Sixth Week Blog Post for Project



Project Blog Week Six:

This is my sixth blog post for my modeling project, I have started to make some of the animated toys for my toy shop scene. Having completed the toy train I am now moving on to make one of several teddy bears. The first thing that I did to create this bear was to make a sphere for the head and shrink it on the z axis to make it less rounded, then I moved on to the body for which I used the same technique, but this time I made it a little bigger. The next step was to make the arms and the legs which again meant using a sphere, I extruded the bottom vertex which made it more cylindrical in shape. For the top vertex I shrunk it on the x axis, I then went back to the bottom vertex  and moved it up on to the z axis to create a hole to form the end of the teddy bears paw, which I then filled with a flattened sphere to complete the end of the paw, this I then duplicated three more times to create two arms and two legs. For the arms I then rotated them in opposite directions so that they were pointing slightly outwards on the side of the body. With the legs I rotated them in a slightly upwards direction to make the bear appear to be sitting down. To create the snout and nose I duplicated the head, then shrunk it right down in size and placed it half way down on the head thus forming the snout, for the nose I duplicated the snout and then made it smaller and placed it on the snout close to the top. Finally I made the ears by duplicating the head, shrinking it down in size and flattening it on the y axis, I extruded one vertex to give the ear depth and the trademark curved ears of a teddy bear, I repeated this process for the other ear and then placed them on either side of the head.

Twenty Five Week Blog Post for Project

Project Blog Week Twenty Five: This  is my twenty fifth blog post for my modelling project, o n the  previous blog post I had completed all of the toys that I needed to make for my toy shop scene.  I now decided to move on to animating some of these toys so that they would really standout. I had  already     a nimated the two UFO's and the train. The train simply moves across the screen and so does one of the UFOs, the other UFO has a little alien coming out of the space ship and descending to the ground, he observes the area around him and then  goes back up into his ship. The first toys I decided to animate were my three aeroplanes which I did simply by making one take off and the other two land. After this I moved on to the toy cars that I had made for young children and decided it would be a good idea for the cars to race each other. I also did this for the more advanced remote controlled sports cars, as well as this I tilted th...

Twenty Seven Week Blog Post for Project

Project Blog Week Twenty Seven: This  is my twenty seventh blog post for my modelling project, o n the previous blog post I had setup animation for most of the toys. I have now completed this by animating the teddy bears and soft toy elephants, for this I added in a ball for them the throw to each other. I also animated the four animals without fur making them charge toward the camera. This is the last blog post for my project as I only had to put in the final touches and then render all of the scenes. Firstly I decided to dull down the cars and the trucks because I wanted them to look more like plastic toys and not so metallic. As well as this I grouped all of the objects that I had made into seven scenes, which I will talk about in more detail in my power point. Secondly I had to set up all the backgrounds for each of the scenes, then I went on to check the lighting in all of my prepared scenes, making sure that the light was correct so that all of the objects could be clea...

Twenty Four Week Blog Post for Project

Project Blog Week Twenty Four: This  is my twenty fourth blog post for my modelling project, o n the  previous blog post I had completed the two toy trucks to go in to the toy shop scene, I now decided to move on to create another toy. I looked at all of the toys I had already made and I realized that I didn't have many toys for girls, so I thought it would be a good to create one although I hadn't got any idea of what toy to make. I went on to the internet to see what toy I could create and I found soft toy elephants which were for young girls, so I decided to go with this toy. I started to create one of these elephants in the same way I created the teddy bears, simply because they were both in a sitting position and I thought it made sense to use the same tutorial again to help me make the basic body shape and the fur, leaving me to make the other bits from scratch. The first task, like the bears, was for me to create spheres for the head, body, legs, eyes and ears. I t...
