Week One

Monday

Today was the first introduction to the Building of Character faces module and brief. The task is to model our own heads using 3D Studio Max. We started the lesson watching a tutorial showing the beginning stages of modelling in Photoshop which was then followed by taking digital photographs of our own faces both front and side view, we could then go on to begin the first stages of modelling on our own faces.

The first stages take place using Photoshop and these prepare the face for modelling, looking at both photographs of our face we had to follow any lines and creases on the face using a blue paint brush strokes, and then using red brush stokes we had to follow the lines of the face creating a wire frame look over the face.
I am enjoying the first stages of modelling and coping well with the module so far, I'm looking forward to progressing through the module and think this brief is very interesting. I am looking forward to seeing the final finished product.



Tuesday

This was the first introduction to the YMCA side of the module, after reading the brief we got ourselves into groups of four and carried out some initial research on the YMCA to get an overall view of what the Chelmsford YMCA is all about and the services they have to offer.

we looked at the Chelmsford YMCA website http://chelmsford.ymca.org.uk/
