Shape / face/gesture studies.

In order to improve my self in modeling in Autodesk Maya,  and Z Brush. I use lots of traditional ways to learn how  to model and render a character or any form in 3D software.  To understand  how faces and shapes work, i do a lot of drawings from real life. When i draw, i accept that fact that my drawings may not turn out to be amazing master pieces,however, I do convince myself that  no matter how the drawing comes out  i will  try to get  as much details as possible.sometimes its hard to even get gestures in real life, however, i have developed a a skill  with my vision that once i capture a gesture in my vision i can  close my eyes and see how basic rules apply. Rules such as with shift,  how the shoulder is aligned to the hip, which direction are the knees and  feet facing. Understanding basic  rules and limitations of human anatomy is crucial and helps understand and get the results. It is a good practice to  start with your friends and  ask them for their consent. You should ask others for their consent as well, if you draw them, so that you wont have any misunderstandings.

First thing I do when I am drawing for life , is look around and  choose a suitable subject.( preferably some one whose sitting or reading a newspaper or  reading a book.)Once you start, make sure you start with basic shapes. Cover the bigger picture  after you have the basic shape going according to the pose,  you can start adding details like curves and outline on the body. This provides better organic nature to your drawing. after which  you start going into details on folds. After which you start to render.

Following are few of my drawings from life  each one of them was time 30 secs - 2 mins. The following helped me to understand how form works and now when i create anatomy of the characters.

Particles Refrence and Tutorial!!!!!!!!

Hey guys! For this post, I am excited to announce that I have been learning particles in Unreal Engine 4. And i have to say I have learned alot and enjoyed learning particle this far.  When i first started learning them, I thought they would be complicated, but the statement prooved to be false and was surperised how easy it was to understand them and apply them. After practicing through the tutorials I have learned  all the different types of particles, such as, emitter particle effects, HUD emitter particle effects, Mesh particles, Ribbon particles,  animation curve particles. Anyway, continuing the current assignment, i had to do some research on what kind of a particle do I need to work on and how I can apply that to my other collaborative project of the racing level. And the answer to that was kinda obvious. since i wanted to  have a sand storm in my level, I decided to peruse the sand storm effect. I looked at few real life references and few game ones....

PONG - Aracade Hits

For my programming class we created PONG  with a little bit of twist. We were paired in a team of two . and we assigned ourselves  a role of a programmer and the other a role of  of effects/ art. I had assumed of the former.  My first goal was to make the  game of pong look like  an old school pong that people can relate to. There fore Black and  white was the color scheme that i went with.  My main goal was to focus on how effects as the effects would  get the players more interested in our game. After creating the color scheme. I wanted  to add a bit of the dramatic flare to it, thus i started making particle effects for the tail of the ball and the radial bursts. For the Trail. I applied a material with opeque properties and  applies it into the cascade UI required module. Following are the values that i changed. I had also disabled velocity so that the trail would look seamless. And for the  radial ...
