CAWD Project: CAWD Forest Pack

lowPolyForestPack

This week while remote learning I want you to create the digital versions of your Forest Pack concept art. Last week you came up with 4 objects and did the pre-production for it, this week you are going to create the assets.

In your deliverable you will have your 4 assets that show up in a single render, similar to what you see above just with far less assets. You will have your:

  • Low poly tree #1 (deciduous) – the type with a canopy where the leaves fall off
  • Low poly tree #2 (conifer) – the type with needles where leaves never fall off. Think Christmas tree.
  • Low poly rock – size up to you.
  • Low poly man-made object. (campfire scene, tent, 4×4, cabin, etc)

I want you to create your own 3×3 (minimum) color palette, use it, and also upload the file so we can see it.

You will turn in two assets for this project:

1. Save and upload your work as “(lastname)ForestPack.jpg” and upload to your “week_05” folder. Example:

  • “croninForestPack.jpg”

2. Save and upload your palette as “(lastname)ForestPackPalette.jpg” and upload to your “week_05” folder. Example:

  • “croninForestPackPalette.jpg”

We will start this project now in class.

Student Agency Project

Using your newly learned skills in Blender or Illustrator create anything you wish.

Save and upload your work as “(lastname)Agency.jpg” and upload to your “week_05” folder. Example:

  • “croninAgency.jpg”

Design Homework 5: Inktober 2020

Jake Parker created Inktober in 2009 as a challenge to improve his inking skills and develop positive drawing habits. It has since grown into a worldwide endeavor with thousands of artists taking on the challenge every year.

This week we are going to take part in InkTober 2020. The rules are pretty easy to follow – for CAWD there are actually just two rules:

  • Make a drawing in ink (you can do a pencil under-drawing if you want).
  • Pick a from the prompt, and include this word when you sign your art.

The Inktober 2020 Prompt List:

You have to use ink (I bet we can all find a pen, if you can’t, see me).

When signing it include the prompt, so it may look like in the corner:

  • “Rodent” / Cronin / 10-2020

Take image of your sketch saved as “(lastName)DH5.jpg” and upload “week_05” folder. Example:

  • “croninDH5.jpg”
