Sprint 4

The first thing I did this sprint was re-UV the sub level cubes again. They were not modeled correctly and had to be remodeled, therefore re-UVed. 


Since the UVs changed, a new block was added, and the orientation changed, I also re-textured the blocks (a total of eight). They look like same as last sprint.




Next I modeled this old fashioned gas pump. I happened to model the same one for my first modeling class in CAGD 230. (don't worry I didn't re-use the model). This was the most complicated prop I modeled this sprint and took the whole class period. 


Then I worked on the fence props. There are a total of three pieces that can be formed together to create a long fence. I bent the wood pieces to give them an older look.


The horizontal fence posts are designed to be interlocked together so that they don't intersect. 


This piece is to be used to merge the pieces together, or to be places at the end of a chain to close it off.


This is what the fence looks like all put together


Then I UVed the fence pieces. The was simple since the shapes were all simple cylinders. 



Next I modeled and UVed two variations of the concrete tubes. However these were sent back because my producer wanted they to be faceted. 


The second time modeling these I added some random facets to make them look more rustic.

Sprint 1

This process has been really fun so far. I love looking at the concept art and trying to replicate it in 3d. I got tasked with modeling a large crane, a cargo lift, in game collectibles called cloobits and memories, the two enemy robot characters. The process so far has been similar to being on a game team before. The only other time I've been on a team was a game asset where we had four people total so I'm not used to so many people working on the same project. The first thing I worked on was this crane. It took me two class periods to finish. I struggled a bit with the compartment at the top. It was difficult to bevel, but the rest went pretty smoothly. Next I worked on enemy 2 which was this robot. This one took me a while to finish. I was pretty busy the last two weeks and procrastinated a bit so I did this and the next few assets yesterday. I struggled the most with the little plates on the feet. It was hard to make them smooth. Then I worked on enemy 1. This one was much ...

Blog Post 1 - Faucet Assignment

Ciela Parent Blog Post 1 - Faucet Assignment  For the first week we worked on a faucet. This model was more complex than anything I've worked on in the past. Making the base flow into the sink was difficult for me. Having hard surface look natural was challenging. I have never been able to use the subdivision tool since most classes are strict on optimization. It was satisfying hitting three and seeing the jagged topology smooth out and look like a real faucet. Something i found challenging was the circular nibs at where the water comes out. I wasn't sure how to duplicate them in a circle so I just did it by hand.  Subdividing made me realize how advanced modelers model complex shapes. Before complex geometry on robots, cars and other mech seemed daunting but not it feels possible to attempt. I'm excited to apply my new knowledge to personal projects.

Sprint 2

Sprint 2 First I UVed the cargo lift. this was very simple to UV. The shapes are very simple, and are mostly privatives.  Next I UVed and textured the crane. This asset was also very simple to UV and texture. The UVs were mostly unwrapping primitives and the textures only had three colors.  Next I UVed the lighthouse. This was another simple asset. I messed up the UVs on the windows and confused myself when importing in painter. This was a simple fix, the window panes were left out of the material for some reason. I added it to the lambert and that fixed it. Next I UVed and textured robot 2. This was more of a challenge to UV than the bigger set pieces because there was more of a variety of shapes. Next i textured the robot. I kept a matte texture even though the bot is metal since that's the style we're going for in the game.  Next I UVed and textures robot 1. This robot was very simple to UV. The bot head is pretty much just a sphere, and i was worried there would be se...
