3D Modeling / Week 09-14

Week 09

Putting on texture

turn on UV on the top part of blender - Material -image texture -upload image 

select face -(A= select all) - select a face (type G to move)

Different function(type of light)**** lighting will not be export to metaverse***

**specular=highlight

**diffuse= base colour 

**Ambient=Shadow

point light can change to any light 

(class outcome)=light and texture 

Week 10

surface texture 

select face -uv -project from view - adjust (for all faces )

select all- stitch all 4 face together 

Week 11

Continue on metaverse 

Things to change and improve

• Recreate the logo to make it more readable 
• Create signage 

Making the room in metaverse more white and clean 

Make the colour more white using shading mode and adjust the emission to make the colour brighter 

Searching for ways to create gradient in blander for the logo 

How to create word mark for the logo in AI and PS

• Type out the name for logo
• Select word
• Go to "type" on the top menu 
• Select "Create Outline"
• Choose "ungroup" for separate letters
• Use white mouse to adjust 
• Go to window on the top menu
• select "pathfinder" to unite, minus,and intersect object 

Week 12

Gradient 

• color ramp = make the color into gradient 
• object must have unwrap uv
• go to uv 
• add color ramp 
• add colour you wanted 
• add mapping 
• add texture coordinate 

ctrl =J (join all together )

when export bake the object ****

• go to shading 
• add texture 
• go to render
• change eevee to cycle 
• then select bake 
• after bake select material color with base color 

bake the shadow for gallery 

• go to edit mode 
• select all faces 
• go to mesh 
• go to normal 
• and select flip 

Week 13

Online Class

Gaining feedback for Mr Max

Things we can change 

• Make the world more creative 
• Make it more fun 
• Include more information

***Next Wednesday class remain ***

Week 14

Things to do :

• Refine on the metaverse
• Recreate the art gallery to make it more interesting

Week 09-14 reflection 

In weeks 09 to 14, our main focus has been on our final project. During these weeks of creating a metaverse, I encountered many problems with modeling, and the most significant issue I faced was baking the object from Blender with the texture and lighting. Although I managed to eventually bake the material, the lighting did not work as expected during the process. I believe that I will need to polish my skills in baking in Blender. However, I am confident that from week 9 to week 14, I have improved some of my modeling skills in different aspects compared to the beginning of the first week of class. Nevertheless, I have realized that I need to further improve and refine my skills in modeling and baking in Blender.

Overall Week1-14 reflection 

Throughout this module in this semester, it is the first time I have used Blender to create 3D models. Even though I have tried other applications for 3D modeling before, I have not actually learned how to use them properly. In this module, I believe the most significant skill I have gained is the ability to create 3D models using Blender. Throughout this semester, I have acquired several skills and knowledge in building models, and I have also learned that it is necessary to bake objects for exporting.  

However, in this semester, I feel that there are areas I would like to improve in the future, such as polishing my skills and mastering various aspects of modeling, including building, baking, UV editing, and shading. The most challenging aspect I faced in this semester was baking objects. Additionally, I have gained knowledge about UV editing and understand its importance in the overall process.  

Overall, I find 3D modeling to be enjoyable, and it brings me satisfaction to see things built up after going through the entire process.
