Week 1 Introduction

After watching the initial tutorial video, I am looking forward to creating a three dimensional representation of my head. The first step is to use a technique called Lens Distortion to produce a flat profile image of the side and front of the face. Once this is done I will then have to draw the contours of my face (known as a topology).
The topology stage is said to be important, so getting it right is very important. If areas of the face do not match up correctly in the topology then it can make the production of the head in 3ds impossible.

I have also been advised not to use to many quads (the individual squares used to produce the topology)as this can lead to difficulty in 3ds with stretching aspects of the head.

This initial stage will take place over the next seven days.

The second part of the brief is based on working within a group to produce an animation that relates to an artifact within the Museum of Power.

Over the next two weeks the group will have to visit the Museum to collect information on what the Museum stands for; and what machines and tools it hosts.

From the information gathered the group will then have to decide what service we would like to promote within the Museum.

I am looking forward to working within the group. This is because it will allow me to gain experience to working with different people and am hoping to broaden my imagination by what learning from how other people perceive their ideas.

Another aspect I am looking forward to is learning new, as well improved techniques that can be used in the future by studying how my group members produce their work.
