PROGRESSION


Fig 1.1 Character Design (Click here for details)

This task is a continuation of the previous one. We gradually improved our character by adding clothing and textures in this task. Since I am not yet very proficient with ZBrush, I looked up many YouTube tutorials while working on this assignment.

I used the Abstract and Move functions to create the basic model of the clothing, and then sculpted on it with various brushes. To ensure the patterns on the clothing were clearly displayed, I used four layers of subdivision, which made my model's poly count very high.

I add some red, blue and yellow color on the skin so it looks more realistic. I also add some texture on the bag so it won't look so empty.

FEEDBACK

Week 13: Too wide between the eyes and nose. Fix the flow of the dress. Adjust the hair and leg. The face is too serious, use move tool to adjust it.

Week 14: Can add some texture on the bag. Smoothen the hand and socks. The emboss on the dress is too strong, smoothen it or just colored it. The flow on the clothing should use mask by cavity to color. Face can be smaller cause the face looks like a boy now.

REFLECTION

In this task, I learned how to texture models to make them look more realistic. I also picked up many techniques for using ZBrush. During the process of completing this assignment, my ZBrush frequently crashed while saving files because the polypoints of my character's clothing were too large. To solve this problem, I had to constantly use Dynamesh and ZRemesh. I am very grateful to Mr. Kannan for the feedback he provided during the assignment, which benefited me greatly.

Gestalt principles aim to show how complex scenes can be reduced to more simple shapes. Principle of similarity : The brain crafts a link between elements of a similar nature. Principle of continuation : The human eye prefers to see a continuous flow of visual elements rather than separated objects. Principle of closure : The human eye will fill in missing visual information when the shape is incomplete. Principle of proximity : The process of ensuring related design elements are placed together . Principle of figure/ground : Objects are in the foreground or the background . Law of symmetry & order : This law states that elements that ar

TAN YING YI 0362425 DESIGN RESEARCH METHODOLOGY INSTRUCTIONS Final Presentation Slides Presentation Link Google Drive Link . Weekly Reflections Week 1:  Briefing. Week 2: We need to start our work. Week 3:  Problem statement needs to be shorter.  Week 4:  Decorate my slides. Week 5: Task 3 briefing. Week 6: Decide using what method to do research. I decided to use the survey to collect data. Week 7: Need to think more about the questions as the survey is for serious Genshin Impact players. Week 9: Don't have much progress, no feedback. Week 10: Task 4 briefing. Week 11: Since this research is for serious Genshin Impact players, the duration from six months to one year, one year above that was good enough. Look at the question and think which question is related to which research question. Week 12: I haven't done it, so no feedback. Week 13: Landscape layout will be better for the slides. Use brighter color for the slides so that it looks cleaner. Avoid wordy slides. If I don

I have gained an understanding of how to analyze others' works, comprehend design concepts, and implement the knowledge gained in my own creations.  I enjoy the process of creation, exploring different mediums and techniques to express my ideas, which I find immensely enjoyable. Experimenting with various design methods leaves me feeling fulfilled and happy. However, compared to the hands-on aspect of creating designs, I find the theoretical aspects of design, such as learning design principles, somewhat dull and obscure. Although these theoretical aspects are important, they can
