Quick update on the Arabian Modelling Project.
I have modelled the stairs, window and wide door, coming along very well indeed.
Next stage is to start finalising the next building.
Really enjoying this project and learning a lot of cool new techniques - it's fun to see how I would have created certain objects, as to how the tutor is teaching it, and even better when I crack on ahead, as I'm getting used to how he is creating each, so I know without watching (which is the aim of learning).

Found this original layout that I created for the Mansion project a few years back - much neater than my recent scans (somehow?). Lol! Obviously no measurements, but nicely laid out. 😎🤓🧐

05/08/2024

Here's a quick update on how the Arabian Model Project is going.
Everything is boxed out for positioning, I have started to create assets - which are re-usable to save time modelling.
Textures are looking awesome - on the parts that have texture.
Still a long way to go, but coming along nicely. 😎🤓🧐😁

30/07/2024

Just started a new project - creating an Arabian themed building in Blender. I also plan on creating an animation around the scene afterwards.
Following a course on Udemy for the creation of the set - but the animation will be my own ideation.

Have just finished modelling a retro toaster in Maya 2023, whilst following along to a Hard Surface Modelling course on Udemy.
This was very tricky indeed - and took way longer than it should have done (Maya definitely isn't meant for modelling, very buggy).
It turned out really well though considering, just some minor pinching in the topology.
Next section is modelling a game controller.... 🤓🤨🤪
Will start that another day though, give my eyes a rest from the screen. Lol!

24/07/2024

Just designed my own business cards - adapted a template from Canva using my brand.
Be a while until I can afford to have these printed officially, but very happy with how they have turned out.
Proper geeked over having a QR code for my portfolio website. 🤓🧐😂🤣
Please share around - especially for anybody interested in having some bespoke digital media created, including videography/photography & animation/illustration. 🤞Thank you!

Finally finished measuring up the floor plans/uprights. Added a shaded area for the depth of the basement, as I researched how deep a pool needs to be for a high diving board 3m up. Compensated for that and rounded it up to 4m deep (rest of the basement is 3m).
I can finally import these as templates into AutoCAD and create official, precise plans. 👍🏽😎🖤😁🤓

19/07/2024

Just added a quick 'double up' animation into the final compilation video.
It shows a rose version of the wine bottle and gives a way to showcase a variant.

18/07/2024

I have just completed the Wine Bottle modelling/animation course, really enjoyed studying it!
Here is a compilation of the animations I created throughout compiled together (This I done in After Effects, it wasn't part of the course. Created the motion graphics also and I am very happy with the outcome). Music by Calvin Clavier, sourced from Pixabay.com. Sound on!

18/07/2024

Here's the first animation, just a quick reveal (well, maybe over emphasised the 'quick' Lol!).
I will work on the other three animations tomorrow.😎🤓🧐

17/07/2024

First test render, to check lighting.
Now to begin animating the reveal. 😎🤓🧐

17/07/2024

Quick update: Glass and wine liquid are textured. Infinite studio modelled and next I need to create the light set up.
Coming along very well! 😎🤓🧐

16/07/2024

Working through my next 3D product modelling project.
Just wanted to share progress, as I am very happy with my graphic design skills in creating the label and cap (I did use a template with the label on Canva, but amended it enough to make it my own).
Can't wait to see the final renders with this one. 😎🤓

15/07/2024

Next set of drawings measured. Just one more set to go (but as you can see by the unmeasured picture, that’ll take a while 😵‍💫😏😂🤣), then I can import into AutoCAD and create official, accurate templates to export to 3ds Max and model.
Really looking forward to seeing how this will turn out. 👍🏽😎🤓

13/07/2024

As promised, here is a comparison between the original final render, and the post processed version - as much as the final render looked awesome, the post version is tons better still.

11/07/2024

I have just completed the 3D Product Modelling course, and it was excellent!!
Really enjoyed following along to it and learned a ton of cool stuff along the way.
I have posted my final render here, but in future, I shall do some post production work on it and show you the amazing difference it makes - and it already looks fantastic IMO. 😎🤓😁

11/07/2024

Update on the product modelling course.
Textures finished and ready to create the studio and lighting.

10/07/2024

Currently working on a product modelling course.
Coming along well!

