Learning Agreement (My Project Intentions)
BA6: Specialism
This text details what I intend to explore and achieve as my BA6 Project submission - hopefully this will put some of my posts into context!
Proposal: What do
you intend to do?
Use this area to
outline the intended project.
What; My project will cover
the processes and theories of modelling through an in-depth investigation of
prop modeling from start to finish. I will research into Work Pipelines,
polygon budget modeling, texture painting, UV mapping, normal and specular
maps, use of lighting, shaders and rendering for presentation of the model. I
will not be taking my model into game-engine as part of this brief; however I
will include efficiency considerations in my model (such as inward/hidden faces
etc.)
Why; My work will be based
on Primary Visual Research carried out at Norwich Castle Museum. This visual
research will inform my conceptual work as I plan to model a prop based on a
historical object. The reason I am choosing inspiration from the past, is that
I want my work to explore the role of 3D modeling as a form of preservation for
historical objects. By modeling an object from history, it becomes no longer
vulnerable to decay, and damage and so is preserved far more effectively than
any museum can achieve. 3D models can then be reproduced, and shared for future
generations to learn from in a medium they will understand, and this brings up
the topic of replication in modern culture. Baudrillard’s Theory of Simulation
will inform my research into this topic, and I will use his theory as a starting
point for my further investigation into the role of 3D modeling as a form of
preservation, and its role as a simulation.
How; I will achieve my
target of a professionally realised 3D model through strict time-management,
thorough research of the topics listed above, and regular contact with my
tutors at the timetabled 2D and 3D Drop-in sessions. My schedule is as detailed
as possible, so to give a realistic representation of my time, and I have left
a week at the end of my schedule to allow for any unforeseen hold-ups.
