Toolkit 2D - Inclined Planes

 Toolkit 2D - Inclined Planes

Within a perspective grid, there is a way to create shapes at an incline. Due to the way perspective grids are made with lines making up the grid, objects can be placed at an angle originally not accounted for by the lines within the perspective grid.

Firstly, I implemented this within a 1 point perspective grid. To start off, we construct a shape, with lines going between all the different corners inside of the shape.

After this, we can construct our inclined shape. In this instance, it is created at a 45 degree angle.
This style of incrementing can be done repeatedly. If we wanted something at a 22.5 degree angle, we could take the guidelines we just made here, and make more guidelines within those ones to calculate where exactly our shape should be. It is also worth it to note that every time this is done, the new rotated shape is smaller than the original. Because of this, it is worth it to make the original shape for the guidelines bigger to offset the way it sizes down.

Toolkit 3D - Character Sculpt Project

 Toolkit 3D - Character Sculpt Project Research and Thumbnails For the 3D side of toolkit, our project was to create a character from one of many briefs. With a specific style and inspiration I am already fond of, I chose brief number one: the Cybernetic Samurai. Looking at the brief I have chosen, it states that the character needs to be " A fusion of traditional samurai armour with futuristic robotic enhancements, glowing energy veins, and a mask that combines human features with mechanical parts." This is a lot of specific details to unpack, so I created a diagram of the different features that I could add to as I research. By treating these different sections as whiteboards, I can research them individually so that I have lots of ideas I could add into the thumbnails.  As usual with 3D modelling, I started with researching specific styles to use as inspiration. Style Research To start with, I began by looking at games before individual artists. I first looked at Bomb Rus...

Toolkit 3D - In-Engine 3D Character Modelling Process

 Toolkit 3D - In-Engine 3D Character Modelling Process This blog will include the timelapse, and timestamps referring to said timelapse with explanations. I normally take screenshots as I work, and annotate those, but I feel that I want to try a different method of documenting my process since screenshots can be disruptive. Firstly, as a refresher, my final design for my character is below. Normally, I would bring this into the 3D software so I could have the reference there, but I opted not to do this. I find references in ZBrush to be disruptive more than anything towards my workflow, and I prefer working with the reference in another monitor whilst sculpting, rather than it being in the software. Here is the timelapse, which I will reference when giving a timestamp and explaining my process. STEP 1: CREATING THE MESH The Body For this model, I wanted to push myself out of my comfort zone a lot more than last project. Last time, I heavily relied on Blender, only really using ZBru...
