Mudbox (Week 6)

-
Today in our 3D lesson we learnt more about Mudbox - I really enjoyed using it to make an interesting character out of the base head shape preset in the software. I then changed it gradually, playing around with the different settings like mould, smooth, cut, etc. and also the stamps, finishing off with a character I came to really like by the end, who seems to be a well traveled and experienced man with bear-like scars and a concerned face. He also reminds me of a kind and silly uncle. I also wanted to add eyes but wasn't sure how to make them look good so I made holes with the cut tool. I actually like how they came out, quite abstract and slightly eerie.

I never really took to stop frame animation growing up, only really watching a few films made in this way that I really loved like Wallace and Gromit and The Miracle Maker, but more recently I have really seen the beauty and unique style of stop motion, and have watched some wonderful shorts and films too. In the lesson we looked at the way the body moves, and how nothing simply moves immediately at a certain speed, but actually slows in and out, gradually increasing and decreasing in speed. We were tasked with creating some short videos of basic animations like bouncing balls, pendulums and balloons - this was to help us practice making our fairings and checking our timing as we create these simple animations. We also had to use our fairings to make the objects slow in and out so that the final animation is much more realistic. Free swinging pendulum: Mechanical pendulum: Ball: Even though I'd already created bouncing ball animations in 2D and 3D, I sti...
