Entering the world of VFX with Escape Studios
Posted: November 2, 2014 Filed under: Mark's Posts | Tags: #3D, #career, #escapestudios, #Nurbs, #topography, #VFX 1 CommentIn a career change, and adding 3D/VFX to my portfolio, I have enrolled at @EscapeStudios for a 18 week intensive course in Advanced 3D. This has been quite a learning curve, and I can’t quite believe how much I’ve learn in the past 5 weeks. Feels like months!
Here is a few examples of the projects I have covered in these past weeks:
Our first project looked at parenting parts together to make it easier to control groups of objects, like limbs, and position them to create poses – like this chap…
Many of the initial tutorials we went through used Nurbs and curves to build objects…
In fact we spent almost the whole first week on it!
Then there was a chair
Headphones…
And a Mustang plane… didn’t get as far as the propeller. We had to UV this later, that was fun!Probably the most interesting project was to model a face from scratch using reference images. The topography was fascinating, and then discovering the sculpting tool!Next up we start our own project…
