In week 3 we also first did a test for wineglasses. We did this so we knew how to work with the spline tool for the hot air balloon.
This week we started by making a new kind of object. We had to create wine glasses and a wine bottle, we did this so we could also figure out how to use the spline tool in Maya, the spline tool is a tool that can be used to create an outline of an object that u want to create. This object will need to be the same on all sides because when you will resolve around the spline tool it will create something like for example a glass.
As an end result, I got these 2 glasses with a wine bottle on a table. We also looked for a background view so that when you would render out the product the light and the shadows would all fall into the correct places. looking back at the glasses that I made I think they came out very good. The texture put over it really gives it a wine glasses feeling to it. Yet again if I look at the shape and the proportions I think I could have paid a little bit more eye to detail to make it more realistic.
We also got introduced to the hot air balloon we have to make. This is a project we had to start to combine with our nuke classes. Everybody has to make their own hot air balloon for their hot air balloon festival in their nuke file. We learned a few things over the last 3 weeks to get a good start on our hot air balloon. for example, the glasses we made had the spline tool in them that we can use for the ropes on our hot air balloon.
