Pipeline 1 : Body Modelling Part 1

Pipeline 1 : Body Modelling Part 1 - 6

Part 1:

Blocking out the model initially is a simple process only made harder by the Pre Planning needed to create a smooth transition into modelling the rest of the body.

Part 2:

Seeing as how this design is very similar to alot of cartoon characters, made from simple shapes connected to each other. Modelling the arm was very simple through connecting a tube structure to the already made torso.

Part 3:

The legs where harder due to getting it close to the middle line. Going over this causes trouble when mirroring the model. However it was a fairly painless process and a simple task as it is its own piece of geometry

Part 4:

The boots where simple, even when taking into account creating good geometry for skinning. This was a simple and fairly fun process.

Part 5:

The way of making hands shown in part 5 is really useful and is a method I will be using in the future. These fingers have a defined style so the level of sculpting might vary depending on how I model characters in the future.

Part 6:

Finishing up and mirroring the model was a easy process, finishing up the body and then importing the head into the scene and creating the final model of the character was a good moment. Seeing the character finished I have a few part I would change if I did it again, but overall I am really happy with how the body and to a lesser extent the head came out.

The Martian: 3 Act Structure

Film Review: The Martian Finding how the Martian sits into the broader idea of a 3 Act structure was fairly easy, as its laid out narratively in 3 very clear acts. However deciding what part of the movies where what in terms of inciting incident, mid point and Climax where harder Distinctions. Exposition The First scenes of the movie are full of exposition showing the cast on mars taking samples and carrying out other various scientific experiments. The Title along with the design of the set shows this to be astronauts on mars and sets up the location for most of the movie going forward. Inciting Incident This would be where the rest of the astronauts leave our main character Mark Watney on mars after presuming him dead in a storm. He instead doesn't die and manages to make it to the relative safety of the space habitat where he stops himself from bleeding to death. Before the audience is told about marks plans on how to stay alive fighting the main problem he faces in the whole ...

A Bug's Life: The Hero's Journey Review

A Bug's Life: The Hero's Journey Review After learning about the hero's journey, I have re-watched a bugs life in an attempt to break it down into the frame work of the hero's journey. The Ordinary world: The ordinary world is the ant colony being oppressed by the grass hopper's. The way of life where they are threatened and bullied into collecting food for the grass hoppers while also collecting food for themselves. The call to adventure: Flik see's a world where the ants can harvest food fast enough that they can feed the grass hoppers while also collecting enough food for themselves. This is in an attempt to relieve the stress that the ants feel when collecting food. The call to adventure is often linked to the themes of the movie. However the main theme is ridding the ants of the grass hoppers instead of this call to just sate the grass hoppers. Refusal of the call: Flik gives up on these ideas and agrees to act like everyone else and collect food in the s...
