I made the brave decision to venture into the fanciful realm of a lemon love affair while faced with a creative task that used lemons as the canvas. The Instagram account documented my unique bond with a lemon, transforming a routine project into an engrossing story that could captivate the interest of a worldwide viewership. https://www.instagram.com/1sweetand2sour?igsh=MW5tYnpvaWowN2gwMQ== Inspired by the tangy story, I wanted to use Instagram to reach celebrities in order to improve the lemon-themed project. I carefully selected posts with my citrus friend, tagging influencers and celebrities in the hopes of getting their notice. Unfortunately, the response was lacklustre, and it became clear that a more unusual strategy was required to turn the project around. Despite the initial setback, I made the decision to change course. Rather than flooding the site with more entries about lemons, I turned my attention to the comments section, which is a frequently missed treasure. Equipped w...

 Setting out to create an engaging 3D model for the RA Summer Exhibition 2024 was an ambitious undertaking that required a dynamic blend of technical expertise, creative vision, and iterative refinement. This blog explores the entire procedure, from pre-visualization to final image realisation. The project involved using Blender to sculpt a woman's bust, decorating it with carefully placed flowers, and going through an iterative cycle of feedback and refinement to make sure the final product complied with the main idea. The project started with an extensive pre-visualization phase that drew inspiration from several forms of art. The work aimed to blend classical elegance and modern vitality, with a focus on colours as the central theme. The choice to sculpt a woman's bust served as a canvas for examining the nuanced dance between innovation and tradition. A mood board that combined elements of the current digital collage and Michelangelo's figurative sculptures appeared, se...

 Setting out on the exciting adventure of creating a poster for the prestigious RA Summer Exhibition 2024 was driven by creativity, invention, and a lively synthesis of artistic inspirations. The creative endeavour that drew inspiration from a wide range of artists spanning centuries—from the classical mastery of Michelangelo to the contemporary energy of Beeple—was made possible by the thematic focus on colours. I cordially urge you to immerse yourself in this extensive investigation, delving into the rich tapestry of concepts and sources of inspiration that influenced the creation of my poster—a visual symphony that echoes the revolutionary spirit of art throughout history. When I started my investigation, Michelangelo Buonarroti's brilliance came through as a guiding principle. My artistic vision has been profoundly impacted by the Italian Renaissance artist's mastery of sculpture and deep comprehension of human anatomy. Embodying the very essence of the human spirit, the ic...

Thus, following several months of trial and error and a good deal of setbacks. I felt compelled to share my current status with you regarding my degree project.  I've made the decision to move forward with the same plan but slightly alter the strategy. I'm going to add about five more scenes to my project. which is what would be.  1) A cosmic explosion accompanying a procedural Black hole.  2) A galaxy's scene  3) The Star System 4) A Planet 5) A few auxiliary images featuring planets, galaxies, nebulas, and space in general.  After that, I'll tackle a couple easy initiatives like sound design and a monologue.  Monologue:  After the scenes are explained, this must come first. The audience's perception of the conclusion must be flawless for it to be even more captivating. I'm going to read books and other sources while I write a monologue. Because "Gattaca" is a movie that I found inspiring and is often praised for its engaging story, likeable character...

As I mentioned in my earlier blogs, Unity does not support rendering 360-degree videos. I have located a tutorial that shows how to accomplish it in the latest version of Unreal Engine 5. As it happens, it was simple all along.  There is a Unity plugin called Movie Render Queue with additional render passes that is presently in beta testing. Similar to any other application, it essentially provides options for panorama rendering.  I added a sequencer and camera character into my scene and animated it. With the new tools at my disposal, I was able to easily incorporate a sequencer into my scene, creating a plethora of opportunities for narrative in the virtual environment. The sequencer took on the role of the conductor in my story, giving me exact control over the visual extravaganza as it developed.  I exported the whole scene as 8K JPEGs to fully utilise this newfound ability. This choice, which offered a compromise between excellent resolution and reasonable file sizes...

The Switch to Blender When confronted with rendering issues in Unreal Engine, the decision to explore Blender proved to be a wise move. The initial scepticism was met with determination, leading to a decision to start small. The choice of creating a nebula, using materials primarily and leveraging volumetrics and particle systems, was a strategic yet creative approach. Setting the Stage Beginning with a basic project, you enlarged the cube and adjusted the 3D camera settings for a more encompassing view. Your decision to experiment with material nodes and textures demonstrated an intuitive understanding of Blender's capabilities. Material Mastery To achieve the desired nebula effect, you ventured into the world of material nodes and textures. The utilization of the Musgrave texture, coupled with experimenting with its parameters, showcased your commitment to perfection. The introduction of the principled volume shader highlighted the transition into the volumetric realm, managing c...

As i have been told to add more narrative to my project I have tried incorporating that idea in the Script. The following is the script for Monologue: welcome to "Cosmic Genesis," an extraordinary journey through the mysteries of the universe, spanning billions of years in a matter of moments. Our adventure begins in the heart of a lush, mysterious forest, where secrets lie hidden among the towering trees and the rustling leaves. It is here that we find a doorway, a portal to the unknown. As we approach this enigmatic door, a voice echoes through the tranquil woods, inviting us to discover the most profound secret of all - the secret of life itself. With a sense of curiosity and anticipation, we choose to step through this portal, embarking on a journey that will take us to the very origins of our existence. As the door opens and we step through, we find ourselves immersed in a portal which feels like its bending dimensions of space, time and reality. At the end of the portal...
