Final Portfolio Project

 oops im pivoting

Due to my birthday being Monday im not as far as i would like to be.
but i decided to take advantage of the smart materials i made for Common art and reuse them on a smaller version of the iconic castle from Howls Moving Castle.

This is a smaller version of the castle that's seen towards the end of the movie and is referred to as Sophies Castle

because of my responsibilities for common art and capstone being complete i will have ample time to complete this little guy before industry review

Schedule 
This week: mock up and start of UVs
Next week : UVs GR /HR 
Final turn in: Textures (smart materials already complete)

Howls Moving Castle Sprint 3/4/5

 

i realized im a fool and i forgot to update my last two sprints so here is it all together

Sprint_3

Final pass on flower models and corrected geo for flowers and grass

Sprint_4

First Pass Textures

Sprint_5

Second pass of Howls moving castle textures

behind due to issues with mesh from the modelers 
had to correct UVs so they baked properly and better utilized the Smart materials being used
After making corrections texture work is 80% done
all that's needed is decals for windows and doors and more cross hatching texture to bring it closer to reference material. As well as tweeking moss and grime across model

Project 3 Proposal (Research)

 Character Design Sheet/ Research

Goals for the project:

• Character Design Template 
  (for quick documentation and portfolio)
  
• One Clear design sheet for Mari (Bloodsong) that includes a species break down
  
• Template will be neutral with small framing so it easier to place your pieces to build the reference sheet.

(Bonus) Template also works as a way of showcasing environment and prop concept art. Better if it can show case the model and the 2D concept,

Why? I want an easier and presentable method of showcasing my character designs and 2D work in general. Since I made a template for show casing my 3D work that worked very well. I wanted to do the same for my 2D design work. 
Having a template would make it easier for me to focus on the design rather then worrying about how im going to arrange the design on the canvas. I also want to avoid the issue with using templates off the internet is sometimes there too detailed and they pull away from your design. I also don't like using blank white or grey canvases.
 

Schedule

Week1 general thoughts and preplanning
Week 2 first pass of lay out templates and Mari design
Week 3 final pass finish designs and make template ready to be uploaded to GitHub
