3d objects

Between the last seminar introducing 3d max and the next, I've had a little play around, trying to familiarise more with the layout of the program and try my hand at modelling.

It is quite tricky taking into consideration all the viewpoints, particularly where exactly object x is, in relation to object z. In the 'front' panel, the eyes I placed looked perfectly positioned, i.e. sitting on the face. However looking at 'left' panel reveals they are miles apart, never mind perfectly alligned!

I started playing around originally thinking these circles would be eyes, but then on finding all the effects I could apply, decided to just play around with their movement... yet again, I've come back to my old fav - motion graphics!

Quite looking forward now to next weeks session. Ha, I'd like to say Toy Story here we come, but I know that we're a million miles away from making something as cool and professional as that and will probably never make something as cool and professional as that.

3D max

First seminar back and I quite enjoyed the new stuff we're being shown.

Everybody who I've spoken to before seems to fall apart when you mentioned using 3D max, cos of how difficult it is. This first session to ease up in though was quite inciteful, although warning still stands that it will get a lot more complex!

This is what I created, fingers crossed the codec will work to play it. Everyone pretty much made the same kinda thing, and at the end, added a bomb effect to blitz the word we'd used.



Things look promising for next week. In the meantime, I'm going to go back and play around and practise with the program again, see all the various options it has.

my creations

I've now registered on a site called FileDen so can host some of my stuff that I've been making.

As you will find out, I'm quite a junkie on Powerpoint - it's what I've got on my computer and so I make use of it in the best way I can!

(Word of warning, I use Office XP and so anything newer than that may mean these won't work properly, or in order etc, apologies!)

Twinkle twinkle little star - motion graphics piece based around the lullaby song.

No matter where you go - motion graphics piece using a quotation I found and liked.

Flashing stars game - a 'simple' look and click game. It is basic, and could be improved, but it's my first go at a little game!

These are all just random things that I've played about with, no theme or anything like that. Enjoy!
