Modelling • The base is nurbs but most of the rest is polygons • I made 3 fingers first but changed to 2 with no joints for ease of animating • I changed the hand to accommodate these fingers and improved the fingers a few times • I changed the arm shapes and tapered the ends. • I added fans for cooling and to look like pretty flowers to go with the idea of it being a housewife’s helper
Pipeline texturing fans • In texturing the flower fans I first used a ramp with lots of stripes of colours for the veins of the flowers. Then I redid it by UV mapping them and projecting images that I had Photoshopped. This gave a better result. • I stretched the flowers in Photoshop and repeated them with green as well. • In UV mapping I put the backs of 2 fans at a time on the green and the fronts on the flower with fan covers on the centre of the flower • I decided the fans looked better with the front and back the same so I redid them • I may redo the flowers and map the petals to real petals but I like the effects that I have.
Pipeline texturing base and hand • I used interactive placement to place small pictures of flowers, done in Photoshop, in each file • Then on the base and hand I did a layered texture of these files to scatter small flowers around. I used the same technique to add windows to the walls. • I think this was successful
Pipeline texturing floor • The floor is marble tiles which are from a checker with 2 marble 3D textures plugged into the colours, one grey filler with white veins and the other black filler with grey veins • I put a checker into a bump for depth in the floor tiles • Both are UV repeated 4 times both ways • I like the effect but it is not good at a distance
Turned it upside down & added lights • Including big rectangle volume lights for the windows with a greenish tinge as if light was coming through glass bricks • There is a problem with a shadow on the window, it may not look real
Rigging • Everything was grouped in correct hierarchy and each group was assigned selection handles and referenced then animation began • I forgot to make a selection handle for the turning fans which I should have done when I did the whole arm. I was animating them by selecting them individually until I redid it.
Animating • I did this a few time over
