Pipeline 1: Head Modelling Part 1

Pipeline 1: Head Modelling Part 1 - 8

Pipeline 1: Part 1 and 2

Part 1 and 2 involved setting up the scene and blocking out the main shape for the head, this process seemed simple but important to create a good base for the development of the model.

Part 3

Part 3 continued the rough blocking stage while also setting up temporary eyes and areas for the mouth and ear. this stage was very simple but took time so it is effective.

Part 4

While modelling the mouth I struggled a bit creating a shape o was happy with, however knowing i will return to the mouth when other parts of the model was done made me realise I didn't need to super worry about it and I should move on instead of repeating the same steps over again.

Part 5

The eye was another part I struggled making, needing to revisit it after some time to get a renewed perspective of what I needed to make and how it would be developed later. I found once I saw the later steps I knew what I was meant to be doing in the earlier ones, this understanding gave me more confidence in what I was doing and made me feel comfortable moving on.

Part 6

modelling the nose was simple enough and after previous parts i was more confident in making decisions and modelling the character.

Part 7

The Brow confused me in parts however I made it through the process without to much trouble. Understanding the tools was easy and creating the brow was a simpler step with a better understanding of them.

Part 8

Using the shape and vertex snap created a very strange shape at the start. This might have been due to the low attention I gave to the back of the head. However I was able to slowly shape this into something that looked good while maintaining a good jaw shape.

Lion King : Archetypes

Film Review: Lion King Hero: Simba is the hero of our story and fits the archetype of a hero so well when thinking about the hero's journey. Shadow: Scar is the shadow in the lion king sowing ill will and deception in the start of the movie to set up the events of the film. Herald: Rafiki calls Simba to action and shows him a way to get in contact with his father. He helps the hero find there way and shows Simba the path when he's lost. The Threshold Guardian: I think the threshold guardians are the hyenas in the lion king. i think this is because they are present and the threat when Simba and Nala go into the darklands, crossing the threshold into defiance against Mufasa. Trickster: Timon as he plan's to use Simba for safety as he is a lion and can scare off other predators. Mentor/father: Mufasa if Simba's father and mentor, a father figure who is teaching him to be king even after his death at the start of the movie. Allies: Timon, Pumba and Nala are the main all...

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
