Month: August 2023

for my third asset that I have done during the summer I started to create the pocket watch that will be on the desk. this is a small asset and also I have modelled a clock before so it was not too difficult. I am learning a better way of modelling through making these different assets. Since my room has quite a few assets I hope to be a quite fast paced modeller knowing how to access all the tools in maya.

The chain was a fun process to do and when I am going to set it in the scene I will give it a dynamic so that it will drop on the desk in a natural form, Because now the pocket watch looks quite stiff.

After doing the violin Which took me a little while to finish I thought to grab an asset where I felt a little more comfortable in modelling it faster then the violin to get more on schedule. In the scene I want to add ‘random’ assets that will give in to the specific style of the study room. For this asset I found a good reference which is also shown in my padlet where I have an combination of all my assets.

Also for this model I took a front and side to create the shape of the body And went up with a cylinder using the scale to create the right shape. This model did not take me too long since it only exists out of 2 components.

During the summer I started off my first model so I could get a head start from my project. The assets I needed to model kept on adding so it would be good to have a fresh start when the new year starts. Also that way I can get my head clear about what I want to do for this project. I know the aesthetic but it still needs a bit of work. I started with modelling of the Violin. This model was quite hard to visualize so I found a good tutorial to give me a head start on the violin.

This tutorial is a multi part tutorial although I have followed most sometimes I went a bit off course.

I started off by using reference images from top and side view to get the violin that I wanted. I also spend loads of time modelling the head of the violin due to its weird shape and also the tutorial skipped a part that really showed it to be good looking.

In this same set project in maya I have also created the violin stand and the violin handheld stick. For now it is a set but the violin is an important part of my scene since the strings will be rigged and the violin will be played. this is one of the centre part of my scene and it will help me learn new skills.
