3D Model and Animation Timeline - Mechanical Marvel

This is My 3D model and animation timeline showing how the industry developed in its early years.

Contextual Studies

This is my Artist Statement which sums me up as an artist and how I like to work, this is helpful as companies can understand if I'm the right employer for the job.

This is where I compared and contrasted two famous artists who worked on creature design. this helped me develop my own art and understand how they work themselves. 

 This is my creature artist research, this is so I understand other artists processes and work schedule.

We researched different to look at what poses I could put my own art pieces in.

To better our skills as artists we researched other artists and cultures so we can pull influence from the things I have researched.

We looked at symbolism of animals, so that we understand what our art could symbolise.

This is where we looked at different artists and there pieces of art and discussed whether we thought their work constituted as art. We got further understanding of how our own art would progress.

Texture Research - Mechanical Marvel

I researched different textures so that I understood how to use textures and how they're supposed to look. It will hopefully help a lot more in later projects, when I have to fully texture models.

Lighting and Camera Angles - Mechanical Marvel

My lighting and camera angles gave me a good idea of how my rendered model would look like. this helped so that before we spend the long time rendering we can make sure we get the best look for the rendered image.

Robotic Arm Finished - Mechanical Marvel

We had to create a robotic arm using a photo of a real arm, we did this to give us an idea to how robots would look. It also gave us an idea of how human anatomy works and how joints would look and function.

Work Critique - Mechanical Marvel

Early on the project the class did a group critique, this is the feedback I got, I tried to correct the problems, it lead me to changing my research and focusing on the messenger bot, unfortunately that idea didn't go as I had hoped so I changed it into my finished design.

Artist Interpretation - Mechanical Marvel

For my artists interpretation I looked at an artists who's work I admired and tried to recreate there work process. Following the artists process helped as I tried something new, I don't think I will follow his process again as I'm not particularly proud of the end product. I tried my best to incorporate colour as i believed that was the most prominent feature of the original piece but i added my own spin on it by keeping the colour in a cell shading style.
