3D modelling in Maya

In this case I am require to make a castle blocking in maya. First of all, I went to website research for the reference. For example, the details of the wall of the building the design of the main building. I start to blocking after found a proper sketch of the castle. To start with the blocking I made some basic shape for the whole building.

After consult with lecture realized there was a change needed to be made. All the face of the objects needs to be quad.

Maya retopology

make object live – use quad draw tool

Organic modelling

Use box add loops make object looks like head – extend faces add body arms and legs – make it looks organic then add in hands and feet.

Texture in PS

Introduce the UV editor in maya

Unford / change uv layout – export uv snapshot – texture in ps – import image to material color

Rigging

Introduce the auto rigging system in maya and how to make simple animation

Maya rigging manually, IK handle

A quick guide of how to create rigging bones of unhuman object, create IK handle for legs then add controler use parent or outliner.

Maya lighting

Introduce skydome light / render setting / material / shadowmate / OS setting ( render with layers)

We are requiring to do tracking points on buildings and facial tracking. Then adjust the satiability of tracking points on 3D Equalizer.

Create camera in 3DEqualizer and export the scene to maya, match the camera with the footage.

My design is aim to make a witch’s house hidden in the woods. The style of my design will be realistic. Environment is in a mysterious forest at midnight. The feeling of this project should be spooky and horrifying.

I was inspired by video game WITCHER and DIABOLO. The wooden cabin’s design is in Mediaeval style; the setting of this word is full of magic and during a dark age. In the forest there will be weapons and humans’ skeletons. For the building, there will be some witchcraft items outside the cabin show the identity of the owner-a witch. Outside the fence I want to set a magic portal for transport the character to other paces.
