Twelfth Week Blog Post for Project




Project Blog Week Twelve:

 This is my twelfth blog post for my modelling project. I mentioned on my last post that I had started to make my remote controlled sports car and controller. I decided to start by creating the controller for this I used basic shapes like cylinders, cubes and spheres to form a basic control. For the car I had already created the basic shape, this I then stretched the full length of the car shown in the side view blueprint. Then I mirrored this shape by deleting one face then adding a mirror modifier to the cube, I did this so that I only had to work on one side of the car as the other side is mirrored. The next step was to shape the front and back of the car by manipulating the edges and vertices by following the reference images that I setup using the top, right, back and front views. The final stage was to create the basic shape for the wheels. I did this by using the 'cursor to selected' tool which snaps an object to the selected face. The object in this case was a cylinder whose vertices I had decreased from 32 to 8, then I rotated the cylinder to lay flat on the Y axis. After that I shrunk it on the x axis to get the right thickness for the tyre. I then shrunk it down to the right size for a wheel and duplicated it to form the back wheel, the wheels on the other side of the car were created automatically as I had added a mirror modifier to the cube.

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...
