Assignment 3 – Munny in Blender

December 20, 2008

Christmas is approaching. As this is one of my favourite festivals, I decided to make a munny of Christmas edition. Red and green are used as the main colors because red stands for happiness and green, a christmas tree.

So here is my final design.

Parts of the project.

1. Munny munnyrender31

The Christmas gown is textured with flannelet and snowflake first, then 3D hat and white sleeves are joined. The hair of the munny is textured also.

“Respire” 3D

December 4, 2008

Digital arts allows us to create a fancy world.

The 3D animation Respire tells a little girl a day’s life with nature, monitored by the CCTV.

It’s interesting with the the girl’s actions and the storyline.

Assignment 2 – Image Manipulation – 007

November 20, 2008

The newly released 007 James Bond movie “Quantum of Solace” and my boyfriend James Lu inspired me to work out this assignment. Special thanks to them.

007 posters were “stuck” onto the walls. The fake James Bond was attracted by the lady who’s passing by and amused to have different facial expressions as her dress was blown up by the wind.

In my final image, the first two appearances of the lady is made transparent to create motion. From the lady walked by to her dress was blown up, there are changes in James’ facial expressions also, as a motion, in the poster.

Here are my final work and my ideas of the image.

Final Image

First, I took a sequence of photos of James and joined his face to the original 007 poster.

Then I found my empty scene and the lady on google. The lady’s dress in the pix was blown up. I tried to recover the dress in photoshop so that the first two and the last were not the same.

My Blog Header finally comes out~

October 9, 2008

Finally, I decided to change the color into my favourite pink. I think it looks fresh.

And for my portrait, my opinion is, it looks like a man rather than a woman. My sister said the portrait was scary and weird to the background…well…

Version 1 –

Version 2 – as the header

Photoshop – Digital Imaging Course in SIUC

October 3, 2008

We started to work on Photoshop in class. It recalls my memory of some pictures designed for the mid-term of digital imaging course before. I remember that Felicia and I spent the whole night in the dorm room working on it! =.=

The first one is Cross Processing. The idea of cross processing is to highlight the color contrast of an image so that the wild contrasts project a special feeling to the image.

                                            Before–>After

After cross processing, my dear Jiro became cooler~hahahaha~

The second one is VanGogh. That is a stylish painting by the Dutch Painter Vincent Van Gogh.

                                   Before–>After

The third one is Hand Coloring. That is to repaint a black-and-white image. But the color of the repaint one is a bit terrible…Later, I find out that I have put too much color on Felicia’s eyelid…                                                     

                                        Before–>After

The fourth one is Cubism. Parts of the image are sliced up and resembled to approach an abstract and geometric shape.

                                   Before–>After

The final one is Warhol. The idea is to combine portraits of the same image but in different colors. The four portraits are used wih different striking colors.

                                 Before–>After
