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.

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...
