Maya Assignment: Week 05 - "Tower"

This week in Maya we had to make a tower.

Firstly we photo-bashed, which is where you put many photos together to make one final product. Here I had an image of a tower where I added nails and a straw.

After adding the straw on the tower I noticed that the tower looked like a water tower so I decided make it somewhat into a drink. I make the tower almost completely transparent so the tower looked more like a glass. Then I added a ocean shader for the water that was inside as well as texturing the straw.

Next I made some nails by simply extruding a cube and also adding a few helix polygons to make the nail have spirals and textured it in metal.


Finally I textured the base with grass and a little pond as well as a road which I added a small van delivering water.

Final words:

In conclusion I think that the tower went very well, as its geometry went overall very well and the textures all stuck well.

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
