This post is to basically outline what I’m attempting to learn and tie into my first L3 Digital Media project. Hopefully my proposal (as bad as it was written… I struggle to write what I’m thinking down.) gets accepted as a viable project start point. So what do I want to learn–
“WAIT WAIT WAIT… It’s May… You’ve not long finished Level 2.”
Anyway…
The plan is to try learning two things. First is to attempt to learn how to create 3D models and second is to learn how to paint said models, before they are brought into either a composition ready for a video or have the models exported into an environment using Unity or the Unreal Game Engine. Now I’m not going to pretend it’s going to be an easy project, in fact I expect it’s going to be quite difficult as I have no experience at all with 3D modelling and/or texture painting… Well in this area anyway.
Over the next few weeks (maybe longer) I’m going to try looking at a variety of modelling programs and see which I find best to get on with… Currently I’m excluding software packages I have to pay for, as currently I don’t have the funds to spend large amounts of money on professional software packages.
