After I finished applying all the textures and materials to my old well on substance painter, I then exported all the textures to sketchfab, where I would also import my 3D well asset into. In sketchfab I applied all my substance textures to the model. I had a little difficulty at first with the brickContinue reading Digital Literacy Week 6 – Sketchfab upload and link
After I had textured the brick well on another save file, I began to texture the upper section of my well. For the wooden structure I added a rough wood material and changed the scale. I changed the scale so that the wood grain could be seen better and to make it an appropriate sizeContinue reading Digital Literacy Week 6 – Substance painter on upper well structure
My next step, after the completion of the UV mapping was to import the model into substance painter. This was my favorite part as I enjoy using substance painter, and it always amazes me how it can make models look so realistic and stylized, depending on the UV work. I brought the well into substanceContinue reading Digital Literacy Week 6 – Substance painter on the brick well
Since last blog post I have finished the model of my well. I had initially modeled the individual bricks for the base of the well. I group the bricks into two sections and added a Lambert material to them. However in class, my lecturer had given me some advice as to why it wasn’t suchContinue reading Digital Literacy Week 6 – Finished Model and UV Mapping
This week in Digital Literacy we had another go at using substance painter. This time Henry sent us a model of a watering can which we then took to substance painter and added our materials and textures to. I enjoy using substance painter because it really brings the model to life, and looks very realisticContinue reading Digital Literacy Week 5 – Substance painter practice and some modeling progress on Old well
In week 4 of Digital Literacy I spent some more time on Maya, to try and get more practice on UV unwrapping. Alec, our lecturer posted up a quick demo on placing textures on a dice using the UV editor. I found this demo informative and easy enough to understand. After this I got aContinue reading Digital Literacy Week 4 – Tie Interceptor model and introduction to Substance painter
This week we learned to use the UV edit to unwrap and texture our 3D assets. This is an aspect I have found most challenging so far since I started using Maya. In class we went through a few tutorials with Mike then had a go at attempting it ourselves. We had created a cubeContinue reading Digital Literacy Week 3 – Coke can, dice and hammer textures
In week 2 of digital literacy, we got a more in depth look at Maya during class. Mike had created a milkshake cup on Maya in class. I didn’t want to work along with him on Maya as it could distract me from what Mike was doing so I watched along first before doing anyContinue reading Digital Literacy Week 2 – Milkshake tutorial and Old well concepts/references/Inspiration
On week 1 of the digital literacy course, we had just come in fresh from the cactus tutorial from the week before. We were shown the basic aspects of Maya for the first week, just to help break us in a bit and to get used to the basics of Maya from the beginning. InContinue reading Week 1 – Digital Literacy – Tables and chairs
Before our first class of Semester two, Alec had posted a series of tutorial videos to watch and follow along. The subject of the videos was a cute cactus character. The videos were very helpful and informal. We started from scratch, sculpting the plant pot from a basic cone shape, then creating the cactus startingContinue reading Digital Literacy, 3D Cactus tutorial
