Weekly Classic Car Blog

Blog Post 3

I fixed any edge loops for this weekly post by deleting or spacing them out. I did have some issues avoiding having any ngons from the start and finding out how to add the deform of the detail of the surface from the side by the door. I did some calculations with the rear headlights. It seems like a big hole, but it is a solution for the upcoming mods of adding the chrome rim and the actual size of the rear headlights. I only focused on one of the sides before mirroring it to see the exact car with a full view of its profile. Later, I want to add more details about the hood, trunk, rims/bumpers, and windows before focusing on the minor details and the tires.

The progress I completed this week was re-creating the curve outline because when I was trying to make the block frame, the measurements from the image reference and the frame weren't the same. I had to implement the blueprints into the exact measurements from each angle profile by front, side, back, and top. Unfortunately, the side view wasn't working in Maya for some reason. It wouldn't let me move the camera from right to left, so I improvised in the perspective view. These changes can fix the block frame of the car.


The image below represents my attempt to mirror the car to fully understand the block frame process.
I noticed I need to fix the edges from the roof, but everything else seems okay. I want to smooth the car, but I will have some difficulty later on when trying to add the details. I started adding the headlights but ended up with a high-poly and then a low-poly because I left them on smooth and forgot to unsmooth them. Afterward, I was going to start with the tire but didn't get the chance, but I will in the next blog post.

The classic car I decided to model for this assignment is the 1956 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia. The main goal for this week was to obtain multiple references for the car's different side profiles and blueprint measurements. Also, an outline with curves is made, and the car's frame is blocked. Unfortunately, I didn't complete the block out of the car's frame because I was confused by the correct dimension of the curves when I could not increase the curve line thicker to see on a small screen. I did partly of the block out, but I wonder if I'm doing it correctly.

            


I want to see the car in full detail from all the videos. To fully understand the car's shape, I had to cut the image of the blueprint. I used the side and the top view as the best reference to identify the space, while I had to estimate the front and back views.

Sprint 6 11/09/2024-11/21/2024 This Sprint went by quickly, and I made a significant improvement regarding my absences. I had to miss some classes and meet-ups for health reasons, although I notified my team in time and met when everyone was available. I didn't consider myself useless because of the lack of tasks I had provided based on my progress as an individual. I complete my work on time and perfect it before starting a new one. I double-check my work with both the designer and producer. They both need to agree if my work is complete or needs some adjustments. I even asked the other 3D Artist if it required changes or pointers. This Sprint went well by adding some improvements or fixing some bugs. I'm just so relieved I wasn't considered as a programmer for previous projects because I would likely put the team's progress into a bender. During kickoff, it was unexpected, so I had to speak one-on-one with the producer about my absence from the whole team. I had more ...

Final Game Scene The Google Slides above represent the dedication I resent consider as what I can actually do.  I have been having difficulties with the module modeling for this entire project. Unfortunately, I only completed the first UV Set on time because I had errors throughout Maya and Unity. I tried my best to accomplish at least one of the buildings within my capacity and understand the concept of doing module modeling differently. To understand the frustration and the progression, I'll deliver a post-four-week dedication and patience throughout this project. Week 4 Post The final week wasn't anything I had ever expected. The only way to proceed is the method is to divide the objects of four into one layout or just decrease the size of the object UV so it can fit into the scale 0 to 1. Exporting into Painter was divided into groups because I wasn’t able to use multiple layers without having them colliding with one another. In Painter I was the substance material defau...
