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.

Tool Kit 2: Depth of Field

  Tool Kit 2: Depth of Field This tutorial came at the perfect time for me as I was already messing around with depth of field in test scenes trying to understand it. This tutorial made it a lot clearer how to use it and how powerful it is as a system in Arnold. There is a lot of functionality in the Arnold camera and as such there is a lot of renders below to show each of the settings. First is the Filter map a system that works as a sort of vignette to the camera. A well as a load of setting to do with the shape of the blur including aperture blades as well as aperture aspect ratio. These can creating interesting effects if used in a stylistic manner. The main settings in the tutorial where Focus distance and Aperture size as there control how much of the scene is in focus and where in the z axes this area sits. Filter Map. Depth of Field 1. Aperture Blades : 3. Depth of Field 2.

Major Creature 4 Texturing

  Major Creature 4 Texturing The texturing process is one I enjoy and feel confident in because of this I was able to sit through the process in a few days and generate the outcome. I came back to these textures a few days later to darken the textures over all once I saw then in Arnold. I also increased the level of dirt in the textures as they looked to clean.

Tool Kit 2: Physical Sky

Tool Kit 2: Physical Sky In this tutorial I learnt about the physical sky in Arnold and how it can be used to easily mimic time of day when rendering exterior shots for animations. Using a variation of elevation, Turbidity, intensity and Azimuth you can create the different angles of sky light you would see in real life. Other settings that can be used to push a stylistic approach include sun tint, sky tint and sun size. These can be used to create strange effects that are stylised and aren't meant to look photo real. Day1. Mid Day. Morning/Evening. Foggy Day. Stylised Lighting.
