Maths Week 2 Research Task

So, for todays & last Thursdays lesson we've had to research different types of numbers such as Natural Numbers, Square Numbers etc., and how they are used in the Animation, Games & VFX industry. 

Natural Numbers

  • Are a part of the number system from 1 to infinity. 
  • They don't include zero or negative numbers as well as fractions & decimals. Only positive integers.
  • Examples include 1, 2, 3 ,4....
Natural Numbers can be used in Games Design to display the amount of something is in a game. For example, Natural Numbers are used in health-bars to display the game character's health. This makes it easier for the player to see.




Rational and Irrational Numbers

  • Rational Numbers are numbers that can be in the form of a fraction that is just integers. 
  • It can also be any number which is predictable and we know where that number starts and ends.  
  • However, there are types of decimals in Rational Numbers. 
5/4 = 1.25 (Terminating Decimals)       2/3 = 0.66666666.... (recurring decimals)

  • To note, a number can be irrational if it can't be written as a fraction that is just integers.
  • Irrational Numbers doesn't terminate or recur for example, 3.14159
Prime Numbers
  • Can be greater than one
  • It can't be a product of 2 smaller numbers
  • 2, 3, 5 ,7, 11, 13, 17, 19
Prime Numbers are used, heavily in Encryption & Random Number Generators. It can also be used in digital art, too.

Square Numbers
  • Product of an integer with itself example;
1 x 1 = 1,  2 X 2 = 4, 3 X 3 = 9, 
  • It used to calculating area & volume
Pi
  • Is the Ratio of a circle's circumference, to it's diameter. 3.14159.
  • It's an irrational number. 
Eulers Numbers e
  • Another type of irrational numbers

Sculpting in Blender

Sculpting in Blender In Blender, our teacher showed us the sculpting tab. The Sculpting Tab in Blender is used to sculpt meshes, mainly for making realistic human models or for adding details to food models like odd crevices to a doughnut. Before getting used to Blender's Sculpting Tab, we messed around with many of the sculpting tools such as the inflate, etc., And then, for a little task, we had to have two cube meshes in the viewport. Then, I renamed both meshes, one naming "cube_low" and the other "cube_high". Then I selected mesh "cube_high", added in a Sub-Surf Modifier, and added loop cuts and brought them right to the original edges of the cube mesh. The reason why this was done is because, when applying a Sub-Surf modifier to a cube, it deforms it, making it look like an odd cylinder. So, adding loop cuts and bringing them, really tight to the original edges of the cube, can bring back it's shape. Once all that's done, I applied the su...

TARDIS Compositing Project

  TARDIS Compositing Project Plan/Idea I've seen several renders of people compositing their TARDIS models on shots from various models from Doctor Who, even on-set photos. I sometimes see TARDIS composite renders in other movies, such as Bladerunner 2049 .  I wanted to do something a little different by taking actual photos of Leicester City Centre, and composite my TARDIS 3d model in those photos instead. I asked my friend, Bhadir ( bhadir.jpg on Instagram), who is a photographer and he is able to help me out with this project. Unfortunately, he is studying in London but, when he's able to come to Leicester, we'll be able to take some photos of the city centre. Bhadir has advised me to consider doing a "recce" (reconnaissance), which means surveying the area to get a good idea of what the it is, how we could take the photo, etc,. from my understanding and I do agree with him. As I'm not fully clear on how a reconnaissance is done for photography, I'll ...

Mohammed's Synoptic Project (MOCK)

Mohammed's Synoptic Project (MOCK)  It is the second year of our course, and our teacher has assigned us with a mock synoptic project, This was to give us a taster on how it works and how well we can work as a group. We've been given three briefs to choose; a games brief, an animation brief and a VFX brief. Since there are four of us who chosen the animation brief, our teacher put us into a group. Our group consists of;  Leon - Storyboard Artist, Concept Artist, Rigger Jamie - 3d Character Creator Mohammed (me) - 3d Character Creator (Robots), Concept Artist, Animator Miles - 3d Scenebuilder  The animation brief explained to make a 30-40 second trailer of an upcoming animation series. We went with an idea where it's set in a post-apocalyptic Earth, where robots have taken over the world and it eradicated almost all human life.  Pre-Production We began by making concept art for the characters. Leon is making the concept art for the two human characters and the robots,...
