Hammer time

Modeling

Modeling was hardest part of the project. The first thing I did with modeling was I created a cube and then I extruded another cube to create a head for my hammer. The next thing I did was use the multi cut took to create my claws and I chased my claws and the I curved them. After I did that I made my hammer head. I made my hammer head by using the extrude and move tool. I also used the bevel to create a rounded hammer head. Then I moved my handle to look like it was made for a human hand. I did that by moving the vertices using the extrude tool. Then I attempted to bevel the edges and I could not so I just left the hammer as is. Then I made the Nail. I made the nail by creating a cylinder and then I used the extrude tool to create the head and the tip.

Shading

For shading I shaded the Hammer handle first. I took the brown color he used in his own model and I applied it to the hammer handle. I did not know how to make it look like wood so I also just left that as is. Then I added a phong to the hammer head and I made it shiny. When I put the phong on originally it did not look like metal so I had to adjust how reflective it is. Last thing I shaded was the nail. I added a phong to the nail as well and I had to take that and adjust it as well. I also took the color he used for the nail and used that on my nail. Thats how I shaded my nail and my hammer handle and head

Lighting

Lighting was not too difficult. I added in my key light as a directional light and I did the same for my fill light and back light. I made the key light the strongest of fall of the three. Then I made the fill light the weakest and the back light the second strongest. But my lights don't really look like spotlights so I think I am doing something wrong. I am to sure if I should make my key light a spotlight or not in order to make th background light darker so you can't see the edge of the plane.

Fourth Quarter Presentations

Where have I been? Hello! For the past few weeks I have been working on a project for e-Communications. I have been working with a group of four people to create a product that can be useful to the public. Our tea name was Company Incorporated and our product was the magic pack. We created some coupons and graphics and this will be at the bottom of this blog. How well did our Team work together? Our team worked together really well. We got things done on time and sometimes even a little bit early. The team was really good at deciding on things and making sure everything was fair. Everyone did their part. If one person needed help then they could ask for help and receive it almost immediately. We all were very good a solving problems. For example we had a small dispute over the 2D animation and it was resolved really quickly, because he had a good system for soling problems. Majority rules. It worked every time plus we had an odd number so we never ran into any problems regardi...

Final Blog

Our Final Project in e-Comm Our final project this year was a group project. We had to come up with a product, and make up graphics and a website to go along with it. Then once we had done that we had to present our product and the website to other students in second hour e-Comm in a shark tank fashion. This project took an entire quarter. It took so long because we had around one week to do certain parts of the project. We spent the most amount of time working on our graphics for our company and our website. While working on the graphics we ran into some problems. Our team disagreed on the way the website graphics should look, we had to make many comprimises. Along the way I learned that you really need to listen to other peoples ideas, others ideas can really help make the content stronger an more visually appealing. My team got really good feedback, everyone said it was put together very well and it was really interesting. We had to change many things on our website and that is w...

Multiplane Animation

Image
Creating My Animation The first thing we did when creating this animation was create a very long template in photoshop. Then we divided it into four sections. Each section was a different layer and each layer had to be different than the others. This was really difficult for me. The trees were very hard to make and they took a lot of time to copy and paste then and then merge then all onto one layer. I didn't like how the trees turned out. Animating the plane Before we animated we watched videos on how multi plane animation works. We watched videos on how they used to do it back in the day. I think it was really cool but it also took really long. Anyways after I created the base in photoshop I began to animate it in After effects. I did not really learn anything new. But it was really easy to animate. Overall  I think this was not my best project. I do not like the color scheme I think its too dark and gloomy. I also do not like the style. I also messed up the anim...
