3D – Assignment 3: Part 1

Hello! I’m finished with assignment 2 and I have sent it it for evaluation. This week the class has started working on assignment 3. In assignment 3 we will be working on creating humanoid 3D models. Being humanoid doesn’t necessarily mean that they have to be humans, basically a humanoid is something that has an appearance resembling a human being. (Two arms, two legs, one head hopefully all attached to a torso, that kind of thing.)

The first thing to do when creating a character is to come up with a concept for the character which you will be modeling. The concept should shed some light on what kind of character you are making, if it is a male or female, young or old. Once the concept is done we need to create a turnaround of the character. A character turnaround is drawings of your character from different angles often in a “T-pose” a pose where the character is stood with his or her arms spread out. The character turnaround is used to see the character from all it’s different angles. This means it will be much easier to model the character since you see all of it’s sides. Here is a turnaround of the character which I drew(It also includes an action pose):

We will not however be modeling our own character which we created concepts and turnarounds for. Ludwig Lindstål is going to be making a model of my character. And I in turn will be making a model which Simon Strandh has made a concept and a turnaround of. It was a bit of a surprise when the teacher said that we would not be making models of our own concepts, everyone thought that they would be. So that was a bit of fun. I’m a little bit upset though since I was very pleased with my concept and turnaround. 🙁

Intelligence & Psychology

Highly intelligent, but primarily live a nomadic lifestyle. Thus Bounty hunting and smuggling is a very popular job amongst the offworlders who have moved on to search for work in other regions of space.

Appearance

Urdu’nak has a disproportionately small head set on large shoulders. He has long spindly legs with very sharp angles. His hands are protected my massive gauntlets which reach up to his elbows.

Urdu’nak’s race come is a very large array of shapes and sizes. His race is heavily into body modification, since they are so technological advanced they can change just about anything about the shape of their body, of course with some restrictions. It is rumored that no one actually knows what an adult of Urdu’nak’s race looks like.

Religion / Culture

Urdu’nak follows no religion likewise a overwhelming majority of his race. There is however a small cult which has since left the home planet by hooking themselves to a passing comet, presumably they are still alive.
