3D Class Week 05 Modeling A Prop

For this week's assignment we had to model a simple prop. Because of how little experience I have with modeling, I decided to model the cannon whose reference was given to us.

Setting up my scale in Maya:

And then I modeled my cannon following the instructional videos, keeping it under 900 tris:

2D Class Week 02 The Art of Brian Froud

This weeks artist was Brian Froud, an illustrator and concept artist that worked on movies like Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal . Something about his work makes me think of the Sandman comics by Neil Gaiman. I think he would have been perfect for that series.

Don Bluth directed this film and he's known for other movies very similar in style: An American Tale, The Land Before Time, All Dogs Go To Heaven, Thumbelina, Anastasia and Titan A.E . 2. Artistically, what did you like about this film? The animation style of Don Bluth films is something I've always liked, though it's a little hard to pinpoint why.

This means that a lot of the animator comes through in the animation and in the mistakes, kind of like early Disney films animated by Milt Kahl (although he never made mistakes, guy was an animation God). It's so much easier to see the artist in them, if that makes sense. 3. What was Mrs. Brisby's husbands name? Jonathan. As we heard many times from everyone calling her Mrs. Jonathan Brisby. (Which is weird, to be referred to as your spouses full name.)
