Lighting Effects- Man Cave

Textures and Mapping

Tentacle Media

This week we had a laundry list of requirements and techniques we had to tackle.

1.) Boolean some primitive objects together

2.) make a 2d shape planar (logo)

3.) revolve a curve

4.) extrude a closed shape along a path

5.) loft 2 or more curves to create a surface

I decided to consolidate all of them into one graphic for a fictional company I made up called "Tentacle Media."  I tried to think what the brand image would be for a company with a name as such.  The only real hassle I ran into was to remember to change the axis point when revolving a curve. Other than that I feel I got the basics for each technique down.  I decided to keep the materials bare because I want to revisit this project next week for my textures assignment. 

Modeling with Primitive Shapes

Here is my first crack at 3D modeling with Maya.  After I got used to the interface I found it pretty easy to manipulate the shapes into what I wanted to make.  It felt like playing with Legos, which happen to be my all time favorite childhood toy.  There's some clipping in some places but I decided perfection was not the point of this assignment.  What were giving me trouble however were the materials.  I wasn't able to get the desired effects I wanted and the colors are all a little off.  That seems like something I would like to go back and touch up.

More Advertising Campaigns

These are campaigns that my partners and I created in our Portfolio II class this past semester.  During critique I received the highest combined score out of my entire class of around 25 students.  Much sleep was last over these campaigns, which is why I'm proud to put these up in my portfolio.

WEST CAMPUS STORIES FINAL VIDEO

I forgot to upload a compressed version of my final video. Here it is for the world to see. It got good reactions during the screening at the end of last semester and I am overall pleased the way it came out. Lot of hard work paid off.
