3D Modelling Evaluation
For this unit we were asked to model 6
different objects either related to each other or nothing to do with each
other. I decided to keep it simple and keep the models related; my first idea
was to create 6 different objects from Hunger Games but then I decided it would
be more interesting to re-create a scene so I chose Alice in Wonderland. Alice
in Wonderland is a popular American fantasy film, which was remade in 2010 by
Tim Burton, with his crazy visuals within films I knew this would be fun to
make. I had a look at a few different images of Alice in Wonderland tea party
and knew that was what I wanted to make it was fun and recognisable. When the
decision was made to re-create this scene I knew I would have to make more than
6 models. This was a challenge for me, I was a beginner on the software Cinema
4D so I knew I had to push myself and put the effort in to learn the software if
I wanted to make this. I took it upon myself to get the software and practice
at home, so I made Rapunzel’s tower this helped me understand the construction
side of Cinema 4D and how to make it easier for me when modelling.
The scene I made is fun a vibrant with
different models to look at including cupcakes, rabbit table, mad hatters hat,
caterpillar and many other interesting objects that relate to Alice in
Wonderland. I used Tim Burton’s version of the film as inspiration for my own
model as I need it to be recognisable but have my own style and twist on the
models. I achieved this by creating similar looking models but putting them in
the place they would be, for example Mad hatters hat is above his chair to
create the Illusion he’s there and that’s where he would sit.
I encountered many problems whilst working
on this project. I may have put the time and effort in to learn how to use the
software but there is so many things you can do on Cinema 4D so when making
some of the tricky models like mad hatters hat I found it hard to make the
fabric cloth around the hat but I worked around it and had some help of my
tutor, from that help that allowed me to explore even more and learn more
skills. When I began to create my models
I had made a Tim Burton style table, I had a lot of help with this but once
rendered we realised it was way too many polygons so I had to come up with a
different ideas to make this much easier, this was just one of the things I had
to deal with through out this process.
At the beginning of this assignment I
remember telling my tutor this was one of the worst units we has personally and
that I could not use the software, I now love working with Cinema 4D. I am
proud of my progress in the software and how much time and effort I applied to
this unit. I took the brief, an expanded on what we had to do for our final
project making 21 models not including copied models, this shows the work and
time I’ve put in, I also managed to finish the unit ready for the deadline.
