About the final project for: Design of Miniature CGI Sets
Design CGI scenarios in miniature
“We have already reached the end of the course. In this lesson, I review everything we have seen in the course as a reminder. Especially to refresh the steps you have to do to carry out your project. The final project is to make a scenario in our own way, within one of the styles we have analyzed in the stopmotion movies, we can go to the simplest style or the most realistic. The most important thing is to stick to our moodboard, designs and references, and look for that goal from the beginning, although we will have to fight sometimes with the 3d programs, with the technical part and with our computer to achieve our goal, which is not we must deviate. We can combine the different styles to create a different one, ours, and it can be more interesting than using an existing style. I encourage everyone to work on the project and share the results, I will try to give feedback as quickly as possible, although sometimes professional obligations do not leave me much time. Criticism enriches and you have to know how to accept it, as well as selecting this will help us move forward, it is good to listen and analyze the comments because this will be the day to day of our professional career. I loved being able to share my knowledge with you and I hope you have been useful. A hug and thank you very much ”
