Speaker Pt 6

Here are some renders of my final image

Speaker pt 2

Next I moved onto modelling a hand which will be featured in my animation.

I started off by making a box hand in Maya to get the basic shape.

I tweaked and smoothed out the hand until I had a result I was happy with.

I then dropped it into Mudbox.

My first step was to bump up the divisions until around level 7, giving me a better starting point.

I used several different techniques to add pores and wrinkles onto the hand before creating a normal map and going back to Maya.

Once back in Maya I added the texture and a colour map onto the model, giving a slightly more realistic look. I hope later to possibly add fine hair and further details, including a sleeve to improve the overall look.

From there I set up a basic rig in the hand in order for me to better manipulate it when it comes to animating.

This was the final look of my first render.

Speaker pt1

Here are three versions of my trumpet and horn speaker, each with a different base. Trumpet made on Rhino, the horn on 3D coat and the bases were all on a mixture of Rhino and 3D coat. The idea is all three bases are made from wood, but the bases in image 1 and 3 would be highly polished, where image 2 is a piece of tree with bark.
After looking at these I think it would best to go with the first image as the base gives it a modern and cleaner look, unlike the others.

   

Tea party Pt2

So here is the second instalment of Nina creates a tea party. I have added a few extra pieces of my model theses include a swanky new fireplace with tiles and soon logs, a window with curtains, a fancy sideboard with about the same amount of books I have currently bought for my dissertation, and last but not least, a door!
On the table I have also included an ashtray with cigarettes, cutlery and soon there will be a roast chicken with carrots.

Below is a screenshot of one of the people I am going to make for the tea party, he is number one of four. He looks a bit boxy at the moment but he will look cool at the end.

Teaparty

As a short four week project at uni we have to create a tea party scene in Rhino and Maya then animate it. Instead of a tea party I have decided to create a tea party that has erupted into a fight scene. Even though I don't need to create people for it I think I might just as a challenge for me.
