Tiny Paper Cars App

So I finally finished my Paper Cars App, ie. the advert I explained in my previous post, using the iphone and cars. First time using After Effects. I am real proud of myself :)

Officially a Visual Effects & Concept Design student @StaffsUni :D

Hey everybody :)

I'm terribly sorry that I have been away, but as I said in my previous post, I was awaiting a response from Staffordshire University to study the subject of my dreams!


And guess who got accepted?? :D


So I am writing this post in the cosy town of Stoke On Trent :) Yipppeeeee! 


At the moment, I am modelling the iPhone 5 for a project. 



So of course, I haven't textured it yet, but that's what it looks like so far :) 

Before this, basically on the first day, we were given the project of modelling the Delorean from Back To The Future, and after that, two other vehicles.

Now I have modeled a vehicle before, my beloved Chevrolet Camaro. I modeled that beauty like a pro! But it took quite some time. So when I heard we had to model 3 vehicles in one week, I was like, "are you crazy?!". Then the tutor surprised me and told us we're doing it paper-craft style. 

Paper-craft means modeling a cube with a few indents, taking a .jpeg and "pasting" it onto your model. It is as simple as it sounds. Here's my Delorean: 



Do you see what I mean when I say I "pasted" the picture on there?

Below is the paper-craft version of my baby:



The other vehicle I did was Ratchet the medic from Transformers.

In my curriculum, we are expected to do both 2D and 3D work for two years and the third year, we get to specialize. I however, already know I want to do 3D. I cannot draw well, so I don't like it very much. I am more of a 3D-orientated person. But hey, I was told by my tutor, that it's helpful to know all sides to the pipeline, pre-production, production and post-production.


I can't wait to start learning about Nuke and After Effects! The things one is capable of doing in that program is amazing and I cannot wait to show off some of my skills :)


I love the UK. I miss my family though. A lot. But I keep busy to keep my mind off of home and hopefully the days will go by faster and I get to see them again.


While I'm here, I really want to tour Manchester again. It is one of, if not thee most, beautiful city in the UK! I must see it again!


Anyway, that's all I have to say/show for now. When my 2D skills start to excel, only then will I post up pictures of what I've done lol. Don't want to embarrass myself now.


Ciao.
