Project 2: Prop Character


This was another project that I really quite enjoyed. The modeling was really enjoyable because I feel like I chose a rather odd object to sculpt, a lava lamp. The glass and rounded shape of the lamp provided an interesting puzzle to solve that I enjoyed. As for the rig, I only ended up rigging the arms and a basic spine, as my model kept blowing up when I would try to do more. Perhaps that was my fault, but I still think the final product was good, nonetheless. The only real issue that I ran into was the lighting. For some reason, no matter what lighting I used, it looked like Flo the Lava Lamp was summoning an underworld demon. While not my intention, it did look kinda cool, so I can't complain too much.

I'm really looking forward to 3D animation because CGI films are growing to be increasingly gorgeous and impressive and therefore increasingly popular and I think that they are really neat! I'm hoping to learn some animation skills so that I could possibly spice up future presentations and demonstrations in my ...

Assignment 4: Dynamic Poses

For this project I put Buckid(s) in several creative poses. I really enjoyed this project, as it was simple and fun, and didn't include any actual animation. I was really happy with the final product of this project, and the class really seemed to like it during critique! It really helped that Buckid's rig is really intuitive, I can't imagine trying to do this with a less polished model/rig!
