Today, I have finished my logging truck project. The real toy truck, is wood and carries logs. To make it, I built the truck and the trailer separate, but I started with the truck first. All I got help from the teacher, were a few pictures of the front and back of the truck. The entire truck, is made entirely of separate individual shapes. There are cubes, cylinders, and tubes. But I started with the grill of the truck, by shrinking down a cube on the z axis. I then edited it and highlighted the areas I did not want on both sides to create the grill. Then I made the side panels and the engine hood.Then the fenders out of tubes, and then the wheels, which are made up of tubes and cylinders. Then I extruded part of the engine hood to make the inside of the truck. I then added the doors. And then incorporated the couch that I made earlier this year, as the seats in the truck. Then I added the steering wheel, which is made out of a cylinder. Then I added the other stuff on the truck and started to make the backside. I first made a cube, and made it longer and I filleted it to make smooth on the edges.And finally added the wheels and the part that hooks the trailer to the truck, which is a tire. Then, I made the trailer out of cubes, some parts I used the knife tool to make cuts in the object. I then added the wheels, and added on a wood texture. Then for the logs, I did not make them, but Mr. Clausen did, as a random act of kindness to the class. Finally, I made a shelf out of a cube and added a plane as a wall and added a light and set the rendering to global illumination and turned it in for a grade. My next project that I will post, will be pens that I am making currently, but anyways, goodbye.
Today, I have finished my lego men project. There are 11 lego men, as you can see. There is iron man, cyclops, black widow, captain America, Martian Manhunter, gold, silver, and bronze lego men, and a black, grey, and white glass lego men. To start, I had to just make one lego man and made 10 copies of them and added on superhero textures and custom glass colors and custom metal colors. I first, made the head of the lego man in three parts out of cylinders. For the head part, where the face is, I filleid to make it rounder. Then I made the bottom part, by first making the legs. The feet, I made out of cubes and the legs are also cubed to, with cylinders, to make the legs round to have them be able to move like on a real lego man. Then I made the crotch, out of a cylinder, and finally I made the torso out of a cube, that was flattened. Then I made the body out of a cube and used a tapir to make it go inwards. After connecting all the parts, I then made the arms, which was the hardest part of this project. I used cylinders and made them editable and bent them, to give the distinctive elbow joint on the lego man. And the hands are made out of tubes. And connected the hands to the arms, by making a smaller cylinder. Then I added textures and custom metal and glass textures, added a floor with a metal color with two array lights and global illumination on render settings and turned it in. Next week, I will post a wood truck that I have to do and thanks for supporting me and viewing my pages, because I have 500 page views. Thank you for Russia and the USA and have a happy veterans day and the US and thank you veterans for serving this country and stay tuned next week. Goodbye.
Today, I have finished my pencil project in 3D animation. It is very beautiful to look at, but here are the steps I took, to create this. First, I made the pencil, by creating a cylinder and making the famous hexagon shape, then I made another cylinder and added a cone in it to make a boole. Then I added it to the pencil to give it the sharpened look. Then I extended it and cut it in half. Then I made the graphite tip with a graphite color. I then added a wood texture to the pencil to make it look like, it was sharpened. I then painted it a sand green. I then made the eraser by making a cylinder and making it slightly rounded. I then added the iconic pink color to the eraser. I then made the ferrule, which is the gold part that connects the eraser to the pencil. I connected the eraser to the ferrule, and used the knife tool to make cuts in the ferrule and extruded it inward. Then I added a hyper nurbs to the ferrule to make the famous rings on the ferrule. Finally, I made a metal texture and colred it gold to make it look like real gold. For the setup, I made a cup from a cylinder and added 7 copies of the pencil to the cup. Then I made three planes and put a pencil art texture on each of them. Then I added two more copies of the original pencil to each side of the pencil art, added a wood floor, an array light and rendered it with global illumination, which was the quickest global illumination ever and turned it for a grade. I will post whatever I make this week, or next week, but anyways, goodbye and have a happy, safe, and scary Halloween. Goodbye.
Today, I have finished this stool that I had to make. It is all the same size as the actual stool that I looked at reference to make it. First, I made the seat my making a cylinder and making the same size as the actual stool. Then I made the legs out of cubes extruded upwards. Then I made the blocks that go next to the legs. Then I positioned the legs between the blocks. Then I made the wooden bars that go in between the legs. Then I added a wood texture to all the parts and added a light. Rendered it and turned it in. The next project that I will post, will be a pencil, but anyways goodbye.
Today, I have finished my chess set in class. I consists of a board, a floor, 16 pawns, 4 rooks, 4 knights, 4 bishops, 2 kings, and 2 queens. To make the pawn, I traced half of it and then used a lathe nurbs, to complete it and made 15 copies. Next, I made the knight by tracing half of the base and then using a lathe nurbs, next I traced the knight and added an extrude nurbs to finish it and made 3 copies. Then, I made the rooks, by tracing half of it and using a lathe nurbs, then I added a cube and extruded it and made a boole to make the turrets and made 3 copies. Next, I made the bishop by tracing half of it and using a lathe nurbs, then I created a cube and made a boole to create the slit in the bishop and made 3 copies. Then, I made the queen, by tracing half of it and then using a lathe nurbs and made 1 copy. Finally, I made the king, by tracing half of it and then using a lathe nurbs, finally I made the cross by tracing the cross and using an extrude nurbs on it and made 1 copy. I laid them out on the chess board in the correct order and added a glass texture clear and black. I made the chess board glass and the floor glass. Then I added an array light and global illumination and rendered it and had to wait 20 minutes. And then turned it in.
Today, I have finished my glass project. It consists of a wine glass and a wine bottle. First, I had to make a spline for the wine glass. Then I had to lathe it to be 3D. Then I added a glass texture to the wine glass. Then I made a spline for the wine and lathed it. I added a burgandy color to the material and added it on. Next, I made the wine bottle by making a spline. Then I made a spline for the cork and combined the two. Then I made the cork, then the black plastic. Then I made the liquid in the wine bottle by making a spline and adding a lathe nurbs and then adding the same burgandy texture onto the glass. I added the floor and then walls. Added textures, a sky and then zoomed in and waited 20 minutes for the jpeg and the tif file to render. I am going to do extra credit, so I won't be bored. But anyways, goodbye and I'll do a post either today, or next week.
Today, I have completed my midterm project. Mr. Clausen put an object in the middle of the room, and I had to create and turn it in for a grade. The object was a lamp. First, I created the light fixtures. I made a spline and then use a lathe nurbs to create the object. Then I added two cylinders, one for holding the switch in place and another that was the actual switch. I then made the base by creating a spline and also using a lathe nurbs. Then I created the pole that holds the lights, it is made out of three cylinders. Then I added three short cylinders to hold the light fixtures in place. Then I attached the three light fixtures onto the little poles and rotated them into position. Then I added textures and colors onto the object to make it look realistic. Finally, I added a light into each of the fixtures and a light above with a floor, added shadows and toned down the brightness of the lights to 50%. I rendered it and turned it in. I don't know what I'll do next week, but I will keep posting of what I do. Goodbye.
