3D Modelling - Lightsabre Hilt



So today we were tasked with three tasks one of these three was to model something whether it be for your game or something for you VFX or  just something from your head. So my idea was to model a lightsabre hilt from scratch with no insights or anything to base it on this was completely from my head into 3ds max. This could've been very bad as because I had an idea of what I wanted it to look like but whether it would turn out like that would be another question. So far I have just finished modelling the hilt and I like the way it has turned out, the shape is very simplistic but I believe once it is textured it will make it look even more better.

So the next part of this process that I needed to do is UV unwrap it and at first it looked really bad but I managed to get the UV sorted and looking pretty nice. 

It looks a bit weird but when I am texturing this it will be simple because I will have 3ds max open so I know which part needs to be a certain texture.

More updates on this is coming for when I have textured this.

So far I like the way the model has come out and that I managed to get my ideas worked out and looking pretty nice and I can't wait to get it texture and see what it looks like. I do have one idea but I will need to see if it is possible and that would be to have a crystal in the middle of the hilt  supported by the inside of the hilt but I might incorporate something like that into a different model as I have an idea for another hilt.



This is my lightsabre hilt fully textured and looking very nice if I do say so myself. The texture is more of a rusted look as I made it to be more like a forgotten relic that has been buried for such a long time. I may still do a more polished version like it had just been made including a crystal in the middle of it if it is possible.

Now that is textured it looks a lot better than just the model and I like it so much more now.

Model [Doomhammer Model]

So today we decided to do some more 3d modeling. The models could be of anything we like of any genre so I decided that because I have played World of Warcraft in the past and it is a game I enjoy I decided to model one of the weapons in the game. The weapon i chose was Doomhammer which happens to be very nice model and has some nice detail in the model. The picture I chose to help: As you can tell the model looks quite difficult however a lot of the detail in the model can just be done with texturing the only part I could worry about or just not have on the model is the cloth above the hilt that sticks out but we shall see what happens when it comes to me texturing the model. My model so far: The shape of my model is looking very similar to what the original looks like and I am enjoying making the model as this is definitely developing my skills in 3ds max as well as texturing. I will be updating this post with every time the model is updated.

Synoptic Project So far Personal & Group

So this post is just an update on the Synoptic Project so far as of right now we are onto week three of the synoptic project and so far the project that I am working is one of the ones I voted for when we were choosing which of the projects we were going to do. So for my job role in the project I am a 3d Modeler and so far I have been working on models that can be placed around the environment to fill up the environment so that it doesn't look empty when you are walking around the environment. So far I am enjoying the project and so far I am getting on pretty well with the task I have been given however it doesn't really have that much to it as I was just told to make some models to place in the environment so even though I know how the project needs to look and the theme of the project it is still quite hard to get the right type of models to go inside the environment. I have managed the work pretty efficiently so I am never left with nothing to do I have made sure that I ...

The 12 Principles of Animation

1: Squash and Stretch - this is how rigid or soft and object is. So an object will never just take one size so if you drop a ball from a height when it hits the floor it get squashed down and stretch out the sides of it. 2: Anticipation - An action that tells the viewer what will be happening next. So if someone is shooting a gun the anticipation of the person squeezing the trigger of the gun tells you that they are going to shoot it before the animation is even there. 3: Staging - Presenting your idea so it makes sense. This could be just how the area around the objects so in the film Monster House every house has either a picket fence or a wall however the monster house itself has no wall or fence which gives it a sort of feeling of dread and then house looking all dark. 4: Straight Ahead and Pose to Pose animating - Straight ahead animation is the process of animating each frame in order. Then you have pose to pose which is where you draw three key frames then go back to draw...
