Inspiration
After looking up inspiration of character design on pintrest, this is what i liked the look of. I know my strengths when working digitally and creating a character like this will hopefully build on them.
From my reasearch I know that Disney and Disney pixar characters are very popular and well remembered in the animation world. So this is what I'm thinking towards for my character, as I will enjoy doing it.
A completely separate idea of a character I had was something like Baymax or Genie. I wanted to look into shapes as I thought they would be easier to animate. Character animation is something I’ve not done before, and humans can be quite complex to animate. But I will stick to creating a human character.
In this workshop we learnt about the fundamentals of 3D modelling, shading, texturing and lighting in 3D modelling programme, or a vector based 2D programme as well as 3D printing. Our brief was to produce a stylised 2D or 3D character; including all the stages of character production, from its design to creating a rigged model, ready to animate. Creating an animaton of our character.
