Maya Assignment: Week 02 - " Mjolnir project"

Mjolnir project


For our next assignment we made Mjolnir which is a hammer owned by Thor.

Creation

We created it using Maya which we had been working on the basic assets of Maya and crafted the hammer using the simple tools.

We had blueprints of the hammer which we inserted into Photoshop then Maya and then we modeled the hammer to be the exact size and to curve it in proportion.
 













We then took this into Photoshop and split it into two views where we modeled it into Maya using the proportions on the blueprints .













I firstly modeled the top of the hammer using a cube that was then made using the transform key to stretch the cube into more of a hammer head. We then used the extrude tool which can bring parts to curve the cube more into a shape we want. Finally I put a cylinder shrunk as the top detail.










Next I moved onto the grip which I made simply by making many different cylinders and putting them larger than a normal smaller and stretched cylinder in the middle, for each cylinder I put the location by 5 every time so they were the same width apart. For the bottom I did another cylinder modeled so it was larger than the rest.




















End Evaluation

In conclusion I think the hammer went well, I was pretty impressed with it at the time but now that I have learnt more It could be greatly improved, such as more detail on the top of the hammer and more detail on the grip. I would also add textures as this would make it actually standout and not just be a shell.

Baby Driver Story Analysis

Image
Our task this week was to do a story analysis on a movie of our choice. I decided to choose Baby Driver. Firstly we had to talk about the main character and give a brief detail about them and what happens to them in the story. Here I gave a summary of the story and how Baby changes throughout the story. Next we has to talk about the setting so I gave a short description on the modern day Atlanta and talked about how Baby spent his time there. For the second part we has to write about the different stages of the story and how the character develops from each stage. I also gave a description on what happens in the story at that point so you get a little bit of context about what made Baby feel the way he does and then in the next scene how hes changed. End summary: Overall I am pretty happy with my story analysis, I used some storyboard keywords like hook and also I am getting better at Photoshop. Next time I could possibly add more to the timeline for exa

Maya coke bottle

Image
This week I made a bottle in Maya starting off with a single cylinder where I gave 5 axis divisions making it more of a pentagon shape. Next I inserted a coke image plane to model off. Next I selected all of the bottom 5 faces and extruded them, then from here I could turn off the feature that keeps the faces together and then increase the offset to separate them. Next I changed from the rough cube model to a more smoothed model by pressing 2 on my keyboard this was go to swap between the views later on when making the bottle . After removing the top I could select edges and extrude, here I could add bends to make it look more like the bottle. For more detail and ways to bend the model I also inserted more edges using the multicut tool which I could then extrude and transform to my liking. Next was the texturing where I chose a ocean shader and changed it to look like the coke color that was more of a brown color, here I could change the foam color and the

Pass, Merit, Distinction

Image
Bobby has a pass because he only used basic terminology and didn't use detail in order to get a merit. He had no spelling errors in the draft or the final thing, but the final thing was just the draft as he didn't edit it at all.  Rosie got a merit because she used generally correct terminology. In her draft she wrote many words wrong such as zombie "zombi" but she fixed these in her final, making her work a merit as well as explaining the nature and purpose. Zainab got a distinction for consistently using subject terminology correctly and also fixing lots of errors in his draft. In his draft he wrote you as "u" and also added a :) face at the end which is very unprofessional. He also went into massive detail to give him this grade. Mind Map
