Direction Concepts-Initial project Idea

 Initial project Idea 

For my final year project, I've decided to create a motion comic adaptation of a famous sci-fi short story. I've always been a fan of both the comic book and sci-fi genre in pop culture, especially when it came down to classical science fiction novels, such as Frank Herbert's "Dune", or Ray Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 99". 

"Dune" by Frank Herbert

Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
 

 

Furthermore, Online creators such as Scott Base(AKA, "badspacecomics"), have demonstrated that interesting sorties could be told just using a few comic panels.


The first three panels of Scott Base's short
story, "The Suit".


I plan to take this a step further and design a comic that could be more immersive to the viewer using a mixture 3D and 2D illustration and VR. Not only will this allow me to improve my current digital illustration and design skills but allow me to branch further into new mediums of art and technology.      

Although my initial idea might change as time moves on, I think this would be a good starting point to base my research and experimentation on.

Direction concepts-Geometry nodes, Animation , Lighting , Compositing and Rendering in Blender

 For this week, I continued my work on my blender doughnut, exploring more of the features that the software provides. I first used the geometry nodes to add sprinkles on the icing surface of my doughnut. I did this by creating a cylinder mesh, downsizing and altering it's shape to resemble a single sprinkle. I then used this as the base object for my geometry nodes to copy all over the icing's surface. Tools such as the weight paint or the poission disk, allowed me to control the location and density of the sprinkles. I was even able to randomize the position of each sprinkle using the random node. After I was satisfied with the doughnut's overall look , I then made of few more sprinkle shapes, inserted them as a group in the geometry nodes and the applied a randomized colour for all of them. This gave the sprinkles a more realistic look. As a last touch, I also added a few sprinkle balls by manually duplicating and placing spherical meshes around the doughnuts surface. Sp...

Proposal Document Rough Draft

 Note, this is a rough draft of the final year document. Sections, graphs and citations will be added in before the deadline. Final Year Project Proposal Document   Abstract – 150 Words WIP Section 1 -Introduction (250 words)   For my final year project, I will create an interactive multimedia 3D visual adaptation of Gerald Manley Hopkin’s poem, “Spring”. This 3D experience will transform the poem into a 3D environment that the user can walk through and experience. The landscape will both represent the poems visual imagery and metaphorical messages. The experience will start in a winter forest, the landscape dead and cold. As the user slowly walks forward, a disembodied voice will narrate the poem. The words spoken will have a direct effect on the environment around the user, bringing life into the forest, through animations and visual effects. However, since one of the key themes of the poem is the passage of time and the loss of innocence, the environment will...

Direction Concepts/Business Enterprise- Projects that I enjoyed during the course

Creative Digital Media    Projects  Here is a brief list of some of the projects that I had enjoyed working on on during my time in MTU. Not only these were fun to do on, but helped me understand what type of career I would like work towards. Year 1 Moving Image & Sound    I liked this module as it was my first introduction to Photoshop, Illustrator and After Effects. Coming from a background with no knowledge of using computers or creative software, this class was essential for me. It was also my first exposure of drawing and animating digitally.     Link to animation:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KslteETNo0o Animation Principles This module was nice carry on from Moving Image and Sound as it allowed to develop my animation and illustration skills in both Photoshop and After Effects.  Link to animation: https://youtu.be/494EVSmxIhQ Year 2 Portfolio Development This module was the fists time I attemp...
