Modeling Project 09/03/2017

So today I have been trying to get the High to low poly bake to work but so far my normal map that comes out of it doesn't look right, the first was using surface normals and the second was using geometry normals. This is the first two attempts of normal maps that I attempted myself using the powerpoint slide Matt gave us to help us in learning how to create normal maps.

Surface Normal Map:

Geometry Normal Map:

For my first two attempts it wasn't too bad but I need to find out why it comes out so weird in the normal map with the colour.

After last week it seemed that I was still getting black mars appear on the model when trying to bake the high poly onto the low poly which I still couldn't figure out. I don't know if it has anything to do with the UV itself or an error between the models when they try and bake.

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.

Rise of the Tomb Raider PC Release

So yesterday Rise of the Tomb Raider finally released on PC after so long of it only being on consoles. I played quite a bit of the game on the Xbox One however I am most looking forward to be able to get it for PC because I want to see what those graphics look like maxed out on PC. The game has some really cool mechanics especially with the bow being able to climb walls if you shoot an arrow into certain walls. As well as that there are some amazing scenery and game playing it. IGN rated this game a 9.3/10 Summary: Rise of the Tomb Raider follows up on Crystal Dynamics' redefining prequel/reboot to the Lara Croft saga. In Rise of the Tomb Raider, Lara becomes more than a survivor as she embarks on her first great Tomb Raiding expedition.
