Normal Mapping!!

i got my props completed... 554 polys (1108 tris) not bad... i had a 750 poly limit
now time to make them AWESOME and highly detailed!

Props Assignment---Adv. 3D Modeling

So the first assignment was a toughy!
i never textured my models in my last class with the UVW Unwrap modifier so this was brand new to me!
But with the help of my friend toasty, i was able to get this done!

Get ready for next update soon with normal maps! very high detailed low poly props :D

Final for Principles of 3D Modeling

Final Render
Here is the Final Animation I created.

About Time I Post Something New!!

So here's the dealio!
I've been super...SUPER busy with my other classes. Im sure you dont want me to update my American Literature research paper on my blog haha.

But anyway, ive been doing a lot of animation which requires more time and effort to make them into a video and post on my blog.
....also my WoW addiction is slowly coming back!
...must...not...follow...the...light.....EPICS!!!
anyway... i've been working on my final for 3D Modeling and its coming along great... i still have a lot of work to do.

Water is something new to me in 3Dsmax. Making it just right takes lots of time and tweaking.

But! good news is that i found some mistakes in the terrain which im sure you can tell with this post that can be fixed easily.

I'd like to take the time to thank my friends and family who look,follow and comment my work as i go through school. It means a lot.

Anyway.. here you go!

I plan to add lots of trees, (dead on the left, Living on the right) kinda going for the grass is greener on the other side :)
Animate birds flying...doodads like bushes... grass, rocks and stuff.
Enjoy!

Canyon Scene Final

Starting to work on my Final for class.
I plan on adding a rope bridge, river, a horse and a small tent and fire pit.
This isn't due till Mid-June, doesn't hurt to start on it now. :)

Week 6: Landscape Assignment

Here is the final version of my Landscape Assignment for Principles of 3D Modeling Class.
Enjoy and post your comments!

Landscape WIP!

Now here is my forte!
Environments! Here is a very basic concept design.
Most likely not what it will turn out to be. It with be more detailed like my desert scene i have posted before. This is just a rough model.
Keep checking back through out the week for updates!



****UPDATE****
wooooo on my way to making an awesome landscape!


****UPDATE****
Working with VUE going to get a nice panoramic scene. just gotta wait 5 hours till it renders out lol.
couple low poly simple buildings to add. You can tell im spending more time on world than my objects :).






****UPDATE****
Well, im disappointed with VUE a bit because i had some problems. BUT its a new program to me and i shall learn it and get better at it. You can see the possibilities i have with it in my last update.
So im just going to stick with MAX with this assignment.
Here is what i have so far. need to add a couple more buildings and tweak lights and render settings and it shall be complete!


****UPDATE****
So i dropped the texture of the landscape because it draws to much focus from the buildings as well. so i decided to make it a clay render and add some ridge like walls to my scene. now you can tell whats all in my scene :D
Almost done....doing some final touch ups and its looking great so far!
