CG Character Development Session 30

Session Review

Continuing from yesterdays session, I have created the eye sockets using the same techniques I followed to shape the mouth hole.

Furthermore, I simply adjust the anatomy of the nomad body further by pulling in vertices along the chest area to create further muscle definition and make it look less weak and wimpy.

Moreover, after following Ryans tutorial where he creates the box for the ear, i had to return to following the 3ds max tutorial and follow the steps to shape the ear In addition, duplicated the head I had so far and combined it with the African shaped head.

CG Character Development Session 46

Session Review Figure a Following on from the previous session, over the past week I have proceeded to create a series of my own texture in order to replace most of the ones I located across the internet in order to avoid plagiarism and make the nomad character as authentic in its production as possible. Figure b Moreover, considering that my other classmates have applied bump maps to their characters in order to add definition to their character's clothing. I recalled a free piece of software known as "Crazy Bump" which is a quick and easy way to create bump maps from image files. It is also worth mentioning that when applying the bump map that the type of bump map is set as shown in figure a. The reason I chose to use my map as a "Tangent Space Normals" is because to my understanding from the tutorial it is normally used for standard game models according to the instructor. Additionally, the bump maps have applied a tremendous amount ...

CG Character Development Session 45

Session Review Returning to the nomad after experimenting with the available materials in maya ( figure 1) . The decision was made to return to make another series of uv mapping attempts and it was through the guidance of a classmate that I discovered a useful uv mapping tutorial that required time to observe in order to drink in the information. Figure 1 Moreover, the methods James Taylor used were simple and easy enough o intellectual follow as well as practically follow;however, I noticed that each limb of the instructors character was a separate mesh so I referred to auto desks website read their methods of separating areas of a model until the operated pieces are individual objects. Furthermore, while I was repeating the methods of un wrapping to the leg it was tedious but pleasing that I noticed several vertices in the leg were not merged together. In addition, I had to create a new foot purely because the previous version I had had terrible topology and at...
