Another Side Project!!!

I have just discussed more work with another student, which i am really looking forward to getting into. i have been given a clay model which again needs to be brought into maya. This model is a goat, which is really good for me, giving me a wide range of different objects and characters. Again, i will show my workings and a build up of process.

As well as creating my animatic i am going through the process of creating a strong water shader which will be in my modelled ship scene. this is only a short clip, as i just wanted to see how it first looked, i can now work over this to make a stronger, better outcome.

The blog has not been updated recently. At this time i am managing my dissertaion, and sorting my own as well as other peoples projects. I have spoken to a few other people in the class that would like me to model some of their characters also. When i get these images i will post them onto my blog. I am also creating an animatic which will shortly be part of the blog.

Again i started by using the same process as the pistol, i started from the top down, i do this because i feel i can work on the important parts of the weapon first to move on to the less important parts (handle).

And here is the final picture, which has turned out well. i have stuck to my guidlines well, and am really grasping onto the techniques i need to have to model other/most drawings/pictures. I dont think i am going to use toon shader as it doesnt really span out my capabillities. If i do chose to use it, it will only be used in little of my models.

I am now going to make a few more weapons, in toon shader and then to go on, blocking out simple shapes in maya to make an animatic of my ideal final modelling reel.

this is the other rendered image i will introduce into the same image as below, to see if it works well in a toon shaded environment.

Here is the same pistol but with a more extended nozzle and wider body, much like a characterised version of the first modelled pistol. I am pleased with both of these models, and from this i have made an occluded version, as seen. i will bring the preset into the scene when i get the chance to, (when at university).
