3D Animations

The objective of these animations is to build on what I have learned in Blender's 2D Grease Pencil software and carry it over to Blender's 3D side. The goal was to focus on modelling, rigging, and animating custom characters while implementing keyframe timing, lighting, and camera work.

Purpose

Software Used

Blender Versions 4.3.1, 4.3.2, 4.5, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator

Yellow Robot

This robot specifically helped me learn to build a character, learn Forward Kinetics (FK), Inverse Kinematics (IK), rigging the bones, learn timing of keyframes for a 3D character, and how slight movements of the body can bring a character's walk, run, etc, to life and give it more character.

Purpose

Software Used

Blender4.3.1

Yellow Robot Rigging

"Rewind" Custom Junk Robot

The prompt for creating this robot was that it had to be made out of scraps and junk. The purpose of these animations was to build upon what I learned from the yellow robot build and create a unique and visually appealing robot out of scraps, from the ground up. From concept to environments to rigging, keyframing, lighting, and camera movement. I was also encouraged to incorporate 2D elements into my 3D environment. On top of everything, when working on my avatar animations, I learned a lot about textures, texture painting, and how to work with nodes and the shader editor Blender offers.
