This Project so far

Overall this part of the project was actually really fun to work on, even though i struggled at first learning zbrush has been very useful and I know will come in handy.

To understand what’s happening scroll all the way to the bottom up 

the screen shots are meant to be read from top to bottom 

With my character in the end I went with the ‘cutesy’ yet ‘realistic’ /  cartoony look and I'm pretty proud of how it turned out in the end 

Peral my character is looked down upon by everyone around her for ‘’being a pig’’ the pig is a metaphor for her weight and how society views her 

But in reality Peral is very sweet and kind just misunderstood by everyone people judge her for her looks, how she looks..

I really wanted to talk about body weight and how bigger people are often judged by people in society to the point where they will do anything to change or lose hope with themselves.

they are seen as people who cant control themselves , Lazy , Ugly. - I know this feeling since I’ve felt in every time I stepped into a room when I was big I was always treated differently, I was bullied throughout my childhood / growing up for my weight which now as an adult at the age of 21 I am still dealing with the effects it had on me and my self esteem. 

Here I am trying to say not that big people should always stay big being heathy is key but at least how we as people how we view bigger people that has to change. 

as I talked about before I was once very big and it took a lot of effort and changing my whole mentality to lose all that weight 

people who are often big have mental health or physical issues that is why it is often difficult for them to lose weight and change is scary.

I worked really hard everyday even if I was fainting from every work out because of how hard it was on my heart because I have a heart condition called bicuspid aortic valve and if I push myself too much my heart can’t really take it anymore that’s why I often found exercising  very difficult but I was tired of being an outcast and with my mental health I flipped my mindset around to I will do it because big people their whole lives are belittled and bullied to the point when we lose our will and hope as humans we are just viewed as fat and ugly as soon as someone lays eyes on us.

it is not a fun life to live.

I was around 100kg plus which is around 220.462 lbs honestly I hated the scale so I never wanted to look and I still hate it. 

Once I lost my weight I realised how different everything became, Especially when you as a woman are fat its frowned upon even more so once I lost weight I seemed to be more accepted into society. 

Seeing both worlds is pretty crazy I went from being viewed as this pig character to finally being viewed as human 

My story is meant to leave everyone with a valuable lesson 

Don’t laugh Don’t point Don’t bully Don’t treat someone different because of their weight because after all they are human just like you and they too feel when you call them names or look at them differently.

Rigging

.

Here i rigged my character 

I moved the bones with by hitting G on the bones

For some reason my eyes came out black that is an issue I need to fix and will ask about

[animationyr2chris]

Object

Here I am making a chair in Blender 

My object is a chair and table because I will have a few classroom scenes and I will be having my character in classroom interacting with the chair and table 

[animationyr2chris]

Blender

click object

Shift click onto body 

cntrl p 

object 

First i had to UV unwrap her

Here i am texturing the pig 

Here I uv unwrapped the eye so I can start drawing on it 

I had to re make the eyes because the ploys were too big 

I had to re make the bow because the poly count was too big 

I just decided to keep the black colour because it looked better 

[animationyr2chris]

shift cntrl and alt for an easy easy cut 

To do this 

step one click the object you want to fit lets say its the arm 

you will click the arm and delete the top part where it will connect with the shoulders to delete it is shift cntrl and alt then go into geom and click mod top and click delete hidden 

then you will select the shoulders and delete the part the arm will connect to after that you go in to gemo and click delete hidden then you will merge down the shoulders to the arm then they will appear together but not connected to connect them you will click the brush tool known as zmoldeler hover over one of the very end of the edges where it cuts off and click space bar and click bridge and then two holes and then archs and lines then get rid of that then you click on one of the edges from the shoulder and then the arm the very end and it should connect them together then press shift to smooth out 

I merged all the pieces of the bow together 

here i am exporting to blender one by one

for some reason not all my objects came through 

went into zmesher and had to zmesh it all

So far ...

[animationyr2chris]

Making the school uniform - the skirt

bzm = opens zmodeler

wrong

Cntrl shift to delete all polygons 

I duplicated the shirt and hit bcv 

holding shift and then rotating the line made it so it was nice and even  

I realised later on that I need to merge the top and bottom together to do this

I went into zpluggin and clicked on sub tool master

then this happened 

which isn’t what I wanted 

Happened again .....

But i think i know the issue 

okay so it worked

but the pig wont show up now hmm 

Doing it this way didn’t seem to work for me so instead I had an idea 

what if I just added a triangle

Fixing a few things

Here I fixed the teeth 

I fixed the mouth the nose and face here using the brushes 

[animationyr2chris]

Making the school uniform -BOW

SO 

I realised my mistake 

I thought about the shapes I had and really looked at bows 

there seems to be two small squares and a little square in the middle with triangles 

like this 

so I decided to create this on zbrush 

[animationyr2chris]

Making the mouth

Using the ST standard Tool and ALT I craved out the mouth 

I wasn’t sure if I wanted her smiling or just a normal looking straight mouth but in the end I went with the normal looking one 

Making teeth 

I clicked on Mrgb I clicked on 

and then i clicked fill object 

shaping the teeth 

[animationyr2chris]

Fixing up little things as I see

Extended the nose using move tool 

Lifted her nose higher 

[animationyr2chris]

Making hooves

Using the move and clay tool I sculpted hooves
