Mindmap

-

Like any project, I made a mind map to organise my ideas. Although I have already made one on paper, I wanted to recreate it on pc just so everything is in the same place. To make it, I used a website called Miro.

I was able to make it a lot neater on pc than I had done on paper and I was also able to highlight the areas that I will be looking at for my project easier. I put down all my possibilities for the project onto it but changing the lines of the things I will be focusing on to green on each branch (except programs).

Guinevere's 3D Pir

-

  After the Guinevere model was complete, we got her 3D printed. We originally sent her entire body to print as a whole model, however the arms were not printed properly. Despite this, the rest of the body was very well done.  The supports need to be removed and the arms replaced. In order to replace the arms, we will reprint the arms separately. We will then remove the original arms and add on the newly printed ones.  I'm really happy with how she turned out and having her as a physical item after working on her for so long is very satisfying. I wish to get Arthur printed as well but may not be able to due to lack of time.

Guinevere Update

  My Guinevere character is now practically complete. Since the last post that I did on her character, I have completely finished off her head and added the pipework that goes down her torso.  Her head was certainly a challenge as I wanted to make it as realistic as possible. The hardest part for me to do was probably around the mouth. Whilst I was making the head, like with the rest of the body, I kept going back to Turbosmooth to check if everything looked okay. As I kept checking, the mouth never really looked correct. It took my a lot of time to get it to it's current state. The pipework was also more difficult than I thought it was going to be. Because the dress was enlarged from the body, it meant that it no longer matched the model sheets. This led to the pipework now being moved out further as well. I still kept referring back to the model sheet. Also to make it similar to the model sheets, I followed the breasts and allowed a large enough gap between them for the pipe to s

Tidying polygons

-

When it came to working on Arthur more, I first needed to smooth his pelvis however, when I first tried to do this, I felt like I did it very messily. In order to smooth his pelvis, I kept cutting the polygons to make more edges and vertices wherever I could in order to make it appear smoother. This made it look very untidy and I felt like it would cause problems when it comes to texturing his model.  Therefore I decided to completely redo his pelvis area to make it much cleaner but still keeping the smoothness.  In order to do so, I had to completely remove the messy polygons, cap the holes and re-add them through a lot of cutting and moving of vertices. It took a decent amount of time to fix this part of the model however I felt it was necessary to help me later on. I do also feel like it looks much better now when comparing it to what it was before.
