3D CHARACTER FOR ANIMATION AND ENVIRONMENT DESIGN

MAKING PROCESS VIDEO

After finishing with the modelling the character, I need to create video making process.

So this my video, from sketches into the final:

TEXTURING AND LIGHTING PROCESS

In this task, I will put texture in my characters.

Using color

The texture that I use in my character

Smoke texture for eyes

For Mystyin wick

MODELLING PROCESS

In this task, I will start to make my character in 3D model in Maya Software. Below is the picture and screenshot for my process.

Picture 1: Head part

Picture 2: The upper part, lower part and the eyes

CHARACTER PROCESS

Where I  research about the character that represent Mantin. So I choose the old oil lamp as my character it is because the lamp is the essential or important thing that use to guide and light the life of people in Mantin before the electricity come to this small town. First I use the old street lamp but it possibly never use in Mantin, so I change it into old kerosene lamp and I need to put Mantin feel in there.

Below is my ideas and sketches for my character:

Camera Angle Activities

This activities is conduct in class, where we been partner of two in taking picture from the camera angle that we choose. I was group with Tomie and below is the list of what type of angle that we choose to take.

Alexis:

Pov(Point of View)
High Angle
Medium
Chocker
Reaction

Tomie:

Tight
Low Angle
Middle
Medium Longshot
Long

Below is the picture that we take:

HIGH ANGLE: A shot from above the subject.

MEDIUM ANGLE: A shot taking half of the upper body of the subject.

CHOCKER: An extreme close up towards the subjects to show the expression of the subject.

POV(POINT OF VIEW): A shot taking from the pov of the camera with the subject.

REACTION: A shot taking of the close up of the reaction or expression of the subject.

TASK 2

Subject Matter : Mantin
Topic: Interaction Between Human and Building

My subject matter is about Mantin and my topic is about Interaction Between Human and Building.

So, I'm going to learn what is building and creating the mind map about what material to create the building, furniture, structure and etc.

I choose furniture and from furniture I choose the old oil lamp. Why I choose the oil lamp is because in every building in Mantin has black soot on the upper side of their wall and from the metaphor, the lamp was alive and recording the interaction between the human and building and also providing a guide towards their life.

MASCOT, ICON AND CHARACTER RESEARCH


TASK 2

In this task we need to conduct research about mascot, icon and character research before we going to design and create our own character. So in this research, I choose two mascot that famously known, A&W and MC DONALD.

Mc Donald

The name of the famous fast food chain restaurant is come from the founder itself name : Richard and Maurice McDonald.
Their mascots come from the TV series in 1950 that known as BOZO. BOZO is a clown in that series and the McDonald mascots name is Ronald McDonald.

Picture 1: McDonald mascot, Ronald McDonald

A&W

A&W is a fast food restaurants chains that famous from Canada and the name of the restaurant is come from the founder Roy W. Allen. The mascot of the A&W is come from the place because Canada has many bear and also from the constellation of Ursa Major that mean 'Great Bear'.

Picture 2: The mascot of A&W.

Task 1: Info graphic

In the first week, we were given task to create an info graphic for a short 3d animation. There we need to learn about the character design, the shot their take, the color and audio, moral, background design and also the summary of the story.

Film title: DUM SPIRO

Summary: This story is about a messenger of Roman camp that need to send letter toward Viking camp about their war strategy that can change the fate of two world. In between of his important job, he need to past the bear territory to enter the Viking territory but the bear hate the human to enter his territory. So, how will the messenger send the letter and past the obstacles in the bear territory?

This is my infographic about Dum Spiro

Gantt Chart

Gantt chart is

We already create Gantt chart for this module, so we will keep track in our progress on deciding what should in every week.

Picture 1: My Gantt Chart

In pre-production, its start in week 4 until week but some of it extended into week 7. In pre-production we have research about history of mascot, icon and learn about any famous company mascot. The ideation, character and environment design. So using this gantt chart, some of our work is according to the gantt chart but some is not to the schedule, so we combine of making them together around the same time.

Trips to GSC Pall Mall, Seremban to watch PIXEL for character development.

This trips is how we going to develops the character for our task and how we can create character from non-living thing.

Movie Title: PIXEL

Release: July 24 2015

Cast: Adam Sandler as Sam Brenner

Movie Summary:

 This movie is about a popular arcade game in 20^th centuries or to be more be specific is in year 1982, for example Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Centipede and etc. In year 1982, their competitions in popular arcade in their town. The championship video will be launched toward the in hoped of alien interaction. The main character, Sam Brenner enter the championship and in final he lose to another participants, Eddie Plant. 

Picture 1: Pixel movie poster

This trip is for to learn about the character that this movie use and how we going to create character for our animation and using this movie we research about connecting the the topic and giving the mind map what you can look from the topic to create the character.

This trip, really help me in choosing simple character that I can use in my 3D character for animations.
