Art Test

I am now in finals for Computer Animation! It's super exciting, but it also makes me nervous at the same time.

Anyway, before we continued on to finals, we had to pass an Art Test of our chosen discipline. I chose Environment Modeling and we had 3 assets to model, texture, and light.

The first assignment was just to get our feet wet. We had to model a basic wrench, but texturing was not required. Simple lighting was okay for this project. Overall, I didn't run into any trouble with it. Everything flowed smoothly with this assignment




Our second project focused on a vase. For this, our job was to model, texture, and light the scene. The model when fairly okay. The cloth was a little changeling to model and texture, and I know I need to practice modeling fabric and folds, but overall, it was fine. The project as a whole seemed a little daunting at first, but once I started working, everything seemed to work out.



For the final assignment, we had a concept art piece. We had to match the modeling, texturing, and lighting as closely as possible. This was mainly a texturing project, since the reference was an illustration and not a photograph. Painting the texture went by fine. Matching the hue and saturation became a little challenging, but overall, I was able to match it to the reference. The only thing that I was kicking myself for was that I forgot to texture the small door hinges before turning it in. Oh well. I'm still happy with the overall result.
