Week 3 - Anatomy Sculpting Practice


Human Anatomy sculpt: SOURCE

Please complete Mr. Webb's Daily Check-In >>>HERE

OBJECTIVE

- Complete the Anatomy Cube exercises, applying the digital sculpting workflows and strategies for generating realistic human anatomical forms by manipulating geometry.

- Referencing human scale forms for modeling hands and feet to produce realistic and stylized versions of models for 3D Printing

- Learn the rules of safe operation and process for 3D Printing on the Lulzbot TAZ 6 FDM printer, as well as the Formlabs SLA Form 2 printers. 


TASK 1 - Anatomy Cube 4x

Students will be evaluated using the EGI scoring standards rubric, which includes the following criteria:

Technical Skill: the student's ability to use the tools and techniques of SculptGL effectively

Anatomical Accuracy: the student's ability to accurately depict the human anatomy in their sculptures

Creativity: the student's ability to add their own unique style and interpretation to their sculptures

Craftsmanship: the student's attention to detail and the overall quality of the final sculpture

Learning Targets:

Students will be able to use SculptGL to digitally sculpt a cube with human anatomy

Students will be able to accurately depict the human nose, mouth, ear, and eye in their sculptures

Students will be able to improve their technical skills, anatomical accuracy, creativity, and craftsmanship over multiple attempts

Students will be able to use the crease tool to carve their names and date on the top of the cube.

--Sculpt the anatomy cube exercise four times, and name your file with the following format:
firstandlastname_AnatomyCube-00X.obj  <replace X with the number of the model, 1, 2, 3, or 4.
Save your ZBrush Tool for each version of the anatomy cube that you complete and submit BOTH the OBJ and ZTool files for each version of the anatomy cube to Schoology.

TASK 2 - Foot Sculpt

Draw orthographic sketches (front, side, top views) of a human foot, based upon collected reference photos.  Assemble a base mesh, using Zspheres. Refine the base mesh into a realistic human anatomical model, with primary, secondary and tertiary forms (including joints, tendons, wrinkles, skin folds, and other details).

FOR CREDIT-Export OBJ, Save ZTool - upload both to Schoology, and OBJ to Sketchfab account

TASK 3 - Hand Sculpt

Draw orthographic sketches (front, side, top views) of a human hand, based upon collected reference photos.  Assemble a base mesh, using Zspheres. Refine the base mesh into a realistic human anatomical model, with primary, secondary and tertiary forms (including joints, tendons, wrinkles, skin folds, and other details).

FOR CREDIT-Export OBJ, Save ZTool - upload both to Schoology, and OBJ to Sketchfab account

TASK 4 - 3D PRINTING: Safety, File Prep, Post Process

- Read safety documents

- Watch 3D Printing Process videos

- Take the 3D Printing Saftey exam (score 90% or above) - Google Exam here<<

- Prepare your i. Anatomy Cube, ii. Foot, and iii. Hand sculpts for 3D Printing as FDM and SLA prints.

- Print and post-process copies of your 3D model - submit physical copies to Mr. Webb

Week 16 - Flipbook Introduction to Animation Project

   Please complete Mr. Webb's Daily Check-In >>> HERE OBJECTIVE - Produce a physical portfolio artifact in the form of a 100+ frame flipbook animation, with dynamic action, color, and generally appealing imagery. * Although you will be completing the tasks below with one scratch pad, you will earn credit for each production task as though it is a separate assignment. FOR CREDIT YOU WILL HAND IN YOUR COMPLETED FLIP BOOK SCRATCHPAD, AND DIGITAL SCANNED VERSION BY FRIDAY, MAY 12, 2023 TASK 1.  ANIMATION PLANNING On a plain sheet of 8.5-inch x 11-inch paper, show evidence of brainstorming imagery, actions, transitions, and story with sketches and notes.  Your note sheet should have your name clearly printed on the front and back of each side, and visually communicate all of the relevant information to appear in your actual flipbook animation. TASK 2. FLIPBOOK ROUGH DRAFT Rough sketches of animation frames approximate the shapes, movement, and story on pages of t...

Source HERE Please complete Mr. Webb's Daily Check-In >>> HERE OBJECTIVE - Reflect upon presentations observed, and your own performance to create criteria to focus improvement upon. - Practice documenting process steps using information graphics, and video production techniques. *ALL PERIODS>>> TASK 1 The Digital Sculpting Process Slideshow - Make a Google Slides presentation to teach someone the methods of digitally sculpting parts of human facial anatomy that Mr. Webb taught. - Your slideshow must include a title, and graphics that visually depict the steps involved on different slides. Submit your slideshow as a PowerPoint document via Schoology for credit. Mr. Webb's process: (1. Adding clay to define the volumes of primary forms, 2. Smoothing clay to create the impression that features belong to the same body part, and 3. Finalizing Secondary and Tertiary forms and details using Crease tool and masking techniques) *P...
