ft. Gluk’oZа (ft. ST) Ju-Ju https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-GQDCtt1Vk&ab_channel=%D0%9B%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%B3%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B4%7CLeningrad This has been one huuuuge undertaking, easily the most difficult thing I've made so far. Teaching myself Zbrush during the year has been incredibly fun but also daunting task, but i think im finally getting the hang of it. Process pictures above show my full process including my reference images, modelling in zbrush, decimation and finally renders in zbrush. As a bonus I also took the model into Substance and slapped a coat of paint on it for fun! The entire modelling process was a combination of Zpheres for the base, masking extracting and re-topologizing and of course sculpting with a variety of brushes. Mostly the standard, with only 1 brush being downloaded as an extra.

Year 2 Core Project Diorama Take 2 The finished, modelled, textured lit and rendered diorama! I would've made a turntable but I'm pretty sure my pc couldn't handle it! So incredibly happy with this outcome, simple, stylised, and i just really like it! The "Amstokyo" mash up of Amsterdam/Tokyo with a coffee shop flavour. Tatami mat flooring, fusuma (sliding doors), flat whites and a coffee machine in the front, and a room for smoking in the back with a neon sign that reads as "rest/relax", along with some traditional art lining the sofas and walls, though with the Amsterdam influence of soft stools to sit on, and brass tables to roll and smoke on.

Year 2 Core Project: Diorama (Take2) Amsterdam/Tokyo Coffee Shop "Amstokyo" I was Ok so I finished up the diorama modelling with a few little extra details such as an ashtray, coffee cups and books and finalised the coffee machine behind the counter. Now I wanted to texture the floor with the tatami mat texture.. Which I didn't know how to do. Cue moving to substance designer for the first time and making my own material to use! Success! Super happy, took forever but honestly, genuinely happy. Now to texture the rest of the diorama, add lighting, rotate it as an animation and hit that render button!

Year 2 Core Project: Production Assistant This lamp was not modelled or UV'd by me but by the lovely Iris! I textured it to help save her time, that she inevitably spent helping me anyway. Though I did learn a lot on substance! And i really do love how it came out!

Year 2 Core Project: Diorama (2nd try) Here are my reference images on my pinterest board, and also a very rough sketch to plan out location and assets to fill the scene.

Year 2 Core Project: Diorama (Take2) Amsterdam/Tokyo Coffee Shop I was unhappy with my previous attempt at a diorama, it was at the start of the year and i felt like looking back my knowledge just wasn't there. Though i was close to finishing, I felt like remaking my diorama, and this time moving into something a little more interesting. Without leaving the japanese theme behind, I've chosen to create a "coffee" shop in the style of Amsterdam, but with some tokyo vibes that include patterned Fusuma doors separating the areas, Tatami mat on the floor and some nicely lit neon lettering in the seating area. I'm significantly happier already, my topology is stronger and feel like this is coming along nicely! Need to complete the small pieces that populate and then finish UVing, exporting to substance and giving it a lick of paint!

Year 2 Core Project: Motion Graphics The final motion graphic based video using a combination of maya, after effects and premiere pro. Original the video had music to it created by a friend of mine, though by the time I got to the end I realised it just didn't fit and removed it.

Year 2 Core Project: Motion Graphics As much as at times I had fun, this wasn't the most enjoyable of projects i've done this year. I found mash to be finicky and not friendly what so ever, and exporting became a pain as my computer began to crash when I was rendering out. Though i ended up rendering in Arnold in the end, which in turn seems to have given me watermarks on my final video. Once completed I took the clip into after effects to add some text and text effects. Video to follow in next post! Anyone know what film im referencing in my breaking news?
