3D Modelling - Bitmap tests

-

 In the following few weeks of my 3D modelling project, I made some more test models, this time using bitmapping so that the models could have textures on them,


My first attempt at this was with a Casino Die, the textures were first mapped onto a material and applied to a cube and then using the UV Unwrap modifier, you can import textures and fit them onto the shape. 


A model of Darth Vader from Star Wars, which was originally a Papercraft Model that I recreated in 3DS Max using the same techniques as shown above.

3D Modelling - More Cloth + Displacement practices

-

  Further progress on my current 3D Modelling project! Added pillows to the bed and changed the walls as the theme will be more Medieval, so that I can incorporate the sword models I have made. The walls are actually a displacement modifier which is created using a bitmapped image which 'bevels' the cobble bricks, making them look more 3D. This adds texture to the walls and makes them look more interesting. I want to apply the same technique to the floor in the near future.

3D Modelling - Cloth Modifier

 For my next project in 3DS Max, I wanted to model a bedroom - so for the bed, I wanted to give the cloth modifier a shot and this is the result. Though it was a little frustrating at first in terms of figuring the modifier out, I managed to achieve the result shown below!

3D Modelling - Geolocation

-
Image
In this project, I geolocated my bitmapped objects into Google Earth Pro. To achieve this, I began by exporting the files into an app called Sketchup. For the textures to stay intact, I had to give these files a short, 6-letter name and keep them in the same folder as my 3DS model. After this, I can proceed with selecting a location in the Geolocation mode of Sketchup and exporting the file as a .kms. After this, I can open the file and view these models in Google Earth in my selected location (which was the Meadows in Edinburgh).
