Reflective Statement

Reflective Statement

I think that over the time given to me i did a reasonable job in executing the brief that was given to me. I managed to fulfil all the necessary criteria of the brief naturally while fulfilling the main aspect of the brief being the 3 digital paintings. I think my execution of the painting could have been better if i used more techniques i now know how to do throughout the whole process and not from the point i learnt them forward. I think my time thumb-nailing and researching the texts given gave me a better understanding of the initial creative process, however stubbornness and my own creative mind led me to creating the first images my brain came up with when given the brief.

To improve this project i would spend more time thumb-nailing all the cities in a looser and more creative way before picking the city i wanted to do. focusing more on elements of the city and less on the composition of the paintings. I think this would make the aspects of the cities more interesting and give me a better footing for when i start the digital painting process.

To improve I would work on the digital paintings in a more Matt painting style saving time and energy. However I think I would need to push myself to spend more time painting over the photo's I used as well as spending more time looking to keep the photo's in perspective and aligned accurately.

Maya Texturing class: Substance 3

  Maya Texturing class: Substance 3 In this class we went through the process of texturing this dumpster, recapping the use of fill layers and masks in Substance before being introduced to a few new tools that helped create the look of the textures. first we used the brush to paint in height information using alpha's and different brushes to create dents and parts of pressed metal. We then added anchor points to these layers allowing them to be used is functions that use the curve texture maps generated by the software. This means on the stamps we can use generators like edge ware or light as if it was modelled geometry. We then used the projection tool to project textures onto the dumpster and push onto the paint layer, this makes it easy to add images onto the texture maps for an object. This is seen with the spray can an the Graphic Graffiti on the Dumpster. Maya Render AO Pass Final Composite
