Common : Dealer's Choice

For this week's assignment we really weren't given much of a structure for the assignment aside from takg into consideration the concepts and values we learned in the previous week.

As as result, I took it upon myself to create something I've been wanting to do for awhile now: My own personal lofi hip hop radio.

While I didn't complete the project to my satisfaction due to time constraints (thanks industry review!), I will definitely revisit it as it's something I really enjoyed making.

Inspiration.

Final (for now) result.

Animation : Walk Cycle

We were tasked with creating a basic walk cycle, working with either a basic boney or basic beefy rig.

3D Art : Basic Real-Time Prop

In this multi-week module, we are creating a basic real-time prop for a game - in this case a crate. We will be taking this crate through the proxy, game and high resolution modeling phases.

Common Art: Perspective

 This week we were tasked to do the following:

• Generate at least four buildings in Maya with which to populate a city.
• Populate a Maya Scene File with the buildings created - additional kit bashing was permitted.
• Build shots for one-, two- and three-point perspectives.
• Choose our favorite shot, then render it with Arnold and composite it in Photoshop.

Examples of the different perspectives.

Instead of a traditional cityscape, I wanted a more Disney inspired village.
