3D modeling fun
I’ve been having fun in my 3D Animation II class so far this semester and I’ve just (or almost) completed the modeling phase of the first project: a model of a wind-up toy. Here’s a still image of part of the model (the final animation will be lit with an ambient light in addition to the spotlights, so it will be possible to see the entire model. For now this is all you get. *grin*)
I’m really proud of the textures I was able to pull off in this model. I have fairly low confidence in my drawing abilities but was pleasantly surprised by how well the flower petals came out, and the image only took something like 10 minutes to make in Photoshop (although getting the petals to that shape–arguably a large part of how well they look–took several hours of modeling in Maya). The leaf texture, however, took me almost 2 hours to make today. Lots of time notwithstanding, I’m really happy with how this model is turning out so far. I think I have a good handle on how I’m going to do the animating, too, so I’m really pleased with this project!
Cheers!
