Jewellery in Motion

Animation & Jewellery collaboration

I proposed the idea of having animation on cogs in our first meeting, while it was well received however we did not know what would the object it self be.

After some brain storming and discussing, I brought up an advert for Omega watches.

This gave us a basic form and structure we are striking for, but making a watch itself was way too complicated for the student from jewellery. Therefore instead of creating animations on top of the functionality of the object, it would be a great idea to create one which its function is to animate.

I found out by using the formula of gear ratio we would be able to create a very fast rotating cog (Output) by adjusting the cog (input) it is attached to.

4th Year Final Animation Characters After discussing with my tutors, I have decided to go with an overall limited colour palette of old paper unless the characters are under certain lighting. This is achieved by having a base layer, then a layer of 3 colour range is added. Which is then set as overlay in post production. Production After the rigging of the characters I am ready to being production. I ahve already prepared most of the parts needed.

After applying the ramp shader it fits much better. Music I have been working with Ollie Yang on the soundtrack of my film. Password: rootandcur...

External Project - Dehumaniser : Complete Part1

I have completed the Dehumaniser project, and I recorded my steps and process to show how it was done. I will be covering designing, modeling, UV mapping and rigging Enjoy ! Designing I received a very limited design of the original orc, the client asked me to complete the whole design of the orc. Above was the result. Modeling It all started off by carving the basic shape of the body out. Then I proceed to extrude the arm out. As well as adding details on the model, defining the back and chest better. A block was added to be used as the base of the head. Head defined. Legs added. Mirrored. Teeth and gum were added as well as the tongue. Increased poly count as well as stronger definition on the muscles. Working on the head and face features. Smoothed, the head is starting to take shape. After working on the body, it was ready to be smoothed. See above for results. ...
