WK 01 Drawing Assignment

We had to do a drawing of a work by Syd Mead. Here is the project I picked.


I sketched out the bike into shapes, and the other I wanted to draw. I started to block out some details.


I lowered the opacity of the sketch layer, then added more layers for the bike elements and started to refine the shapes.


I started to add colors I see in the image. I'm trying to recreate the lighting in the image.


I started to build a color pallet and blending colors. I added more of the colors I see in the reference.





Here is the final drawing after a few  more hours of work. I made the final sketch 1920 x 1080.

Week 01 Project





Week 01 project was to establish scale between Maya and Unreal Engine 4. To do this I exported the SK Mannequin out of Unreal as a FBX and imported it into Maya. Then I modeled a 182 cm cube in Maya.




I then created a 10 cm cube and beveled it. I also applied a Blinn material and named it the way I wanted it to be named in Unreal.



I exported the 10 cm cube to unreal as a FBX.


I imported the cube into Unreal and accepted the default settings.  I edited the material and exposed the settings of the material, so I can change them in the material instances as desired.



To expose the settings you need to right click on the title of the constant and tell it convert to parameter. You can the parameter to the name you want.

I took the block and placed it in the scene. I duplicated the block a few times and made several instances of the master material and renamed them. To clone the block around just hold alt and move it around to the desired position. This is what I built after a few hours.

For the first project we had to move objects around in Maya and test out how to animate. This is what I came up with.

This was a quick exercise we did in class today. We had about 40 minutes to block out a forklift.

Teddy Bear Concept


I designed this Teddy Bear for a Game Design document I started to write for FIEA. I plan to model this in the near future.
