Dice it up

For the first Digital Arts project i've decided to develop a concept around a dice. Basically it will be the inner workings of the human mind in six steps relating back to how a multimedia and digital arts piece is developed from concept scetchs and ideas to final product and production.

So in a nut shell the six sides of a dice in the animation will open up and display a number of quick animations. The sequence will be played out in order from 1 to 6 with each side like a portal into the mind of a multimedia and digital artist's mind.

any comments or questions welcome!

A Little about Little old Me!

Just to let you know a little about me, if you interested that is...

Im very much into 3D modeling and animation although im still only a novice/intermediate at it i love to experiment and muck around with 3D characters and models in my spare time when im not playing golf!

I just a number of programs to develop my 3D stuff partictuly Maya7 which is currently, or as far as i know, industry standard so hopefully by the time i start looking for jobs studios will still be using it. The other programs i use include, PhotoShop and Illustrator CS, After Effects, Flash (although i really don't like that program, Final Cut, and a number of others that i couldn't be bothered mentioning.

Personally i love Multimedia and Digital arts and totally up to us (most of the time) to the way we approach most of the briefs although i know it wouldn't be like that when i get out to the industry but i suppose i'll just enjoy it while it lasts!

Anyway enough of little of boring me! hope you enjoy my blog

Btw...i called it the inner workings of a golf ball because...yep you guessed it...i love to spoil a good walk with a bag of funny shaped sticks and small round things called golf balls. Though i have to admit the concept of the game is really stupid...You have this MASSIVE area to hit a small golf ball into a tiny little hole a few hundred meters away and not to mention you have to do it 18 times a round and with the lowest amount of stocks! STUPID i say but incredible addictive and not to mention INCREDIBLY ANNOYING!!! but what can i say i love it! LOL!

Have a good one!

Moving Image: Assignment 1 - Still Image

The first assignment for DIS3903 is to add still images to a supplied audio clip. The audio clip is a small part of a longer clip taken from a comedian rambling on about the US president and gaining control of the oil fields.

My chosen approach to the assignment is to us 3D graphics. The words will be represented with 3D character of washing machines dressed up in different clothing and also represented using different models.

Because the audio clip is based on saddam the environmental setting will be set in the desert to represent the desert landscape of Iraq.

The assignment prevents us from creating anything that moves but we are still able to create a semi moving image using about a quarter of the frames.

To research for the character designs, the description from the audio will in provide the visual influence to research and model the characters for the assignment.