07/07/2024

I’m going back to an old architectural design I created after graduating. Writing in precise measurements, ready to take into AutoCAD.
Then once I’ve recreated the plans in AutoCAD, I’ll be transferring to 3ds Max to model in 3D, texture with Substance Painter, and finally put into Unreal engine 5.4 to create an interactive virtual reality experience.
It’s going to be a huge project, but when it’s completed. 🤯😱😎👍🏽🖤
I shall post regular updates as I go through.

02/07/2024

Completed the advanced course now too!! Noice!
Wish I had learned this masking colour effect before I modelled my 2D character in the previous course, would have saved a ton of hassle. Lol! (Still need to animate him, but been busy today, and I'm in no hurry to do so, as I need to start getting back to my 3D projects).
This was an excellent course yet again, really enjoyed studying it and have learned a ton more cool techniques for making my 2D animations tons better.
Now I just need to create my own projects, utilising these new found skills, and put it out there for clients to hire me, to do the same with theirs - hopefully this shall increase my chances of getting hired 🤞🤞🤞🤞😉.

02/07/2024

Here's the penultimate animation from the advanced motion graphics course, nearly there, and I can study some 3D courses that I've been eagerly waiting to try. 😎🤓🧐

02/07/2024

Cool! 👍🏽😎

02/07/2024

Excellent tutorial! 👍🏽😎

02/07/2024

Shall have to check this one out. 👍🏽🖤😎

02/07/2024

I have completed the course 'After Effects Motion Graphics | Motion Hero' on Udemy.com.
It was a fantastic course with a brilliant tutor. I learned lots of excellent tips and tricks during my studies, and really enjoyed it.
I have still as yet to complete the final animation, but I have posted here the snapshots of each emotion I created for the model I made.
I shall be busy tomorrow animating, and will post something here when finished - Watch this space!! 😎🤓🧐
(Also, I can finally crack on with the advanced course and finish that too, Noice!).

01/07/2024

Currently working through the final section of this basic motion graphics course, and instead of modelling the character provided, I set myself the challenge of re-creating my avatar from my iMessages.
It isn't perfect, but it's functional, and good enough for my first try.
There's still a lot to work on, as I now have to create all the emotions and mouth expressions for him, but thought I'd share this quick animation test. 😎🤓🧐🤔😉

28/06/2024

Just finished this run cycle animation, only 1 more section to go and I've completed the intermediate course - then I can carry on and complete the advanced course.

28/06/2024

Just finished this run cycle - although, not loopable because of the leaves falling, Lol!
Getting very close to finishing this course and enjoying it a lot.

25/06/2024

Just finished this cool walk cycle - made it slightly different to the taught version on the course (Had things not work the same, so had to improvise - lucky I know how to animate and use After Effects, would've been very frustrating otherwise).
This was from the previous course, from the same tutor, which I thought best finish before I complete the more advanced course of his. Lol! 🤓😎🧐

Here's a quick animation that I created whilst following along to the advanced motion graphics course on Udemy. There are still several short animations to create with this course, and I am enjoying studying it, learning lots of cool new techniques. #stormmediaproductions #adobeaftereffects #2danimation #motiongraphics #udemy

A quick something I put together whilst studying this advanced motion graphics course. A cool title reveal with an animated gradient back ground. #stormmediaproductions #aftereffects #motiongraphics #2danimation #udemy #animatedtitle

Just finished the next animation from this course. It's an awesome course and I am really enjoying it. Learning some cool new techniques which will massively increase my 2D animation skills, and I can offer a load more to clients, much more appealing animation. 😎🤓🧐 #stormmediaproductions #adobeaftereffects #2danimation #motiongraphics #udemy #upgradeanimation

Here's the second (of many to come - in time, as I study the course) animation. The character animation was provided, and the original appearing speech bubbles. What I created afterwards was how they animate from their appearance in flat 2D, and fly into a 3D spinning collection of speech bubbles around him. I followed along to the tutorial, but, as ever, put my own bit of creativity into it too. I'm looking forward to creating the next animations, as I go through this course. 🤓😎😁 #stormmediaproductions #AdobeAfterEffects #2danimation #motiongraphics #3dupgrade #udemy
