CAGD 493 Spring 2021 Blog post 1

 Weekly Blog Post 1

This week I have set small goals for this class because last semester I shot for the moon and was not able to complete my project. After getting a hang of my schedule between work and classes, I'm starting to adapt to when I need to be doing homework. For this first week, I was overwhelmed by the idea of CAGD 495. CAGD 432 rigging is also a little scary since I'm not very technical, but I hope to do well with help from my peers. After getting to know my team in 495 and the workload I will be handling, I am confident I can keep doing the small assignments I want to do for this class.

1. 3D animation, character climbing a ladder

2. 2D art, a portrait study

3. Digital art, designing logos and characters to find my style

4. Animating logos in Adobe After Effects; I want to learn this tool to land a job in a creative field.

I was able to practice some 2D art for 495. I was assigned to make the UI Icons for our game. I am currently working on the large potion. I want to fix the cork and make the glass more realistic. I appreciate any tips or feedback.

I sketched my ideas for the antagonists and the other icons.

I am not sure how to differentiate between the big potion and the small potion. I do not want to make a simple flask. I also want to explore more designs for the gem icon.
