Tenth Week Blog Post for Project




Project Blog Week Ten:

This is my tenth blog post for my modelling project, this time I decided to make some toy cars as I thought they would be a nice addition to the toy vehicles I have already made. To create this I first made a rectangle shape for the body of the car, then I used a mirror modifier which mirrors the opposite side, so that I only had to make one side of the car. I then pulled up a section of the face to create the roof. To form the lights, windscreen, windows, rear windows and grill, I clicked the extrude button for the selected faces but did not actually extrude the face. Then I shrunk in one of the faces but only slightly and pressed Ctrl+E (the extrude button) to push in the face to create the lights and a window effect. To make the front and rear bumpers I used the extrude button but did not pull anything out, I simply left clicked to deselect the face of the front bumper section, then pressed Alt+S to alternatively scale this section out forming the front bumper. This process I repeated to form the rear bumper. The supercharger was made by selecting two faces on the car bonnet, then I rotated and extruded them to form the familiar box like shape of the supercharger. The mirrors were made next by duplicating a section of the car's bodywork, this was done twice, one section was for the mirror arm the other for the mirror itself, they were then both extruded to create the arm of the mirror and the shape of the mirror. The wheels and rubber tyres were made separately out of cylinders, I decreased the vertices in order to form the wheel shape, then I used the extrude and scale tools to complete the wheels. Having finished the car I used a smooth modifier to make the whole car smooth, unfortunately this distorted some sections so I had to use the mean crease tool on these areas to make them look sharper. Finally I duplicated this car to make two more, then I chose dark blue for one, yellow for another and green for the third. For the  car's bodywork I used  a material which gives a glossy finish, but for the grill I used diffused colour which gives a matte finish and for the windows I used a transparent material. To make the cars more realistic I wanted to give the impression that the car lights were on so I used a material which gives a glowing white colour.

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...
