Assignment 1 - Exploration, Concept Art, and Character Design
Participation (Due Friday, Jan 18 by Midnight)
Deliverable Section A (Due Tuesday, Jan 22, 5:00pm)
Section B (Due Wednesday, Jan 23, 5:00pm)
Design your own character or find a piece of concept art that you like. If using a found design, augment the character design by drawing over the piece - make it your own, add something unique to it. You will be in charge of modeling, rigging, and animating this character throughout the course. Pick something that is achievable at your skill level. Create a PDF that includes the concept art and describes the character attributes, the world they live in, and their goals within this world. This world building exercise should be all original material.
To make modeling the character easier, consider making an additional plan of the character from both a side and a front view. This is helpful for comparison when modeling (especially for box modeling but also for sculpting). Remember to use guidelines to keep your character's proportions consistent! Below is an example from online.
