My biulding or professional biulding.




Here is a screenshot and a render of my holiday home that i made on 3D studio max.
I used this holiday villa as inspiration and added my own personal touch by adding cars and a gararge and i added some sunbeds.
 I used the modify and taper tool to pull up the roof of the building up to give it shape.
For the building and the cars i used basic primitives such as cylinders and boxes.
I am pleased with my end product and look forward to doing more 3D max challenges and hope to improve every time.
This is an example of a professional 3D model of a building it has a lot more detail and better colours than mine.
I think the 3 best parts about this building are the stairs near the bottom of the building the balcony at the top and the multiple story's that it has.
I feel that mine is better in one aspect this is the fact that i have done the land around the biulding using planes where as this is just the biulding.

Castle


















This is my castle that i made in 3D studio max. I used techniques such as tapering which allows you to modify the 4 castle corners.  Then i edited the outside of the castle and made a bridge over a moat. i also used the modify tool and turned the castle into an editable mesh. I edited one of the walls to make a door.

My 4 designs.

These are my 4 designs.
What i would do for each design.
  1. This is my football design i am putting football shirts then on the 22 shirts i am putting the icons. The football shirts are going to be on a green football pitch so i am going to look at colours that go well with green and fill in the football shirts the clolours that look good. 
  2. For my next design i am going to do a formula 1 grid. I am going to get little outlines of f1 cars and put the icons inside them.
  3. I am going to get the guitar hero background and use icons as the guitar buttons that come along and that you have to press when they get in the colored circles.
  4. For my final design i am going to do an f1 steering wheel it just so happens that a f1 wheel has 22 buttons and there are 22 icons on the desktop so i have thought i could put the icons as the buttons

This is the design that i actually want to use. There are 22 icons so 11 a side football. I am going to find two colours that go well with green and colour the shirts that i am going to put the icons on these colours i will also need to find 2 other colours as the goalkeepers usually wear different coloured shirts to outfield players. I am going to have the Shipley college logo in the top right and media suite in the top left. I am going to put the 6 rules on the subs bench 3 on each and i am going to put my robot and my football player that i made in 3d max as the managers of each team.
I am going to make my football pitch in 3d max do a view from above and render it then crop it in photoshop and add the football shirts and subs bench. 
I am then going to look into different fonts and find one that appeals to me and put in media suite. I am also going to find an interesting font for the 6 rules.
Then finally i am going to get two logos of two teams and then edit them in photoshop then put them at each side. this will be hard due to the fact that i will have to get teams that have the colour that i choose for the shirt as one of their shirts.

For the media suite i am going to edit the logo above by changing the colour of the lion and the football and remove barclays premier league and put in media suite.







This is my mind map

On my mindmap in content i missed out the 6 rules that we as students agreed on so here they are

1.       Attended classes regularly and on time.
2.       Apply yourself seriously to your studies.
3.       Respect college buildings and property.
4.       Student ID cards must be worn.
5.       Do not say anything that may offend anyone.
6.       Any forms of misconduct and serious misconduct.
This is my Mindmap for my desktop project.

This is the football player i have made in 3D studio max.
I originally tryed to put the goal infront of the football player but  then you were looking at him from behind and i wanted to look at him from the front so i put the goal behind him.
This is the robot i made on 3D studio max. First i made the head first with basic shapes such as geospheres and box's. Next was the body and again i used the box. Then to make the neck, arms and legs i went into the extended primitives section to get a shape called hose. Then i added the antennas to give it my own personal touch.

Unit 19 - desktop genre collage.

For the first part of this project I had to make a genre collage.
 The 4 genres were War, Fantasy, Sci-fi and Horror. I cut pictures out of magazines such as Edge. Then i stuck these pictures on to a sheet of A3 paper.
 I tried to position the pictures so that they overlapped slightly.

For the War pictures i looked for guns and tanks as these are the main weapons in the art of war.

For pictures that were fantasy i looked for people who looked like they are out of some fantasy style game such as final fantasy, most of these people had brightly colored hair and normally spiky or long flowing hair.

For sci-fi the obvious picture to get was a spaceship i tried to find pictures of star wars the force unleashed.

For the horror pictures i just looked for anything scary or that had blood or gore but i had to be careful not to be to Gorey as younger people might see it and it might scare them.

I found some pictures that overlapped into many different genres such as gears of war but i didn't know where to stick them on the page so i didn't stick them on.

If i was to do this again then i would try and fill in the space a bit more and maybe try to draw some pictures such as a gun or a spaceship for war and sci-fi.

This is my first piece of work on auto desk 3D max i have used shapes such as cones, spheres, pyramids and even teapots. I also used the move, rotate and scale tools. I was trying to make an abstract piece of work so i tried to put shapes at lots of different sizes and angles.

Forza motorsport 3

This is a picture of one of the fastest cars on forza motorsport 3 the Bugatti veyron. This image is from this site http://cdn.cbsi.com.au/story_media/339296770/bugatti-veyron.jpg

About my course and what i will be doing.

This is my blog where i am going to put screenshots and other pieces of my work and commenting on why and how i did each piece. In this gaming course i will be learning the basics of games production before before going into the more advanced part of the games production. I will be doing 3D modeling. Later on in the course i will be making games trailers and am looking forward to doing this and will be continuing to post blogs to inform you of what i have been doing.
