VFX Project

Today we got asked to start and come up with ideas to create a VFX shot. We first got moved into new groups to start this project. We all came up with one idea at least to put towards this task in which it would need to include VFX and some sort of story to go along with it. 

the ideas that were discussed were:
Jumper Movie inspired teleportation
Free-running
Some sort of space maybe like the film Gravity
Slow motion gun fight
Fantastic four inspired fire transformation 
The teamwork went pretty well today we all helped in the development of each others ideas as well as discussing which idea we liked best to then move onto going more in depth of what we would like to see. Our communication was pretty good everyone contributed towards the idea pool and everyone helped in the discussion of how we are going to write the story and how we are going to incorporate the VFX shots into this.

Model [Doomhammer Model]

So today we decided to do some more 3d modeling. The models could be of anything we like of any genre so I decided that because I have played World of Warcraft in the past and it is a game I enjoy I decided to model one of the weapons in the game. The weapon i chose was Doomhammer which happens to be very nice model and has some nice detail in the model. The picture I chose to help: As you can tell the model looks quite difficult however a lot of the detail in the model can just be done with texturing the only part I could worry about or just not have on the model is the cloth above the hilt that sticks out but we shall see what happens when it comes to me texturing the model. My model so far: The shape of my model is looking very similar to what the original looks like and I am enjoying making the model as this is definitely developing my skills in 3ds max as well as texturing. I will be updating this post with every time the model is updated.

First Attempt at Modeling Characters in Maya

Day 1 - Maya Character Modeling  So today I had my first attempts at modeling a character from reference images alone which for my reference images they are from an artist known as Josh Addessi and the image is his Golem Keeper. I chose this reference as it seemed like an interesting way to start off modeling characters as a lot of the shapes are still quite cube like with the golem being made of rock and it having a lot of sharp edges on it. I believe I did okay just starting I seemed to start off strong and got a hang of until I came up to the shoulders however the tutorials that Matt gave us helped a lot in that respective area as he showed us a nice and easy way to do it by using an edge loop. I made some mistakes in my character as there was a point when I went to mirror one side of the golem it had six faces on top of each other which I did fix just by deleting any extra faces that were on there. The only part I have to do next is to model the basic shape for the head as Ma...
