Premise - Texture Test

The following images show two models that have been created as a test for the style of texture and shape. While it it far from a finished and polished model it has given an experience of what is to be desired in the next rendition of the model. 


Below is an image of the two models, the textured set being the second attempt. In terms of improvement for the next model the texture needs to include a light range of tones alongside the dark ones. The structure could also benefit greatly from being more clean. The amount of polygons should also be lowered to fit the style better.


In terms of the textures themselves they still require work on the hair, ears and face. 





Artist Toolkit 2 - Moom Facial Animation Exercise

For our facial animation class we were tasked to capture the basic facial motions within the video shown. This included taking into account of making a 'lively' character and not one with 'dead' features, helping to sell the illusion.

Artist Toolkit 2 - Info-graphic, Sherlock Holmes

For this toolkit exercise the class was required to create an info-graphic style piece of animation to use as a title sequence for a selected film or series. My chosen film was the 2009 'Sherlock Holmes' Directed by Guy Ritchie. The aim was to create a fitting piece of animation lasting 30 seconds for the following media.





The news paper was created to be reminiscent of a Victorian broadsheet and contains a number of references to Arthur Conan Doyle's stories. Animation including using a number of blurs and adjustment layers to attempt to recreate an authentic feel.
