3D I, Week 8, Part 2: 3D Scanning

This is my final blog report for the 3D I class. In this blog, I will talk about the process of facial scanning and reflect on what we’ve learned about face topology.

Facial scanning is the act of taking photos of a person and throwing them into a software to convert them into a 3d model. This requires a huge amount of photos, the more photos you get the more accurate the generation will be. The software we used in class […]

3D Course – Assignment 2 reflection (textures)

This is my reflection post about assignment 2 in the 3D Course. Like with the previous post about assignment 1, I will be talking about the texture work that I did.
Here’s the final model and textures, the first two sets of screenshots show how the model looked in 3dsMax (viewport view and then rendered) and the second set is how it looked in UDK:

I had a lot of photo references in different angles for this table, […]

3D Course – Assignment 1 reflection (textures)

This is a reflection post about Assignment 1, where I will talk about the textures that I did for the crate. I had to redo the texture once, since it wasn’t that clear what kind of wood it was made of the first time I handed it in, and I will show and talk about both versions.
This was the first texture that I did for the crate:

When I created this texture, I didn’t use any references, and just tried […]
