Anatomy and pose recap Week 4


Tracing studies

  • Contrapposto- counterposed- offset the hip angle and the ribcage angle to achieve a sense of weight distribution. example- < > 
  • Main masses of the body Ribcage, Pelvis, Head
This is a trace over a scene from Legend of Hercules (2014). With this pose I started with what I could clearly see which were the legs, from there I placed the pelvis based on where the leg bones were pointing. After figuring out the position of the pelvis I traced around the chest area to find the general mass of the upper torso. For the shoulder under the armour I used the same technique as finding the pelvis with the legs.



After getting the skeleton in I then placed curves to act as a guide for the masses of the legs. the blue section is something I added to help me in drawing the transition from shin to knee and knee to thigh.

Using my initial trace over as reference I then produced this.

In this direct comparison I can see that I should place the pelvis a little closer to the bottom of the ribcage and potentially lower the position of the hips to make the pose lower overall mine has him looking too upright.

This was an image taken from Pinterest. The prompt was two people interacting, this is what I chose. This image was difficult to try and break down since they're both wearing baggy clothes and the fact that they are overlapping each other means I had to extrapolate the position of the torso of the second woman based of the position of their hips and shoulders .
This is what I produced based on my trace over.

Real Worlds: Research Dossier

 Real Worlds Research Dossier SWOT Analysis My strengths when it comes to this project are generally character design including the props and written backstory of my characters another strength is my ability to produce some half decent key art. I will play to my strengths in the 3d section by doing a paint over of a 3d block out as well as creating some interesting props to look at within the piece itself. My major weakness is 3D and the general workflow around it, I have some skill but I am nowhere near good enough in my opinion. Another weakness of mine is ideation and perspective so I'll try to push myself a bit more in those aspects. The ideation section of the 3d will help me improve on this area of weakness because it will allow me to delve further into shape language and storytelling through visual details. An opportunity that will come up in this project will be when I receive direct feedback from a client telling me whether the designs are working or not enabling me to go ...

Texturing and model complete

 Texturing Render captured in Sketchfab Texturing my model was quite simple I colour picked from my original character sheet and placed them where necessary using the polygon fill feature and a black mask. I also did most of the texturing on the base colour viewport to retain as much accuracy as I could.  One thing I will say before any critique over the accuracy of colours on the Tommy gun is purely for character background the chamber and the barrel aren't rust blued is because they want to take care of this weapon themselves; to stay disciplined and as a reminder, the magazine gets changed way more frequently and is not a part that is as important to her although she does fill her own magazines.  Character Texture tile Thompson M1928 Texture tile  I do plan on going back through my textures and adding my own shading instead of relying on lighting as much, doing so would also allow me to add more personality to the final model. There will also be a version with the...

Character sculpt 2 - Gangster

 Character sculpt 2 - Gangster To start off my sculpt I used the base female model that comes with Zbrush. my main goal with this is to speed up my process I will eventually change the face to better match my character model but this acts as a good jumping off point.  The first part of the sculpt I created were the trousers the following method applies to all of the main sections of the sculpt. I start with a mask and then extract at zero thickness without a double sided surface. Next I then use the polish by features operation and then Zremesh the extracted object with it set to 1 to get it as close to 1000 polys as possible once that is done I'll do some minor tweaks and remesh it again. After that I'll apply the dynamic subdivision setting adding thickness  without actually confirming it this way I have some more freedom while keeping the original low poly mesh. Each of these components aside from the base mesh were created using the method I wrote in my last pa...
