First animation

This is my first attempt at at animation

20th october 2010 in 3D max

This is what we did today in 3Dmax

We used the text tool in the spline section and then applied different textures to them.

Here are 6 renders of my name in different textures the names of the textures in order.
Wood
Swirl
Splat
Smoke
Planet
Marble

Here is a professional example I like the top left and bottom two fonts more than mine because they have different textures on the front than they do on the top.
The top right is a good font because it has a high specular level and reflects light.
If these examples where all 10 out of 10 then i would give mine a 7 out of 10 due to the fact that the specular level is not very high and the front and top are the same texture.

Every wednesday we do tutorials on 3d max where we learn to make different thing using different techniques.

This is my pick up truck made from box modeling techniques. I extruded parts to make the bumper.

I edited the edges and pulled them in to give the car a more realistic shape.

At the start i was detaching the polygons and then changing the colour but then i found out about the material tool and used that to make the windows and wheels different colours.

I then got a Nissan logo and blank number plate and put them on the car by dragging them from my pictures to a plane in 3d max and moved the plane into the position i wanted it in then by using the text tool i wrote SW33T RID3 on the number plate but for some reason it didn't show up in the render.

Then to finish it off i put a road just below it.

We then had a challange to make our own car. I decided to make a f1 car. I wanted to make a mclaren because these are my favorite f1 team but i souldnt figure out how to do the red parts on the side so i made a ferrari.

I used the extrude tool to make the wheels look more like f1 tyres.

Colour chart

I have made this colour chart to see which colours look best in front of green. In my opinion there are 2 colours that look good these are red, blue. Due to the fact that there are 2 colours and 2 teams i am going to make one of them have a red kit and one team to have a blue team.

The 4 fonts i might use.

 

1. Top left
2. Top right
3. Bottom left
4. Bottom right

1. I like this font because it is digital and it looks like it could be of a game. I think this will fit well since it is in media and games rooms.
2. I like this font because it is ver editable in photoshop as toy can fill it in with different colours and textures.
3. This is my least favorite of the four but i put it in because it looked quite intersting due to the fact that the top of the letters are just straight lines.
4. I like the final font design as it looks like there is little plants growing out of it and the football pich is grass which is a plant

These are the two final fonts that i am going to use i am going to use the digital (below) to do the 6 rules and i am going to use the other font (above) to do the midia suite part.
