Bench

I created the bench by only making half of it, and mirrored it, slice along the mirror, so the bench has the design on it meeting in the middle. Again, i used the symmetry modifier, flipped it on X axis.

Here is the bench once rendered.

Here are the models i created. I am very pleased with my models as i have put a lot of effort into this. 

Modeling the Fly

For the fly, i started with a sphere and made the head. I did not want the head to be a perfect round shape so i used the select and non-uniform scale tool. I then squashed the sphere downwards. Just like the man, i created the eyes in the same way. I made one sphere and used the material editor. I used the same eye as the man model. I applied it by going on maps, diffuse, bitmap and selected the file. Once i dragged the material on to the eye and the pupils were rotated at the right place, i then cloned it to make the second eye. The reason for this is so that the eyes are equal. otherwise, if i had created two separate spheres, it would have been possible to do but it would have taken me a long time to get it in the right size and angle.  

I created the body by using a sphere again. I used the scale tool to make it narrower and pointier at the bottom. I cut off the top bit of the sphere as i was going to put the head i already made to go on top of the body.

I used the extrude tool to pull out the arms and legs and i also used the bevel tool to make the tips wider, with an illusion of hands and feet.

I also created the wings using a plane. there were many ways of doing it, however, i decided to only make one side of the wing and mirrored it so the wings perfectly even. I used the symmetry modifier, selected mirror and flipped from the X axis.

 

Once i had all the fly body parts, i put them all together and assigned ID tags. As you can see, there are two different colours; black and yellow. Out of all the colours, i chose theses too as it looks like a bumble bee. Other colours wouldn't have been as good as this.  

Eye Material

For the eyes, i created this pupil using illustrator and saved it as a jpeg. I then use it as a material on the modifier and applied it to the eyes of my model. I rotated the eye balls to fit the pupils in the right places.

I found this quite easy to make and I'm very pleased with the outcome.

Modeling

This is my model, i created ID tags to assign a certain colour to the body, to make it look like my model has clothes. as you can see, this is before i attache the hand to the man.

After attaching the hand, the colours had to change due to the fact that the skin colour should all match. 

Creating my model

I started making my model by creating a box, I then used the bevel and extrude modifiers to shape the body of my model. I used these modifiers to create the arms and legs. as you can see, on the knees and elbows, I had to extrude more so that it gives my model some skin for when it bends. 

I then created a box to make the head, however, i found it even more difficult to shape. So i started again with a sphere. I used the modifier, editable polly to shape the head. using the vertices to shape the eyes, nose and mouth. I tried to create the ears but it was taking me too long, so this is something i could improve in the future.

I then had to create the hand separately, with the fingers. I started with a box and extruded the fingers and beveled the finger tips. I used the smooth modifier to soften the edges of the hand as it was quite boxy in the beginning. I then tried to attach the hand on to the man model. I had to cut off the tip if the hand from my original model, and attached the end of the arm on  to the separate hand i created. Attaching this was very hard, especially the first time. however, i learned how to use the loop and grow on the modifier as well as the link.

The bald man and the fly fable... Comic Storyboard

I decided to make a comic storyboard as I am not very good at drawing pictures. I chose to do The bald man and the fly fable becuase there is a meaning to the story compared to the other 2 ideas I had. Also, I think making this animation would be interesting and fun.

Material

With the 3  ideas, I will try and create animation based from the TV show Pingu. I will try and create softer characters just like the penguins in Pingu. It will look more like clay texture.
