Final Project

This is the Jubilee Church created by American architect Richard Meier. I couldn't figure out how to do the final rendering for the 3D model, but I got the basic parts of the architecture down.

Architecture Final Project

I kind of started the architecture project a little late, but I am getting the hang of modeling in 3DS Max. I am having a little trouble curving the three similar objects to the left of the picture, but other than that everything is going well.

I am now finished modeling this robot. I have smooth all the objects, and applied material/color to them. Now, I'm starting on the architecture PowerPoint.

The basic modeling of the robot is almost finished. All I have left before smoothing and close to finalizing is the rest of the jet pack and the two eye things on the front of the robot.

I have now finished the basic modeling of the leg, and now I'm working on the basic modeling of the jet pack.

I am finished with the basic modeling for the arms, including the gun barrel. Now I am working on the basic modeling for the legs of the robot.

The basic shoulder and arm parts of the robot are almost done, except that the cutting tool is being annoying and not letting me cut certain objects.

Starting to get the basic parts of the robot done, and it is getting easier to create objects in 3ds Max than it is in Maya. It has a more artistic feel to it which is helping a lot.

I am now fresh-minded and starting on the robot project. Setting up the reference images was tough, but it was better than setting them up in Maya.

In the video, I was shown how to smooth and harden edges to make the model have a finished look.

I am now into the smoothing part of the robot making sure the arms and the important areas are smoothed right. 

I am to the part where the robot is getting the hips put on it.

I just watched the first and second module of the intro to 3ds max 2015.

Still working on the side of the car, and learning how to extrude more and fix the vertices so that I can make the front and back of the car.

https://app.pluralsight.com/player?course=automotive-modeling-maya-1266&author=justin-marshall&name=automotive-modeling-maya-1266-m2&clip=4&mode=live

Extruding the side of the car to get it more aligned so I can add more details to the car.

https://app.pluralsight.com/player?course=automotive-modeling-maya-1266&author=justin-marshall&name=automotive-modeling-maya-1266-m2&clip=3&mode=live

Starting out on the basic parts of the sides of the car. Next time, I will extruding from the front of the sides to make the front basic part of the car.

https://app.pluralsight.com/player?course=automotive-modeling-maya-1266&author=justin-marshall&name=automotive-modeling-maya-1266-m2&clip=2&mode=live

I'm now starting to work on the car model, and going to build from the bottom up.

On the last few videos, and learning how to put the uv map on the different parts of the ogre correctly.

I'm still trying to figure out the making on this ogre, and cutting different parts of the ogre to apply planar mapping.

https://app.pluralsight.com/player?course=uv-mapping-workflows-maya-1787&author=eddie-russell&name=uv-mapping-workflows-maya-1787-m2&clip=15&mode=live

I am learning about the different assets of uv mapping, and getting to the part to put a uv material on the ogre.

https://app.pluralsight.com/player?course=uv-mapping-workflows-maya-1787&author=eddie-russell&name=uv-mapping-workflows-maya-1787-m2&clip=9&mode=live

Starting the UV Mapping videos, and seeing how it goes.

https://app.pluralsight.com/player?course=uv-mapping-workflows-maya-1787&author=eddie-russell&name=uv-mapping-workflows-maya-1787-m2&clip=5&mode=live

I am now getting ready to start the car project. Right now, I'm looking for reference images so I can get started.

This is the best I'm probably going to get on this drone. I'm finished with this project.

I am now texturing the drone, and will be finishing this project soon. The rendering was being difficult because the metal is still looking like cloth, but I solved that problem by re-rendering the object.

https://app.pluralsight.com/player?course=maya-modeling-fundamentals&author=justin-marshall&name=maya-modeling-fundamentals-m8&clip=0&mode=live

I added the bottom base of the drone with screws, and now I'm probably going to skip ahead to the texturing of the drone so that I start my next project.

https://app.pluralsight.com/player?course=maya-modeling-fundamentals&author=justin-marshall&name=maya-modeling-fundamentals-m8&clip=0&mode=live

I got the propellers on with the propeller base attached to them, and now I'm getting started on detailing the bottom of the drone. 

https://app.pluralsight.com/player?course=maya-modeling-fundamentals&author=justin-marshall&name=maya-modeling-fundamentals-m4&clip=5&mode=live

https://app.pluralsight.com/player?course=maya-modeling-fundamentals&author=justin-marshall&name=maya-modeling-fundamentals-m5&clip=0&mode=live

I now have propeller with the propeller cap, and next I might be doing the battery.

