personal learning

During this month I also started working on hard surface modelling, I have done some for the films before but I found myself using the same techniques, I decided to step up my game and do things which I hadn't done before,

for my first model I decided to go for a dirt buggy, I like the idea of it as it was an opened top car and I wanted to try and model the engine and interior.

Here is a picture of what I managed to do with my skills.



This first image shows my way of tackling the problem of the frame, I found it quite useful when looking back at the previous month when I had to model the park bench, using the nurbs circles and lofting them worked on here too.



This image is what I had accomplished with simple modelling, as you can see when put together it really brings the model out. You're not able to see it in this picture but I also modelled the engine and some of the compartments

Underwater ice cave

Images i will be using to model the interior of the iceberg. i also plan to watch iceage for textures :)

More art work for The Deep

ive done a quick colour test in photoshop, im not happy with it cos im not very good at doing this kind of thing on photoshop. but i guess the more practice the better.



this image is another one of my digital paintings, i dont think im getting any better but i like it. i should maybe play around with a little more effects than just the paint brush.

Art work for The Deep

i know its not much but i just sat in today drawing and making my life a little easier. here are some rough sketches of what i have done. ive uploaded them on photoshop and added a filter to enhance the pencil a little more.



this image shows two parts of the scene, as you can see he is looking into the cave for the first time and sees the eel and its baby sleeping in their nest. it was very quick but i liked it so i uploaded it up on here.



here is another sketch i did, this one has been edited a little with photoshop, just to make it a little darker. this is sketch of what i would like to achieve from modelling the iceberg. as you can see it has a massive crack down the middle, this is where we plan to make the little kid swim through, i have also added a dark shadow of the eel to indicate that thats his home. there are also smaller sketches of what i want the inside to look like, the pillar shape ice will be where the lair will be.



this last image is just an older sketch i found from when we first started the film as you can see its a cave and not an iceberg, and the sub looks a lot different from the final design.
