YMCA Project - External Building (continued)

I have now added the sky. I created the sky in Photoshop. I stated withe A black backgorud and then added small white dots for the stars. I used the noise filter to change the effect of the dots to make them look like small stars in the distance.



I also added the YMCA logo on the side of the main building, so people can see the name of the building from the side.



I added 2 bins one either side. People are always carrying rubbish, and they may want to sit on the bench and eat.

YMCA Project - External Building (continued)

I have have changed the external building, instead of have trees in front of the wall, I have put 2 benches in front. I thought if people want to get some air or need to come out, then they have got somewhere to sit.

The outside lights have also changed, to give a more spot light effect.

YMCA Project - Storyboard

Below is the storyboard, of what we are aiming to do.

The group presented this to the tutor and the class. I wasn't in that day as I was ill.

YMCA Project - External Building

I have now designed the external building.

I designed this by using basic objects like, box, prisim, planes.
I used boolean to create the see through affect, so you can see into the building. I created the windows from lines and created a plane and gave this a glass material (glass window pane). I used the same material for the door. I first created the door from a box and then added a plane for the glass pane. I created the handles by using the tube object.

As a group we decided to make the objects, characters cartoony and so I decided to keep the materials on the building very plain.

The environment for the animation will be set at night (disco) and so it is important to get the lighting right. I have put in the lighting effects, however we my need to change it, when it comes to animating the characters outside the building. This is one reason why the YMCA logo is bright, we decided to create the look of the logo glowing.

YMCA - Separate task

Just a quick update. The group have come to a decision to split the project and give everyone a small part of the project.
The tasks:

• Design the band
• Design the internal YMCA building
• Design the Characters
• Design the external YMCA building. (Me)

Face Modelling - Eye

Creating the Eyes

This caused a lot of problems as when I first created the eyes in the model I found that the front view was fine but as I rotated the model, the eyes were not visible.

The eye mesh was not right, so I had to fix this. I created a sphere for the eye ball (white) and positioned it in the correct place. I then pulled out the eye socket vertices around the eye ball. This solved the problem with the eye. I created the pupils by using the same sphere and changing thee hemisphere.

I have created a small animation to show the whole model.

Face Modelling - Ear

Ear Creation

Creating the ear was a challenge. I was difficult to position it in the correct place
