MC- Milestone 4

     Before and after angles of my Milestone projects. On the left was Milestone 3, the right is Milestone 4, the final scenes. For the final scene we had to make 3 more props and then bring them into ZBrush to give them that more advanced and fun detail.

     These projects have been fun and really amazing. I never thought I would be able to do any of it when I first started classes here. I still have a lot to learn though, this is only my second class using Maya after all.

Final ZBrush Models put in the scene

MC- ZBrush Dynamesh- Elephant

    Used Dynamesh in ZBrush to make a stuffed elephant. Some of the tools that I used to make it were the move, smooth, inflate, and standard brushes. It was rather difficult at first since I am still getting used to using ZBrush and all the tools and brushes that it has. 

MC- ZBrush and Maya- Pillow

     Started using ZBrush with Maya. 

     Made a basic pillow shape in Maya first, then took it into ZBrush to give it finer details and make it look like an actual pillow with folds and dents and fluffiness. 

     Brought the pillow back into Maya as two models: a low resolution and a high resolution one.

MC- Milestone 2

Milestone Project is really coming together. Added more pieces to it, but I'm not sure if we will be doing anymore with it since this class is almost over.

MC- ZBrush- Oil Drum

Today we started using the ever so talked about ZBrush. Tested out some of the brushes on this here oil drum making it look weathered and beaten up. ZBrush is a bit complicated and overwhelming at first, but I think you get used to it pretty fast.

MC- Mirror Model

     A nice mirror to accompany the comb.

MC- Comb Model
