The latest unit was shown to be Digital Sculpture. Much like the animation unit, for the next two weeks studying anatomy is crucial – especially as the task and outcome of the unit are as follows:
- (Task) complete high quality 3D model of another student, complete with a topology study layer which makes reference to the first outcome
(Include a ‘turntable spin’ animation with the 3D head)
- (Outcomes) A thorough understanding of Topology
Understanding and familiarity with the 3D modelling software Mudbox
I am expecting that once again there will be a learning curve (whether steep or not remains to be seen) - which is further amplified by the short time frame to complete the project in relation to large amount of work needed. Nevertheless, given tomorrow’s scheduled modelling session and numerous available points where the studio can be made full use of, I am not too unnerved by the challenge of completing the 3D model in time.
However Topology at this point in time sparks absolutely no understanding so this is something I will have to look at between modelling this week. I will also ask tutors and technicians about the procedure of creating a Topological study layer for my work. At the moment these are my only concerns – although time remaining is always a factor. Still, with the animation project complete and Contextual analysis moving along at a steady pace, the workload is still manageable.
