Module 3 Week 07 - High Poly

Critique from last week:

- Edge control

- Separate planks

- Remove brick from lower down

Highpoly

Details on surfaces like this is not my strong suit (dynamesh was not on my side for this assignment). I'm planning on adding details that I missed via the textures like I did for the last assignment.

Baking Test

There are currently baking issues I need to address.

I think the shapes on my low poly are either too big or too small compared to the highpoly, so some of the normals and AO is clipping into each other. The bricks look ok for the most part.

I will fix this before next submission.

Module 2 Week 03 - High Poly

 Based on last week's feedback, I tried to fix my blockout proportions

There's no orthographic images of this chest anywhere, which makes it really difficult to work on.

I'm not the best at stylized sculpting, so I think I'll do most of the texture work in my material pass...

Module 02 Week 1: Blockout

 

Crates, Barrels And Treasure Chests

Work by Alex Iveroth

For my prop to recreate, I have chosen this chest by Alex Iveroth. I picked this out because I like the shapes it has, specifically the legs and the head shape.

Since this stage is blockout, I'm keeping the shapes very simple and basic. Stylized props like this aren't necessarily heavy on polys, but rely on exceptional texturing texturing, with I'll focus on in the high-poly.

Maya Render

Seeing it rendered out like this helps me we the issues with it. I think right now, some of the scale is off and some thickness of the shapes overall.

Maya Render with Wireframe

I've never rendered out through Maya before. Hoping to get better in the near future.

Week 01: Meet Matt Project

 For the theme of my little matt, I chose to do porcelain kintsugi, where broken porcelain is mended back together using lacquer and metallic powders.

Turnaround

I started with an off-white base and added some patchy, grainy alphas to give the porcelain natural vibe.

Then I used a generator to add more pigment in the cracks and crevasses to show where glaze would get stuck.

For the kintsugi lines, I used a broken stone smart material to guide where I'd draw in my mask. And, I finished it off by drawing some floral motifs. Rendering this was a bit of a beast since the material is super glossy, it took around 8 minutes.
