Day 11 : Class

1230 - 155 PM


  • Checked up on completed Yokai file, there is a glitch with the left leg bending awkwardly
  • Set up a render anyway > in the middle of the render I realized that I didn't add any texture or colors to it
  • Added a plane, a color to yokai and to the plane as well
  • Started new assignment with a tutorial on how to take separate parts and put them together into one figure
  • The tutorial is being done with an ogre drawing from a character development book excerpt
  • Downloaded the images to downloads folder > set up the four viewing windows in c4d and imported the images to front - back - right, resized them to 1000px so that they were all the same size
  • Brought in cylinder into the perspective view and shaped it in the different views so that it fit the drawings as best as possible with a horizontal of 10 and a vertical of 10
  • (Blog)

155 - 200 Break


200 -210 PM

  • Organizing the files
  • Demonstration on bridging > Select both objects > Object > connect + delete > now they're one object > Structure > Bridge > now connect from plane to plane btw the two objects

210 - 310 PM

  • Finished setting up the arm according to the 3 drawings (front, back, side)
  • Aligned arm with the left side
  • Saved new file as ogre_bridged.c4d
  • Connected the two objects and then bridged them
  • They didn't look quite right when I did it though so I decided ti redo it
  • I saved the file and reopened the ogre.c4d file
  • Saved the file as ogre_bridged2.c4d
  • Connected the two objects and then bridged them
  • It looked much better, the only tweak that I did was the indent in the underarm cavity
  • Saved file
  • Saved new file named ogre_symmetry.c4d
  • Used the knife tool to cut down the center of the front and back (it's not an exact match on both sides but very close to the y axis line)
  • Deleted the left side
  • Saved file
  • Tried using symmetry but it seems to be a selected option, and tried mirror tool which didn't work (though I only tried it once)
Hw:

  • Drawing of new character to follow this project (due by Thursday Oct 14th)