https://app.pluralsight.com/player?course=maya-modeling-fundamentals&author=justin-marshall&name=maya-modeling-fundamentals-m4&clip=4&mode=live

I put coils inside the base of the propeller, and put a cap on it to create the propeller wings to attach to the cap.

https://app.pluralsight.com/player?course=maya-modeling-fundamentals&author=justin-marshall&name=maya-modeling-fundamentals-m4&clip=1&mode=live

I created the motor base for the drone, and I had to delete and extrude polygons to get the semi-final object finished. 

https://app.pluralsight.com/player?course=maya-modeling-fundamentals&author=justin-marshall&name=maya-modeling-fundamentals-m4&clip=1&mode=live

I learned how to move a duplicated object over by grouping and mirror different objects in outliner.

https://app.pluralsight.com/player?course=maya-modeling-fundamentals&author=justin-marshall&name=maya-modeling-fundamentals-m3&clip=6&mode=live

I did a wire for the drone and added the the other side of the bottom legs. Also, I might have fixed the wire causing problems for the drone.

https://app.pluralsight.com/player?course=maya-modeling-fundamentals&author=justin-marshall&name=maya-modeling-fundamentals-m3&clip=5&mode=live

I added a lambert texture, but it's giving me trouble because it's selecting the entire object. I'm finished with this model.

I'm having trouble with the projects getting done in time, so I spent time in class this morning learning the deeper assets of 3D Modeling.

Starting to make the leg insets, and modified the drone just a bit on the bands and the arms.

https://app.pluralsight.com/player?course=maya-modeling-fundamentals&author=justin-marshall&name=maya-modeling-fundamentals-m3&clip=2&mode=live

Made a seam around the drone, and made a band to put around the other arms of the drone. Also, I cleaned up in areas that needed it.

https://app.pluralsight.com/player?course=maya-modeling-fundamentals&author=justin-marshall&name=maya-modeling-fundamentals-m2&clip=6&mode=live

Finished with the base creation of the drone, and now I'm going into the major details. I had to use the tool extrude a bunch, and my model is starting to get somewhere.

https://app.pluralsight.com/player?course=maya-modeling-fundamentals&author=justin-marshall&name=maya-modeling-fundamentals-m1&clip=6&mode=live

Working on the drone arm, and getting ready to do the next step in building it, or in other words, detailing it. 

https://app.pluralsight.com/player?course=maya-modeling-fundamentals&author=justin-marshall&name=maya-modeling-fundamentals-m1&clip=3&mode=live

I'm getting ready to make the engine for the robot, and I finished the vents on the front and back of the robot.

https://app.pluralsight.com/player?course=maya-2017-introduction-2535&author=justin-marshall&name=maya-2017-introduction-2535-m3&clip=2&mode=live

The project is still coming a long. I added vents on the back of the robot, and getting closer to making the arms.

Again, I'm making progress to my "robot", not a ship. I put the vents on the front, and getting ready to make the arms.

https://app.pluralsight.com/player?course=maya-2017-introduction-2535&author=justin-marshall&name=maya-2017-introduction-2535-m3&clip=0&mode=live

https://app.pluralsight.com/player?course=maya-2017-introduction-2535&author=justin-marshall&name=maya-2017-introduction-2535-m2&clip=7&mode=live

More progress on the ship.

I worked on the ship some more, and I'm getting the hang of 3D Modeling. It's a lot easier to do the tutorials and doing the project at the same time. I'm about 40% of the way done.

I'm getting the model created slowly but surely. Also, I'm almost to the part where I can model the windshield and the arms.

 

I saw how to manipulate textures deeper and more effectively. Also, I saw how to make the object have a gradient in the fans on the back to brownish-white.

https://app.pluralsight.com/player?course=maya-2017-introduction-2535&author=eddie-russell&name=maya-2017-introduction-2535-m5&clip=10&mode=live

I started the project a little late because I thought we were just doing tutorials, and then do the project.  Today, I got the basis down on the modeling of the Space Ship.

I learned which textures are which such as 2D and 3D textures.

https://app.pluralsight.com/player?course=maya-2017-introduction-2535&author=eddie-russell&name=maya-2017-introduction-2535-m5&clip=8&mode=live

I'm in the tutorial using the UV tool to make textures look more like the spaceship. I followed along and manipulated the textures to make them similar the other parts of the object.

https://app.pluralsight.com/player?course=maya-2017-introduction-2535&author=eddie-russell&name=maya-2017-introduction-2535-m5&clip=3&mode=live

I watched how to make certain textures look metallic and shiny by adding nodes, and selecting an object in viewport to transfer the material onto the object.
