Section 1:
Review (Approx 150 words)
|
|
I have learnt the
basic skills of Photoshop brushes and tools to create iconic concepts
drawings and illustrations.
Photoshop
-
Brushes – using various flat and light brushes to blend and
shade using colour pallet.
- Selection Tools – creating a selection on the canvas, without
affecting the rest of the image.
- Layers – using this to eliminate certain action and stop
overriding. Creating foreground and background. Keeps parts separate of your
project and organised.
- Blending Modes – giving the picture a way to blend in
effect.
- Transform Tools – manipulate and resize the image.
- Masking – editing specific areas and isolating portion of
an image.
- Image Adjustments
- Filters
Each of these skills
I have used to perform tasks, design, concepts and other types of
experiments. I have made character design using these tools and improved my
skills vastly. The colours and tone I have been able to amend in my developed
drawings.
3D Maya
- Modelling – use meshes to create shapes, design.
- Texturing – create texture to apply on the model.
- Animations – use frames to create movements.
Drawing
- Able to draw at any perspective when doing observational
drawings.
- Light and dark tone to an object
- Contour line and shading where necessary.
Using Maya I have
skill to model basic shapes and item and able to UV map them to texturize
them in Photoshop. I also have basic grasp on how to animate using the
timeline.
Photoshop
I plan to develop my
UV texturing skills and creating my very own textures which I can then apply
them to my project. This will develop my skills to wards my future goals in
game design as I plan to do further education at university and when I would
want to apply for a texture artist job. This project would help revisit
existing Photoshop tools which I have previous knowledge and help become more
stable in my creative skills; through this I believe I will develop much
fluent textures and design to a good standard in the games industry. This
project is building and helping me to exceed towards my 5 year plan.
Maya
Doing this it has
been a great experience as I did a couple of fascinating experiment which has
made me feel more confident from my last encounter of creating textures. This
will be very useful when I come to apply for jobs near the future. The more
knowledge gained from Photoshop helps improve my skillset aiming to become a
professional.
My project goal is
to create a fully textured, 3D guitar model made in Maya and Photoshop and
imported in the unreal engine; game ready.
I have created a
schedule to balance my time and progression. I also use orthographies from
drawing on paper to use in Maya as guidelines.

Section 2:
Project Concept (approx 250 words)
|
|
The title of my project is called 3D Art
Model. In this project I will be working towards producing a detailed guitar
model using 3D Maya. This relates to my work and idea as I have yet to
explore my skillset and knowledge of Maya. I want to get a better
understanding of what else the software offers so I can expand my creative
abilities. If I have managed to finish before the deadline time then perhaps I
may also do a Photoshop concept. I will create a progression log that will
enable to keep track of what tasks I have done and any changes throughout the
project. I had a range of instruments to choose from such a trumpet, piano,
violin or clarinet but the reason I chose to model a guitar was the fact I
personally had one myself which I could have easy access to.
I will be using the
internet to gather secondary sources which will consist of any videos that
may be inspiring or tutorial purposes. For my primary research I may either
visit a store which contains guitars which I can take pictures as well as my
own. I will research on 3D model artists to get more inspiration and if I
have any time remaining I will try to implement their style. My research will
consist of different guitar models so it allows me to alternative styles,
textures, shapes and colour.
If I have time remaining,
then intend to do some character research as well as artist inspirations.
 
This is some of the artists I
have looked into for inspirations and what my idea is based on.

Section 3:
Evaluation (approx 100 words)
|
|
I will using my own personal chart to keep
in check whether I have achieved my deadline date while the e-blog will show
what work has been checked. This will allow me to analyse what things are
missing and where I can improve. Also I intend to get feedback/opinions of
class pupils and lectures which I will write in the blog so I can bear it in
mind. This will be a critical/feedback response on the ideas. I will follow
through on each stage making sure I receive feedback each step.
