Week 2 Exercise

This week, I looked at different collections of 3D nurbs models, to get a bit of an idea of how they work and how to get a handle on them. One model in partyicular, that stood out to me was one by Siddharth Chari, found here, on the website Sketchfab. The model is of a vintage telephone, made completely using Nurbs. The detail stood out to me, as well as the textures.



For making my own model, I decided to try and make a tophat. It seemed simple enough, and I was still trying to get the hang of working with curves. I drew my initial curve, and edited the points to make it more precise. However, upon rotating it, I found that the head-hole was a bit too small.


I went back and edited the curve, and created a slightly more accurate version. Lookin good!

    Nice model. We're going to go over several techniques for creating surfaces this week. The main difference between your model and the example you showed is persistence and a little bit of understanding of how to combine surfaces.

Week 6 Exercise

 Last week, I was focused on building the bedroom from Yume Nikki, out of NURBS models. I created most of it, enough to get the gist. But the scene needed textures to really come to life. So, I ripped most of the colors that I will be using directly from the game itself, while taking a few liberties. I added an image onto the rug, to make it look like the rug in the game, and I would definitely like to do this on the walls as well, and maybe add some image textures to make it loo similar to the game. Hopefully, I plan on creating some camera animation, and adding a few more lights and flat images onto the scene to bring it to life a bit more.

Final Animation For my final, I expanded upon the scene I created for my midterm. I tweaked some of the bedroom, and added more complex camera animation. I wanted to simulate how it would feel to walk around the original game, but in a 3D space. I had wanted to include a bit of character animation towards the end, maybe with something coming out of the door, but ultimately ran out of time. If I had had more time for this project, I definitely would have wanted to add some character animation and also improved upon the shaders and lighting as well. Self Evaluation: Over the semester, I feel as if I learned a decent amount of things. I had done a little bit of modeling in Blender before, but had never worked with Maya, and have never really done any kind of 3D animation before. I think my 3D animation skills have for sure increased a lot now compared to the beginning of the semester. As someone who has been really into watching animation for a while, my favorite aspect has definitely bee...
