 Toolkit 1 (3D)

24th September 2024

Within this lesson we looked at maya and created a potion bottle, using the instruction and help from are teacher, with him showing us all sorts of short cuts and tool that will help us make are models better.  





Homework

For the homework I had to finish the potion bottle that I was making in lesson and then also using the knowledge I have make my own second bottle. the last few bits I had to do for my first bottle, was to add in the wax seal around the neck of the bottle, and the the stopper on the top of the bottle.

For this lesson well be talking about the the history and use of UV Mapping and why it is used within 3D modelling, and why it can add to are models and help us within are future.

right click model - vu shell

unfold bar - unfold



Select edges and then go to cut and sew and then select stitch together.
Then when done move it to the side, to make room for another one.



select the second easiest one. which is the band around the neck of the model.


select it with UV shell and then go to create bar, 



select one side edge and then cut. select bottom horizontal edge and cut again, then unfold it 


I had used the edge select and first selected the neck up and selected the the bottom of the neck and the top bit. then also selected one of the edges of the horizontal side of the neck. then I cut and then unfolded.

For this lesson well be adding the textures to are potion bottle. we had started my selecting every bit of are model and then going into file and then down to export selection. clicking that brought up a files and then we saved the model as and FBX export and then saved it into files to then be brought into substance painting. 


Within substance painter we first went though and looked at everything within this program, looking though its library of textures and how they work.





we backed the model so that it would be ready to add the textures to.


After backing the model, we selected the different parts of are models and then when to layers and added a bucket layer then added a base layer for each of them so that it would be ready to go into more detail. 


                                                                                                                                                                  Using the paint brush tool I was able to add on my own style for this model, starting off with the stopper of the model. the stopper like the base of the bottle is supposed to be made out of glass, so for it I colour picked the the main colour I had slapped onto the model and decreased the saturation of the colour so that id have a much lighter colour that I'd be able to use for the rim light of the glass. Covering each side with the same pattern to help make it look like glass from ever angle of the model.

Potion Bottel by RY4N870 on Sketchfab


22nd October 2024

Withing this lesson we started with a new project within 3D, creating a sci-fi base using a pre made orthographic turn as are guide for the build. 





29th October 2024

Within this lesson we carried on with creating a 3D model of a sci-fi building, using the pre made orthographic turn to use as the plan for the build. we had left off with making the smaller cone like building, since it would be the easiest to make. And now were going to go and start working of the main bigger building. we started off with making the hardest part of the build the large concaved screen at the front of it. the reasons for this is to get the hardest bit out the way as soon as possible and its also what were going to use to build other parts of the build, with it acting as a build off point of them.




To star off we took at cylinder model and them selecting its faces removed the top and bottom faces and half of the side, to make it easier to reshape it into the dome like shape it needs to be. 






After doing that we then went onto making sure that it was in line with the images and making sure that it was the right wight and size for it, using the scale and move tool to help us do that.

selecting the bottom edges of the cylinder I can extrude them down and to fit into the shape that fits with the reference images.

    Excellent start Ryan, keep plugging away at painting thise textures. If you feel confident create one of your design, that would be cool to see.

    Also........ Avoid doing long posts, use a diary format, regular small posts. I wanted to comment on the UV s specifically but they are tucked away in a stream,

(Ryan Cudworth) Pre Project - Hero

Ryan Cudworth Hello, as I have said my name is Ryan Cudworth. I'm an Games Art Student and I like creating and drawing traditional and digital art and I've done a bit of 3D work as well. I'd like to become an concept artist for a gaming studio and maybe one day make my own comic.  I had chosen to go into doing Games Art course since I have always liked being creative and drawing, just as much as I've liked playing tones of different games, and always wanted to help make a game of my own one day, so the chance to go into and Games Art course I wasn't going to pass up that chance.  Here is the work that I had done for my pre project. I had done my work inside of PowerPoint, since it was the most easy way of formatting all my work together and less stressful.   for this project we were tasked to create a concept for a hero character for a new game that would allow people to create and grow their own hero and make it just like them. to help show that we also had to make...

Designing A Game World   By Ryan Cudworth For this project, we have been given the task to design a game world. More specially we have been given two sets of prompts That will have to use together to help us create and design the environment for this assessment. For the first promises that we have been given a list of around five different environments in which we can choose to use for our assignment, And for the second we have been given Also five different cultural artefacts That will have to pick from and choose design details and shapes within them to help us design and crate environment. We are supposed to take these two different prompts and somehow figure out how to put them together in a way that would work. We have free range on which type of environment And artefacts we choose and how we decide to put it together.  Will have to create Around 100 different concept sketches just for the basic style and look for our environment. These concepts sketches are supposed to g...

Designing A Games World: Summative Submission By Ryan Cudworth Research I’ll be starting off my research by talking about my source material that I was given for this project And going into detail of what this project is about and all the different tasks that I’ve been said to help me work my way through this project.  For the project itself, but we were given the test to create an environment based on a prompt that we could choose ourselves that would be of the type of environment that would be creating all of them being different types of buildings or environments that were around a fantasy setting for a hypothetical game. These prompts included different kinds of huts or interiors that we could choose from, this is so that we can’t just go wild with our ideas and create whatever we like. We need to stick to a certain prompt that would be very useful later on when we work into a game company or whatever and they tell us what we need to create something for. We need to be able to ...
