Description
Choose a single “real world” object and using polygonal modeling techniques you will replicate the object. Begin by photographing the object to create reference image planes to use as the basis for your model.
Create a continuously looping turntable animation and export it to a 1080p HD mp4 file.
Create 1 “beauty shot” animation and 1 “playblast” animation with the wireframe topology of your model visible.
Post the movie files to your blog along with a reference photos of the original object.
Export your model and convert it to an stl/obj file to be printed at a later date.
Warning: be prepared to start over multiple times.
Objectives
Objectives of the project are:
Learn a workflow for 3D modeling
Learn the basics of polygonal modeling in Maya
create a finished object
Basic texturing with hyper shader
3-point lighting set up
Requirements
Your project should include:
- A finished 3D modeled object replicated from a
real world object - 2 mp4 video files in 1080p HD: beauty and wireframe
On your blog: - Project Proposal
- Artist Research Assignment
- Process Posts (min. 3)
- Final videos and reference photos
