INTRODUCTION
This week the assignment was to texture our vehicle from task M3. This
task was a big challenge, but it went out mostly as I wanted it to be.
INTERPRETATION OF THE TASK
When I started to texture the vehicle, I had to get into the texturing
all over from the start. There was a lot of things that I had forgot since the
last time we worked with texturing. I got help from my classmates, to get a
good workflow. My biggest challenge this week was to actually find a matching
texture for my vehicle. In the first place I had in mind to have a simple shiny
color on the car, but when I tested it, it didn’t look as good as I wanted it
to be. I decided to go for a color concept, simple, clean and minimalistic,
with a sentence on each side, named ‘’ Color Concept’’.
CONCEPT
The concept I created for this vehicle, is going to give a luxurious
impression, but also an impression of speed and quality. The car itself is
based on a formula-one car, so I decided to give the vehicle a white base
color, with blue details such as the script on each side of the car.
ACHIEVED ACTION
With the final product, I want to convey that texturing also has
something to do with the model itself, in the way that not any car or plane
could have the same design. On some cars, you’ll see the lines better with a
grey color, but if you take another car, it might be different.
SCHEDULE
MONDAY; Researched textures ( 4 hrs)
TUESDAY; Researched textures and vehicles including tryouts in maya ( 7
hrs )
WEDNESDAY; Started to make the textures ( 7 hrs)
THURSDAY; textured the final products ( 20 hrs )
FRIDAY; Report ( 2 hrs )
RESEARCH AND WORK PROCESS
CREATIVE METHODS
When I started on this assignment, I was pretty clear on which way I wanted
the texture to go. I wanted a simple color, with a flashy color as a break in
the minimalistic style. For my texture, I used photoshop and UV snapshot, to
place the text and the burned details on the ‘’old’’ model.
INSPIRATION METHODS
When I found inspiration for this weekly assignment, I based it on
minimalistic, future concept design, which generally includes few colors, and a
big difference between the colors used.
ANALYSIS
The issue I was working on this week, was to get my texture right, and
as I wanted it to be. Some changes had to be done, but I’m satisfied with the
result.
DESIGN
TOPOLOGY/EDGE-FLOW/POLY-COUNT
The topology and edge flow is the same as in the M3 assignment. I
modeled the car by extruding each edge, until I got the shape I wanted. I
adjusted the vertex points as well, to change the shape under the construction
process.
COLOURS
As the main color for my main design, I used two colors; White and
blue. The car itself is painted white, with blue details, to get the impression
of what the car stands for.
COMPOSITION, LAYOUT
This assignment required side, front and three-quarter view.
SELF- EVALUATION
REFLECTION ON FINAL PRODUCT
My opinion with the final product is that this assignment was a big
challenge, in the way that I had forgot a lot of things with texturing objects.
My car had a very round design, with parts going over each other, so it was a
big challenge to find a way to have it textured in a good way. At the end of the texturing, I rendered out the final images in V-ray. Under the rendering process, there was an unexpected issue, with my vertecies in the middle of the car, that gave the car a ''wrong'' shape. I tried to fix it, but couldn't seem to find out what went wrong.
DEVELOPMENT AND PROCESS
When it comes to the final product, I’m really happy with the result,
but of course I could have done things different. With the texturing, I could
have sewed together more parts, to get rid of the seem that runs along the side
of the vehicle, and also made the ‘’old’’ texture some better.
It was a tough challenge to texture the vehicle, but it also gave me a
lot of new experience.
CONCLUSION
By doing this weekly assignment, I’ve learned a lot when it comes to
texturing and ways to do your own textures in photoshop.
