Coursework 1 – Production 1: 3D character models – low, medium, high On completing the module, the student will be able to:
LO1: Understand the advanced Modeling concepts, creative and technical issues of 3D character’s modeling and texturing workflow.
LO2: Analyses and critically evaluate 3D character’s modeling and texturing requirements and identify possible problems.
LO3: Demonstrate a capability to choose the appropriate advanced techniques and tools as well as apply in practice the knowledge and skills to match project requirements and suggest effective problem solutions.
Coursework Introduction
This coursework enables you to develop your skills in using the reference images for proper modeling of a character in a scene.
In your 1st coursework, you are to make a 3D character and props required for it low, medium and high poly along with proper use of lights and materials.
Instructions
You are to use reference images of your choice to create low, medium and high poly models of a character of your choice.
Also create 8 props based on your planning process provided.
Low poly props should contain polygonal faces of average is 5-100, medium poly props should contain polygonal faces of average is 100-400 which high poly props should contain 500 Plus polygonal faces (Depend on shape and engine requirements).
For the character, low poly model should contain 50-500 polygonal faces while high poly models should contain 2000 Plus polygonal faces (Depend on shape and engine requirements).
2
You do need to pose the character for this module. However, you are to render the images properly with the use of proper lighting and use of relevant preset materials from different angles.
