Textures

Textures I used and where I found them
 

Table and skirting board

In 3-D max I made a table and a skirting board for the table I used The same process as I did when making the vase for the legs, apart from I didn't drag the centre out to make equal halves I just used the laive tool. I then duplicated the leg three times so that I had 4 table legs and then I re-sized them so there were all the same size. Afterwards I put a top on the table and cut out the middle where I filled it with another box and turned it into glass.

Unity (warehouse)

I first started by opening the program and this I adjusted the sceen layout and turned the grid on.

I then started up a new file and restarted the program then imported all the meshes and textures I needed by copying and pasting them into the right place so I could use them. After it had finished I started to place the objects on to the grid using 0,0,0 for the cordinates. Pre-hand they I had re-size all the objects to 1 instead of 0.1, once all the objects where in place I could switch to the game screen and play on what was there. But since there was no light I couldn't see where I was goingwhilst playing, so I added a global light temporaly so I could see where I was going. I took screenshots of the gameplay screen.

Research (Stash media)

On Stashmedia.tv website there is whole bunch of video media such as advertisements, music videos and short films created by companys for T.V and the internet. I'll list a few that I thought were interesting

Shapeshifter Link
Short film: 2:12

I liked this one because of the way the film starts off showing a normal car driving along a road at night time, Then the car starts to break away and transform in to a animal after animal. The animals that the car transform into match the terrarin they are in, such as deers running through a forrest and and the fish in the sea. The music isn't overpowering either and suits the film and the end the last animal which is a eagle flys through a tunnel and when it comes back out the other side it's a car again.

Making a vase and tube

Firstly I made a cylinder in 3D Max I then went to the menu shapes > lines and maximized the viewport toggle so I could see the grid full screen. I went about drawing half a vase with a straight line down the middle, ater I went to modify > lathe > axis and by sliding the middle around I was able to create a basic vase.

Artist Research

The reason for me choosing Harald Belker is because I like the way he creates vechiles and the way they look smooth and futuristic. He how many of them look like concepts, he was worked on things for movies, games and even toys with the likes of hotwheels. Not only does he draw vechiles he does weapons and props aswell, also characters. His work could inspire my work with all his designs and the way he creates things that look futuristic.

3-D house continued

After I learned how to make glass in 3-D Max I put glass windows into the house I made previously. First I grouped all the pieces of the window together so I could move them all at once and then I re-sized it to fit the window into the wall. And then duplicating the window so for the other walls. The spotlight lighting was still there and the floor didn't have any have texture.
