FLOAT AWAY

Alexandria Nalepa

This blog follows the process of my Senior Project for my undergrad in Simulation, Animation, and Gaming at Eastern Michigan University. I will be modeling a fantastical hot air balloon with two characters riding on it, and showing the character modeling process through video tutorials. I hope to entertain and educate through my art, and I'm excited to put my passions and hard work out into the world!

With all the cold weather and snow, I was able to get a lot done at home. Here's the character mostly textured; only her hair still has to be worked on. I'll be painting her hair on with an opacity map, making each plane look like a flat clump of hair with many strands on it. The layering effect will make the hair look more natural than the blocky pony tail on the character that's already in the balloon. I also need to troubleshoot the seams, which are very obvious at the wrists, neck, and the top of the head under the hair, and the shininess of her skin. Hope to have a very real looking character by next week!

About

My name is Alexandria Nalepa and I'm a Simulation, Animation, and Gaming student at Eastern Michigan University. I have professional experience in stage production and live musical performance, and I use my skills in the physical world to better my work in 3d. In my current line of  work I specialize in stage light programming and design, as well as graphic design, stage setting, and sound production. In my major, I specialize in character modeling and environment design, specifically modeling, but I also work in textures and lighting/rendering.
