3D Modelling - Evaluation so far

-

 In this project, I have been creating 3D models and introducing myself to the basic techniques that are used in the industry. In the first few weeks, I mainly practiced with speed-modelling in order for me to work more efficiently and effectively. This was also done to help introduce myself to the various techniques used in industry (Booleans, Bitmaps and Modifiers like Bend, Bevel, Chamfers and Unwrap UV's).

In the following weeks, these techniques would then be applied to 3D models like a Die and a Papertoy of Darth Vader and were imported into Google Earth Pro via Sketchup so that you could view these objects in a real environment like the Park or a Mountain top.

Overall, I've enjoyed playing around with the various modifiers and techniques that 3DS Max has introduced to me and importing the models into a real environment was an interesting experience. I think the techniques I have learned so far could help me in my main courses.

I did struggle with keeping up with what my lecturer was saying once in a while and I fell behind or missed out details as a result, and I would like to learn about 3D sculpting at some point. In order to improve, I hope that I can begin to learn more 3D-Modelling techniques with time.

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).
