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!

Perfecting the Pose

This week I spent some time tweaking and posing my characters. This has been a time-consuming process, with lots of very intricate adjustments. I realized that the auto-rig of my character model got the elbow position wrong pretty far back in the process. I fixed the issues that caused by deleting part of each arm just above the elbow and bridging the gap I created, making the geometry flow more naturally. I've finished texturing the scene, and after a little while away from the scene I might come back to the characters to see if there's anything else I want to add in when I look at the file with fresh eyes. That's why it's important to make some extra time in your schedule!

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.
