Eighth Week Blog Post for Project




Project Blog Week Eight:

This is my eighth blog post for my modeling project, this time I moved onto making some toy UFO's. Firstly I created a sphere which I then flattened into a disc shape, next I created another sphere and placed it halfway into the disc shape to form the domed cockpit area. After this was done I had the basic flying saucer shape but I decided I wanted to add more detail, so I added fins to the back of the UFO by creating a cone shape which I flattened right down into a triangle shape. This I then placed at the back to create the fin effect. I then duplicated this UFO to create a second one. Having completed the two UFO's I added flattened spheres to the bottom of each one to create a circular shape forming a hatch for the aliens to leave and re-enter the ship. I then added two alien figures to the cockpit to make the toy more interesting. Having done this I moved onto choosing the colours for the UFO's. For the domes I went for a yellow coloured glass material, for the body I chose a glossy grey and finally for the abductor beam hatch I decided on a luminous white effect to give an eerie feel. For the aliens I picked a green colour and made them in a traditional alien shape. Although I thought this looked quite good I still wanted to add more detail, so for one of the UFO's I added an abductor beam of a blue/yellow colour making it seems more mysterious. The final thing I added was animation, the first UFO I made hover in an upwards direction then stop and fly off, for the second one I made the alien in the cockpit use the abductor beam to come out of the ship, stand on the ground for a while and then go back up.

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...
