Final rendered turn tables of the guns of the Mexican revolution

Hey people, here are all of the base meshes I have created for my Mexican revolution game project. I am really happy with the 7.7mm vickers and the Krupp. I also like how the winchester have rendered but I am not so happy with the donkey and the colt machine gun. Hopefully Zbrush will work its magic and make them all better :)

First (ish) go at texturing










Hey people, here are some of my first(ish) proper go at applying textures to my meshes. I have applied a range of different effects from wood to water, bricks to stones. I have also tried using a cloud texture with a dark red to experiment with the effect. I have also tried to create a plastic "Monopoly" house look by changing the material to Lambert that is slightly reflective and changing the colour to a Matt finish. The style I prefeired most was the representative colour of the buildings in a block Matt colour (below). To make the water side building (grey building below)  roof reflective I changed its material to very reflective material to create a metal effect.

Texturing and colouring the crane for the WMC: 2020






Hey people, here is what I have tried for the crane. As the crane is supost to represent the WMC, I have tried to incorporate the logos colours of blue and yellow. I have also changed the materials of the matal frame of the crane to a very reflective material to try to create a metal effect. I decided to go with the last picture style as I felt it made the sillohuette of the crane stand out more copared to the other 3. but I decided to go with the black magnetic plate and silver for the wires.

Continuing WMC: 2020





Hey people, I have just been informed by my tutor that the project has changed and I will no longer be giving this to someone to rota scope, but instead I will be animating the whole thing now. So I went out and took some reference photos of the buildings they have asked me to create for the animation. The crane will build the building in front of the camera in 3 units per building, and will last a total of 9 seconds. will keep you all updated as it comes along.

New Project, WMC 2020




Hey people, I have been given a new project to work on. I have been assigned to create a crane to be used for an animation. I will then hand this over to another student to be used for rota-scoping. I used mainly cube polygons and warped then to long rectangles and duplicate with attributes to create the cross supports, it took me about 1 hour and 20mins in total.
