Weekly Reflection 4

What went well?

I feel like this week was probaly my most successful week so far. At the begining of the week i started to use Maya and learn how to make a low poly character with in it i would like to say that i’ve gotten a lot better at using Maya and knowing how to use it. By the end of the week i have the low poly character that i’m pretty happy with i think for my first time making one in Maya it’s not to bad of course i have not finished it, i have not put anything on it yet for i did not know what i wanted it to become, i have a few ideas of what it could be: A angel paladin, holy knight, armored demon. All of these ideas look real cool and i want to do one of each (one good, one evil) but i don’t know which one to start with i’m curently leaning more towards the paladin because i personly think it looks really good and i have some ideas of what i want the armor to be and the colors also it would be a good one to start with for it is armor and i wouldn’t have to add anything to the actual body (like horns).

What went bad or could have been improved?

The main thing that could have been improved was the feet of my low poly character i don’t know why but i just couldn’t get them to be how i wanted i tried pretty much everything to try and make them more even and foot like but it would not work so it kind of looks like shoes ish i find it annoying how they wouldn’t go the way i wanted but it’s probaly something i missed or did wrong.

What do you plan to do next week?

Hopefully the armor of much character and have it finished so that i can go on to the next one of the opsite thing.

Idea for my character/armor -

For my first character that i’m going to make to ‘heaven’ side first so probably a paladin or knight i think i might give my character bigger wings if i figure out how to do do that because large wings on a knight or paladin i think makes them look/seem more powerful and higher up compared to other ones. I really like this clean, bright/royal color look of them and would like to add this to mine. But i do also like this fallen paladin but that would probably be part of the evil side if i was you do it.

Brave Research -

I was looking at brave as research to the moment to hair because hair in the movie is quite noticeable for the people in it have a lot of hair and there is horses and bears. watching the trailer and focusing on the hair you can see the flow of it nicely and the curly hair version as well for the main character has curly hair. the good thing about this movie is that it shows you varieties of hair of animals and humans so you can see how they are during different movements

While making my low poly character i decided to look at other low poly things and low poly islands caught my eye. i think the floating island look is pretty cool, it reminds me of the ordinary world mind map at the beginning. I prefer the island with the buildings, windmills, etc because it shows life and you could/image animation happening like lights turning on, a train moving or water flowing and i think that makes it better cause its just that extra thing that draws people to it. Also it makes for good art work and could be used for a game about exploring or something like that which would be pretty cool. If i was to make my own one of these i think i’d do a heaven hell like thing so the top of the island is this angel temple thing and underneath that in the island there would be this lava temple. If i finish my character a bit early i may try to make a low poly island to match it.

So i have made a the base of my low poly character and am moving onto the armor and in doing so i want to mirror the plane so i’m making armor on both arms as show in the video on the right but for some reason when i try to do it, it doesn't work properly, it puts the rotation and movement thing in the middle but there is no plane on the other side and at the moment i don’t know why.

[cngamesfmp]

Something i’m not happy about with the low poly character that i’m making is the feet i keep trying to tweak them but i can’t seem to be able to get rid of the bump in them i’ll try to smooth it out and make it less noticeable but i don’t think i’ll be able to get rid of it unfortunately. but that is something to remember for next time.

(These are screenshots from the video i was watching to learn how to make the character because i forgot to take picture of this process)

I have finished the base of my character and have to say that i’m pretty pleased with it, for my first time trying to make a character in Maya i feel like it’s not to bad there is some tweaking i want to do on the character like it’s waist and head a bit but as an overall not to bad, i found making it quite enjoyable and this ‘checkpoint’ rewarding and i feel like i’m improving and i’m finding Maya easier.

I’ve always found this good vs evil, god vs satan, demons vs angels and what comes out of it interesting, this firey dark evil against this holy light side. I find the art work that come out of this really good and the creativity of some of them mesmerizing. The games that come out of the subject are quite good as well. Now i don’t really play single player games but i have watched others play these games and found it intertaining. Now the religious side to this can be quite a touchy subject but it does hold a big part in this for this started with religion very far back when everyone believed in god and those thing and went to church every week to pray and be clensed. And if you sinned you would get ill and go to hell and things of that sort. Which now a days those things are used for ideas for games, art or movies. of course some still do believe in that but its much less than it used to be. When thinking about my idea for my fmp there is a high chance i might do something about this for there are a lot of things you can do with this for example i could make a demond of some sort and a angel or holy knight/palidin, or a creature version like a hell hound or imp kind of thing and a pegasus or somthing else.
