Twenty Three Week Blog Post for Project




Project Blog Week Twenty Three:

This is my twenty third blog post for my modelling project. On the previous blog post I had decided to make a toy dumper truck which I had started to create, in this post I continued were I left off from last time. The first task to complete this truck was to create the doors on the cab by outlining them, for this I used the same technique I had used for outlining the widows, I coloured them in the same yellow as the cab to make them blend in. The container was made out of a cuboid shape which, using the exude button, I created a new geometry for the top face, then I pushed this face down to create the container itself. After this I removed the back face to make way for the tailgate which opens to tip out the contents of the container. So to form this tailgate I made a thinned cube and I lined the whole container minus the door section with thinned down cubes and cuboid shapes, to give the sides of the container a thickness, I also added a bar to the back section of the truck which includes lights, indicators and a licence plate to make it more realistic. The second task was to colour both the container and the flatbed, the container I coloured in a glossy red material to give it that shinny plastic look and the flatbed I coloured in yellow the same as the cab. I now decided to move on to create my crane, but I could not find any tutorials on this and without much help I found it difficult to do, so I decided to change direction and came up with an idea for a fuel truck. The first task was to duplicate the basic body shape of the dumper truck, the flatbed and the detail on the cab. I then moved on to make the fuel container which was created by using a stretched cube, the edges of which I beveled to make it look more rounded, then I added three inspection hatches on the top of the truck for each of the sections in the container. The next thing I added was a fuel hose which I made out of toruses which I stacked on top of one another forming a coil effect, I then stretched out one of these to create the end of the hose and I put this on the side of the truck. Next I added in text to the side of the truck saying 'FUEL TRUCK'. My final task was to add colour to the newly created items, for the fuel container I coloured the main body in a glossy red and the top in a glossy blue, the writing was coloured in white and the hose and finally the caps and nozzle of the hose were coloured in a glossy grey to replicate metal.

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...
