Joint Project

Hi everyone

This is the finished scene for the final assessment for 3D modelling from my course in Media at College. It was a joint project with my classmate Rob and it was quite fun to collaborate with someone doing 3D modelling this time around.

Anyway here is the final result.

Sorry if it's a little hard to see but mine was set at night.

Photo Editing Exercises

Hi everyone

Just got some of the results of some of the Photo Editing exercises we did at college to show you guys today.

First is a picture of a man that we edited to make it look like as if he has a face made of rock.

The next one we edited more lightly to add a subtle effect of shadowing as well as adding more contrast to only select areas of the image for a great final effect.

Practice drawing fabrics

Here's a few of my little drawings that I did in our drawing class at college.

We had to try and simulate fabrics/clothing on a person which was harder than I thought it would be....but here is my end result.

Then after we had enough practice drawing fabric and clothing we were tasked with creating a character using the techniques we learned so far. 

So I started a Witch Doctor/Voodoo Shaman.

Here's an in progress shot of him.

Wrecked 3D Cars

Here are some wrecked/melted cars buried in rubble that are going into the same project as the Mechwarrior/Robot from the previous post. The setting for the 3D scene I'm making in Blender will be an apocalyptic-wastedland battle scene. These cars will be used as props basically to add some drama to the scene.

Mechwarrior Robot 3D Model

Hi everyone

Got a new 3D Model to show you guys.

Its a Robot/Mechwarrior that I created for an assessment at college called 'create a 3D scene' in Blender it turned out really well in the end, it will be interesting to see how it looks when I add to the 3D scene that I've made for it.

Self-portraits

Got a couple of types of Self-Portraits that were a part of our assessments for this semester at college to show you all today.

The first task we had was to take a photo of ourselves and re-create it as a pencil drawing trying to get as close a likeness as possible.

Here's me and my weird looking hair......
I found getting the getting the character in the eyes was the hardest to do out of the whole drawing.

Also as a part of that same exercise we had to draw mouths and noses as a kind of practise run to prepare for when we tried the Self-Portrait.

The next task we had to do with Self-Portrait's was to create a poster using the photo of ourselves and then editing it in Adobe Photoshop so as to create some sort of interesting visual effect.

I decided to try to attempt to merge my face with that of Heath Ledgers portrayal of the Joker from Batman:The Dark Knight and then create a poster from that.

Here's how it turned out.

Well that's all for now, hope you enjoyed taking a look.

I really enjoyed making them!

Some testing in Blender

Just posting up a few of things I've been trying out in Blender.

Learnt to make some clouds from a tutorial at Blender Cookie.com.
I was surprised how realistic they ended up.

Here is my first attempt at using fur in Blender on the default Suzanne object, also from a tutorial at Blender Cookie.com (Check them out for some great stuff to do in Blender)

Oh and I also did an EVIL twin brother...hehehe!

Till next time guys :)
