MDDN 241 Project 2B - Development

Real world environment 1: Here I chose paper as transit from character's world to real world

Real world environment 2

Character's world environment 1: Here was the previous paper environment I made for my character

Character's world environment 2: I will use color to highlight the end of my story

It is the color source where my character would be dyed accidentally

Testing on the fire and burned mark

The burned mark on the paper is a portal connecting the character's world to the real world

Testing on the smoke as well

MDDN 241 Project 2B Source Image

These are the precedent images for my animation. Three environments are all created by paper, where I started thinking the environment might suit for my paper made character. Besides, the transition between my character world and real world is the color, so I might only use white in my character's world.

MDDN 241 Project 2A - Material Testing

Tried the paper material on my character

The texture I chose which is paper

MDDN 241 Project 2A - 3 Objects for Inspiration

Material: Paper plane

Motion: Chinese fan
Meaning: USB drive

MDDN 251 Project 1 - First LED blending via Arduino

MDDN 241 Project1 Development - 5 Video test

I rendered the video which looked fine.

MDDN 241 Project1 Development - 4 Environment and Lighting

I created the environment that I wanted to show the sense of being in the outer space on a strange planet. 

MDDN 241 Project1 Development - 3 Materials test

Materials and textures were applied on my models, which gave me a closer glance to what render should be expected.

The materials I created as well as the textures I attached as my experiment

MDDN 241 Project1 Development - 1 Modelling

I was trying to model the organic and inorganic substances, which were shown quite differences, as my further approach to my final models.

MDDN 241 Project 1 - Final 3 Concepts and Precedents Image

Damien Hirst















My first concept is based on "For the Love of God", which inspired me of that we are not seeing every object as its nature, because we are normally misled by what it looks like. Therefore, I came up with this idea, which we take for granted for its transparent form without thinking of what is actually inside. I gradually reveal my object inward looking by object's own transformation, and try to narrate the truth of nature.

Concept 2 is also referred to nature-to-face, what happen in lower sphere actually reflects to upper sphere, which means the smaller is determined the bigger. In other words, what we can see is only the reflection and shadow of the nature. However, when the surface is carrying on too much, it sometimes would refuse to respond to the original, then ends up as revenge.

Concept 3 is about expansion. The core object absorbs every smaller object all around in order to meet up its desire of expanding. It constantly draws everything could reach and never feels satisfaction. Eventually, it is over burdened and ends up with explosion.

DSDN 142 More development on my Mouse Toy

I have being long time to fix all bugs and finally wrote it out. Also, I am using some clip art to instead of simple geometry. The only reason for this changing is to add more fun for my mouse toy. 

Start at the beginning.

Ally be killed by enemy soldier.

Ally crossing through. Yeah!!

For next step, I would like to browsing some sounds for it.
