week 8

I didn't really do much today i had a go at animating a camera through my kitchen scene dut the image was to big and it closed on me. I felt pretty sick today so other than just playing around on modeler and lightwave i just looked at 3d models on the internet, finding out that some of the things people make are hard to tell apart from the real thing. I had a little bit of a think about what im going to make for my final project, i have decide that i dont really want to make something really lifelike with lots of textures and that, but maybe design a simple yet fun looking character, which would look good as a 3d character, im thinking bright solid colours, maybe a real cartoony looking character which looks a bit street art.

Week7

Week 7 the due date wasn't to sure i would finish it but i did, but i had to get the jist of lightwave in like 10 mins. I think with just a little more playing around on lightwave i will get the hang of the idea of all the lights and where to place them all to create the day and night scenes. I am happy with my progress in this class and think i should be able to create something good for the next project. I still need to get more practice with lightwave, to get the hang of it better. I also think that by using lightwave it will help me understand the idea of lighting, for when i take photos and make movies.

I don't believe that my kitchen is all that surreal, but i think the textures make it a bit more surreal than it is. I'm pretty happy with the final product, all my hard work in class in class has paid off. Haven't really put much thought into what im going to make for my final project but im sure it will be fantastic whatever it is.

week6

Todays class was very productive, my kitchen is looking like a kitchen now, but alas it need to be a surreal kitchen. It looks too normal, some of the things in it my be a bit out of place but not surreal, i think i will have to rely on the lighting and textures to make it surreal.
Im feeling more confident with the program now and am experimenting with things to see what they do. sometimes i draw a blank as to how to make something but after looking a a few pictures i get a good idea on how to make something.
Today i made a fridge, oven, hoods, stove top and a tap. They all look pretty generic, i had an idea of making a cone fridge but there was to much thinking with how to put the door on so i scraped that idea. I think im most happy today with my stove top and there hoods. I have started to put my other objects in the kitchen, and arranging them into nice places, ive got my soda syphon on the table at the moment and the teapot in the corner. All i really have to do now is put a few more objects in then put it into lightwave. Im a bit iffy on lightwave and i hope i have enough time to finish it all.
