Explorations

EXPLORATIONS

Exploring my passion.

Essentially, the Explorations project gave me the opportunity to venture out on my own and pursue something out of my comfort zone.

For my Explorations project, I decided to explore 3D animation, which is something that I have always been scared of. I wanted to improve on my 21st century skill of Self-Direction, as I knew that I would get discouraged multiple times while attempting to do this.

PROCESS

I first downloaded Cinema 4D, which is an professional grade 3D modeling application. Anything you see on TV, the news, ESPN, all the graphics are probably done with Cinema 4D. I learned how to 3D model from YouTube tutorials, and these screenshots are small parts of my process.

FINAL PRODUCTION

I ended up having to redo much of my 3D animation multiple times, due to my files being corrupted 3 times, which basically means that they are unable to be opened and have to be deleted. I finished successfully, and I think I was satisfied with my 3D animation.

INFOGRAPHIC

I made the infographic using Photoshop, and I enjoyed the process a ton.

REFLECTIONS

I LOVED this process!! I love trying new things so this was extremely beneficial for me to learn due to all the trial and error. I know a lot about 3D animating, and now I can try to attempt other 3D animations.
