Sunrise to sunset

Final product

My final movie and the May file used to create it.

Final Assessment

Some rendered shots from my final assessment.

The top one is the submitted image.

The bottom one is a zoom in on one of the letters so you can see the flying machine in the reflection. I thought it was clever.

Some more stuff. The cup shaped object to the left of the screen is supposed to be a see through glass. I got the effect working for the Cathedral shot below but I was unable to replicate it. Don't know what I am doing wrong. I will just try again until I succeed.

Tooning

Here are some shapes rendered using Toon. Gives the 3D image a 2D cartoon effect.

Week 3 Stuff

Redoing some stuff done in week 3. The MAC crashed at the end of the lesson and I lost what was done.

This is a combination of mentalray renderer, revolve tool and HDR image based lighting.

A glass on a copper table in St Peters cathedral.

Head No. 1

A few weeks ago I missed a lesson when we made a head, so I have gone and done one now. My first go at Sculpt Geometry Tool. I will have an other go soon.

nCloth

This week we are using nMesh to create some realistic animation.

Here is a sample of what I have done. The yellow ball and red cube are solid rubber and the red ball is a bag of water. The plane in the background is made from silk.

In this still shot the red ball is made from putty.

Maya Movie

This is a short movie (very short) created as a 3D animation test.

This is what it looks like before being smoothed.

Maya related blogs are from here up - 3D design is so far proving easier than I thought it would be, although because of the ANZAC day holiday I missed out on one class. The makeup lesson was done at the same time as another of my lessons.
So far I have worked on basic shape construction, manipulation and rendering. The lesson I missed included creating a face and a plane. I have not been able to attempt them yet because for some reason I am unable to download the lesson recordings. I will try again using Uni computers tomorrow.
