Even though I wasn’t able spend as much time on these pieces as I would have liked due to health issues this term, I’m happy with the results and how much I learnt.
For 3D animation, I was able to get more familiar with body mechanics and figure out what I want to improve on going forward. I also learnt a lot with the acting shot, including a lot of nuance with how the face should move when expressing emotion and talking.
For the experimental project, I was able to learn so much of Marvelous Designer and make a head start on creating the clothing for my FMP characters. While I would have also liked to have experimented with some visual styles, I’m glad the project allowed me to experiment with a new software that I might have felt too time stressed to do otherwise. I also really enjoy using Marvelous Designer despite the difficulties I had with it, and seeing the similarities between the interface and my experience physically making clothes and clothing patterns.
