iPod - critique

I modelled this iPod in Blender 2.49 quite early on in my use of 3d modelling software when I was still when learning.

Earth

Created in Blender 2.5

Virtual environments group project - video

Here is the video created for the group project of the virtual environments module. This is a shorter version of the complete animation we created as we felt that this version worked better as it was more concise. The full animation included a walkthrough after this section.

3D Character Animation

For this module we are tasked with creating a villain to star in a new children's TV show for the 7-11 age group.

Virtual environments group project

The group project for this module involves creating an animation for the Guildhall in Finchingfield.

Virtual environments

In this module there were two tasks. The first one was to create a model of my head with the use of some video tutorials and the second was a group project to create an animation about a Guildhall in Finchingfield.

Chess set render

Here is a quick chess scene made in blender 2.5. To practice modelling I decided to model a chess set as most of the pieces are quite simple shapes. Some of the pieces had harder shapes and I had a bit of trouble with the Rook and the Queen but they turned out OK in the end. The bishop and Knight also caused problems and haven’t turned out that great, I simplified the design for the Knight but the Bishop looks a bit square at the top.

IPhone render

Here is a render of an iPhone I modelled in blender 2.5. I decided to do a product visualisation type shot showing the front and back iPhone on a clean background.

TARDIS – Work in progress

TARDIS modelled in blender 2.5. This is another personal project I decided to model this as it is an iconic object but also has quite a simple shape.

VW Samba Bus - Work in progress

VW Samba Bus modelled in blender 2.5. This wasn't created for any of the modules at university it was just a personal project. Shown are renderings of the model before adding the materials with basic lighting and AO (ambient occlusion).

3D Modelling and animation

This module involved using 3D Studio Max to create a 30 second animated trailer for a James Bond film of choice. I chose Casino Royale as I originally intended to base the trailer around the poker scene as this makes up most of the movie. I decided that this may not be a good choice as it would require lots of character animation that would not be good for my first time using the software. I also thought that it may be better to choose action packed scenes such as car chases and explosions as this is what is expected from a Bond movie so would be more likely included in a trailer.
