The early part of this week is dedicated to creating the finishing touches for the 3D Face prototype due to be handed in on Friday and picking up from where we left off with the continuation of the Young Mans Christian Association project.
The 3D prototype portrait has developed with a relative amount of success. Clearly it is a female character with a full face, large almond shaped brown eyes, an upturned nose and a shapely mouth. Although it is not a true representation of the model it is based on, the features it defines are incredibly similar to those of the original photograph.
Hair was the final addition to the character and due to time constraints it could not be built. Instead the hair and fur tool from the 3DS Max package was used to create one hundred and fifty thousand two inch long hairs to cover the scalp with out bald patches! The hair was coloured dark brown at the tips and light brown at the ends and using the comb tool was pulled out to create a wavy, spiked ‘do which looked very eighties but allowed the viewer a glimpse of how longer, flowing hair would look upon the model.

With the finishing touches complete the assignment was ready to be handed in; snapshot images as well as the 3DS Max file were uploaded to a disc for grading by the course leader.
Previously in week three after receiving feedback from the course leader the decision was made to draw full length front and side views of each character being made for the YMCA promotional advertisement. Finally in week six this was able to be done, the sketches were recreated on A3 paper and coloured using a scheme which reflects the fun and age ranges of the projects available at the YMCA as well as those which will appeal to the target audience. Namely these are primary colours; red, yellow and blue. These sketches will be presented to Craig Gough in week seven when the group is due to meet him.
