Game Art: Winter Submission Part 2

23/10/2015

Bag Prop High Poly (Maya)

I continued where I left off by creating a cube and rescaling it into a belt. I then duplicated the object to create two belts. Using the measurements I gathered for my research I adjusted the belts to their correct length.

I then used the bend tool to add curvature to the belts. I then added belt buckles and adjusted the verts to show the belt is woven between them. 

I then moved onto the zip. I used the quad draw tool to outline the handle. Adding edgeloops and adjusting the verts I deleted faces to create the holes. I then extruded the edges down to add depth to the holes. I also extruded the first top faces around the edge of the handle to add more depth to the zip. I then mirrored and attached the bottom of the handle.

For the zip base I created a cube and scaled the edges to match the image. I then selected and deleted faces when needed. I looked at my actual bag for reference. I then extruded the centre top faces to create the hook. 

I scaled down the zip and adding extrusions to the top of the bag I lined up the zip accordingly. After some tweaks to the model here is my final high poly maya model ready for UV unwrapping.

Bag Prop


For my winter submission in game art I decided to model my Spider-Man bag, as I always carry it around with me, so I'll always have good reference.

I started off by taking photos of my bag from different angles to for reference. I also too measurements of my bag to help understand the proportions better. I then identified each material and colour on my bag and googled referenced them. 

I took my photo references and I lined them up in photoshop in order for the proportions to be correct and ready to import into maya.

I opened maya and set up my scene. I then started modelling the front of the bag using the quad draw tool. 

I then continued to model the side and back of the bag.

Here it is in smooth mode.

  

Game Art: Introduction to Zbush

08/10/2015

Over the last couple of weeks I have been studying the basics within the Zbrush program.


First lesson I experimented with the basic sculpting tools and fallout brushes.

Second lesson I practiced how to use Zshperes to create models from scratch and then add a poly wireframe mesh.

In my third lesson I learned how to use subtools. By using subtools I am able to add additional features to a model e.g clothes by extracting new layers under the highlighted areas created by the mask tool.

Game Art: Knife Tutorial

05/10/2015


For the past 2 weeks I've been following a written tutorial created by my lecturer on how to create a knife prop in Maya 2016.

I first used the quick draw tool to outline the handle and buttons in the top view port.

I then beveled the edges around the blade and added screw heads. I used normal and smoothed mode to adjust the vertices and edge flow.

I then moved onto the blade by using the quick draw tool to outline the blade.

I then I started adding additional features to the blade.
