3D Modelling - SPEED MODELLING EXERCISES

-
During my first few weeks of the 3D modelling course, I did a few 10-20 minute 3D modelling exercises inside of the software 3Ds Max. This was done so that I could get used to the features of the software and acquaint myself with the basic techniques used in 3D modelling. These mainly included Editable meshes (used to manipulate the 3D shapes), Booleans, Chamfers and Bending the shape.

 

One of the first models I created was a book, which uses basic chamfers and editable meshes to create depth and add shape to the book's cover. The star on the front uses the extrude modifier.

I personally like how this model turned out because the shape is interesting and it's not just two cuboids mashed together.

This 3D model of a slice of swiss cheese uses the boolean technique, where I grouped spheres together and added the "subtract" option so that they would create indents in the cheese slice, giving the impression of a swiss cheese. Personally, I like the effect this created.
This model is of an English breakfast, with the sausages being made from the "bend" modifier and the tomatoes, egg and mushrooms being spheres spliced in half. The teapot is a premade model.

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).
