Synoptic Project Update

Since the last post the group has managed to fix the communication issues we had by coming together and having a group meeting in which we discussed the issues we have been having as a group and making sure we sorted them as soon as possible because we are not that far away from the deadline for this project so this is the time where we can't really have anyone doing just nothing as we need to get the environment done. We made sure everyone has a job to do.

My personal update is that after we had the team meeting I have managed to figure out what is needing to be done and what I personally have to do in this project, so now that I know what I need to do I have sorted the issue of me feeling like I was getting left behind as some of the group continued to just do the project themselves instead of communicating with the rest of us to get this fixed.

I have still been modeling a few models to go into the environment in which yesterday and today I have been working on some machinery for the project just so we can fill some space that may be left empty in the environment.

I still feel like we need to have more meetings between the group just so everyone is constantly up to date with everything that the group has done and wants to be done because sometimes the project has changed and we haven't really told everyone else.

Synoptic Project So far Personal & Group

So this post is just an update on the Synoptic Project so far as of right now we are onto week three of the synoptic project and so far the project that I am working is one of the ones I voted for when we were choosing which of the projects we were going to do. So for my job role in the project I am a 3d Modeler and so far I have been working on models that can be placed around the environment to fill up the environment so that it doesn't look empty when you are walking around the environment. So far I am enjoying the project and so far I am getting on pretty well with the task I have been given however it doesn't really have that much to it as I was just told to make some models to place in the environment so even though I know how the project needs to look and the theme of the project it is still quite hard to get the right type of models to go inside the environment. I have managed the work pretty efficiently so I am never left with nothing to do I have made sure that I ...

The 12 Principles of Animation

1: Squash and Stretch - this is how rigid or soft and object is. So an object will never just take one size so if you drop a ball from a height when it hits the floor it get squashed down and stretch out the sides of it. 2: Anticipation - An action that tells the viewer what will be happening next. So if someone is shooting a gun the anticipation of the person squeezing the trigger of the gun tells you that they are going to shoot it before the animation is even there. 3: Staging - Presenting your idea so it makes sense. This could be just how the area around the objects so in the film Monster House every house has either a picket fence or a wall however the monster house itself has no wall or fence which gives it a sort of feeling of dread and then house looking all dark. 4: Straight Ahead and Pose to Pose animating - Straight ahead animation is the process of animating each frame in order. Then you have pose to pose which is where you draw three key frames then go back to draw...

New Model/Concept Art [Loki's Helmet]

So this is my next planned model once I get both Doomhammer and Mjólnir finished and textured. So this piece being from the Marvel Cinematic Universe I need to get it to look very nice proportion wise. The helmet itself I think is going to be very tricky due to the amount of overlapping layers and as well as some unusual features. Those being the horns on the helmet which I think the only hard part for those is when they will curl back in towards the helmet. In this version of the helmet I will be adding a little something from the comics and that being a blue gem that in the comes he always had in his crown. I drew both a front facing and a side view for a all round basic look at the helmet in which it will help me make it easier to get the shape done correctly. I would be doing the back of the helmet however with it being very plain just from the side and the front view will suffice for what I need to get this helmet modeled correctly. After all of the modeling I will need to...
