Seventeenth Week Blog Post for Project




Project Blog Week Seventeenth:

This is my seventeenth blog post for my modelling project continuing where I left off on the previous post. I decided that my first task was to duplicate the lion that I had already created, but this time I did not need to select the mane or the fur at the end of the tail, as I was going to create a cheetah.  After this was done I duplicated it two more times for an elephant and a goat. For the colour scheme of the lion I chose brown for the body area with a white mouth and ears, as for the eyes I decided on a glossy black to make them look a bit more lifelike. The second task was to create an elephant but as it was duplicated that basic shape was already in place, although it had a mouth section which was not needed for the toy elephant, so I simply removed it to allow space for the trunk. The trunk was made out of two cylinders one slightly facing upwards, these I shaped and then put together to form the trunk. Next the tusks were created using cones which I thinned down. The black eyes had been duplicated from the lion, so I decided that as they also looked good on the elephant I would leave them in place. Lastly I shaped the ears using the proportional editing tool to make them the traditional elephant size and shape. The final task was to add colour to this toy elephant. For the main body and the back of the ears I chose a  light grey, the tusks were coloured using a diffused white material and finally I coloured the inside of the ears pink to make it seem more toy-like.

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 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...

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...
