My second semester has officially started and one of the modules I will be taking on is 3D Modelling, I have had experience in the past due to spending two years at College learning how to use Maya so I'm pretty confident that I will do well in this module. However we're using 3DSMax for this module which I have not used before but being produced by the same company it's more of just a matter of adjusting to the different layout that 3DSMax has, making sure I can find everything I need and setting a few key bindings.
Our first lesson consisted of learning the basics of 3D Modelling, learning where all the most commonly used buttons are located and learning the layout so we know what this was and why it was there. We was also given the overview of the module and what we would be doing during the semester. For our final piece of work we are required to make a 3D interior space which can be of anything we choose (so long as it's not a bedroom of any kind).
I started to think through a few ideas, thinking back to previous work I had done in College for inspiration, I had previously done very bright colourful scenarios so I decided I wanted to do something different, I wanted it to be an abandoned house of some sort but I wanted it to have a theme, so I would have object to feel the room with apart from just broken table etc. I ended up deciding that It will be an Abandoned Nuclear Facility, I choose this because there will be a lot of object to create without them being too repetitive and can be multi-storied as I can have walk ways going to different parts of the interior space.
I also want a nuclear waste river stream going through the middle which I hope will give It a pretty unique look even though I know It would be pretty unlikely and dangerous for this to be in a real nuclear facility, It's more about giving my own spin on it then anything else.
That's just about it for this week, I will be hoping to do at least one blog post a week so Ill see you next week!
