Week 3: The Pivot



WEEK 3: The Pivot

MY HEAD
Here is the model I have worked on so far I would say it is substantially more than I thought I could make in this program I have never used.









Turns out Blender is very hard to use when it comes to creating something complex like the human head. I will now pivot to a more efficient method of translating my head into a 3D Model the new method that was brought up by Jose is using a 3D scanner. The plan is now to 3D scan my big ol' head and get that into an editable blender file. The previous creation of my head from scratch is probably going to be scrapped. But I do not think this was wasted time because Blender is still the program I am going to use to sculpt my stylized head. This was a great exercise to get used to the program and how sculpting works, developing the muscle memory I think is worth it.





I got my 3D scan into blender but there was a MAJOR issue with it, it was asymmetrical which meant sculpting the damn thing was a pain in the ass. The symmetry feature was not working so I had to modify the origin of the object, and apply all transformations. After that I had to force symmetry onto the object so that the symmetry tool would work properly, the major issue with this prep of the object for sculpting is that I have to make it look like me again but that is okay because the object is meant to be stylized anyway.

Future plans will be removing the hoodie, and making my mouth open, and removing my hair.

Week 7: THE FINISH LINE is right around the corner

Image
  WEEK 7 It is a week of working in the real world. Process Before anything I had to sand down the surface. I did not take a picture of the first layer of paint we did which was black to try to absorb the light a bit more, then we did a final layer of white which I wanted because I wanted to play with the light bouncing off of it from the projectors and the phone itself. The phone is a bit loose on the sides, I swear I measured it properly but I am using a bulky case. Anyway the light seems to shine really well in the dark. I need to cut or find a way to get the wire to run out of the sculpture without lifting it up, I will probably trim it from the back. A phone case will be hot glue gunned, so that I can remove and charge the phone when needed. Anyway I am pretty close to finished. I just need to refine it a bit more.

The Journey

Image
Entire Journey: The Final Week This project started as a simple very surface level fan art about monster hunter. But I brain stormed a little bit more and made it more personal. I came to Canada at such a young age that I practically grew up here, and what came with that was the lack of Filipino Lore that I missed. This was time to catch up on that by creating keycaps that are about Filipino Mythology that does not discriminate meaning as long as the myth sounds interesting I will look in it even if it is from the South of the Philippines where I did not grow up.  Research It all started with research where I got to learn more about the myths that span the Philippines and these were the ones that I found were the most interesting and most relevant. I read the up on the myths and searched up images of them and classic symbolisms of them and created designs for each one. This process was the most important to me and the most fun as I got to again learn about myths. My favorite design...

WEEK 8: The End

Image
   WEEK 8 It is now the end... There was a descension that I had to make to either allow there to be a gap to access the side buttons or make it more cohesive, I decided on the latter. I got some clay and covered the gaps. In addition I decided to add a support beam to make it more practical and my thought process around this was that it is meant to be seen in the dark and this will not be visible. Anyway here is the finished product
