Wordplay - Wed, February 26th, 9:30AM - 10:30AM

Began modeling my wordplay. My two words are "slippery" and "sticky".

Using the light beam from a free Tron car model, I gave the word Slippery a floor to help give a slippery floor effect. The word itself has an Ice Pearl texture.

Animating it so it slips across the floor was the easy part. The challenge, however, is making "slippery" transform into "sticky" after it trips and hits the wall.

I'll try more attempts next work period...

Oracle - Tree Modeling: Sunday, February 23rd, 1PM-5PM

These are just screenshots for my practice work on tree modeling. I'm sure what I learn here will help with my future modeling projects, and I can even incorporate one of these into my Fly Thru project.

Fly Thru (Modeling cont) - Sun, Feb 9, 2014 1:15 pm-3:15 pm

More work has been done to my fly thru.

The fireplace has been completed, I now need to find an animated fire for the logs. The room itself was looking rather empty, so I added a table, a small vase and doors on each side of the fireplace. I'm debating whether or not to add chairs. I also plan to add picture frames, but the arrays function has been a challenge to work with.

Upstairs, I added railings along the second floor planes, and now the room to the "surprise" aspect of the fly thru is present.

The "surprise" is currently in progress….

When I go back into the fly thru, I think I will put more focus on working on the outside of the fly thru. I need to add more windows still, and I would like to add trees around the mansion.

Oracle: 3D Model Search: Feb 3rd, 2014, 9:00 AM-11:00 AM

As a part of the Oracle project, I am responsible for making a prototype 3D render of the Oracle event. So far I found two objects to work with:

While the rocks came with textures to work with, the tree is going to be a challenge to render and make it look more like a a tree. It just looks like the branches are buried under flowy towels.

I found the models on this website.
