What was my thesis?
Basically, I had to come up with a large project for myself, related to my field of study. This was meant to help showcase my skills, while also being a challenge I had to work through.
This was a long term project. I was given around 8 months, to complete this thesis. (Fall semester & Spring semester. Sept 2022 to May 2023.)
So what did I do??
I'm created a 3d model of my character Rel. My plan was to make a functioning character rig of Rel. To then put into a premade game engine to use as a player model, with animations and all!
Some of my stretch goals were.
-
Make him able to be imported into
VR chat as a usable avatar. -
Put him into GMod as a usable
player model. -
Make a 3D V-tuber rig with him.
-
Make a cinematic Rig for him.
These were all only maybes, depending on how much time I have left after my main goal.
Now, What did I actually accomplish?
I was able to complete my entire goal, with a lot of time to spare. So I had decided to target the stretch goal of putting him into a game called GMod. I had succeeded in that, but with a lot of struggle. (And I mean, a lot... About, 3 weeks worth.)
Down below are a lot of pictures and videos showcasing my finished model, and my process through the creation of Rel!
