Cinema4d - 3D Character

I first created a cube using the dimensions 400x100x200 and added segments 2x1x1. So I could see the segments I had to turn on 'Gourd Shading (lines)' which meant the separate polygons were visible. I right hand clicked on the object and when to 'make editable which means that I would be able to edit the object.

Making the centre two points selected using the points section tool I dragged it down 50/60 centimetres. I rotated round so I could see the top faces. In the tool bar I selected the faces two and selected the top two faces to begin to add more polygons onto my object. Right clicking brings up a menu, I selected extrude. When using the the extrude tool you would think you just drag the mouse in the direction you want extruding. This is not the case, to extrude correctly you need to drag the object to the right hand side while still holding the mouse button. I first extruded above what I already had to the value of 100. Using point editing mode I also the used the rectangle selection tool.

Kandinsky's Experiment - Circle, Square, Triangle

Wassily Kandinsky, a student from Bauhaus, circulated a questionnaire trying to determine the universal response for the relationship between colour and form. The questionnaire consisted of three shapes, a triangle, square and circle, he recipient was then to colour each one with a different primary colour etc. Red, blue or yellow. His questionnaire received a remarkable about of the same response. This may because those in the school had the same theoretical ideals. They believed that the triangle was yellow, square to be red, and the circle to be blue. This product influenced many projects in the early days of Bauhaus. They were also to give an explanation where possible. I decided to do this myself deciding differently to the Kandinsky original consensus. I felt as if the triangle should be red as this is what most red warning sign are shaped and coloured like. The circle is to be yellow as it re...

AfterEffects - Exploring Geometry

In this workshop we were to explore geometry in relevance to AfterEffects. I chose to use a pink and white colour scheme to begin with but in my second attempt I used a simple black and white, which I believe looks more effective. I learnt the following techniques in the workshop: transitions such as Venetian blinds and how to distort objects. The wiggler was very simple to use once I got the hang of it.

AfterEffects - Z Space

Before class we were asked to create a one layered composition on Illustrator, ensuring every object was on a separate layer. This would make life easier when reopening the Illustrator file in Adobe AfterEffects. Once deciding on a space theme, I used royalty free images to create planets. When in illustrator I created simple circles and then used the 'Pathfinder Tool' to cut the texture into a planet shape. I used the pen tool to create my rockets and spaceships. T he outcome of this workshop was to create 10 second movie using my prepared artwork, and to learn the use of 3D tools in After Effects, including cameras, pre-comps, building and constructing 3D scenes, textures and objects in addition to special effects. Sara gave as an excellent example of what we were going to learn how to achieve, and the extent of what the tools she was teaching us could achieve.
