Evaluation of Robot Unit

The easiest way for me to write this review is for me to run through step by step explain the way I did my project start to finish. Every step also has blog posts to be able to go backwards to and see how things went if this is something you would like to look deeper into.

Firstly, I would like to say to anyone who is thinking of learning Maya and starting the process from beginning to end. You should go and learn every step before beginning well at least look into them and find out the small things beforehand. I only say this because there were quite a few different stages where I got to the next step and instantly my thoughts were. ‘I wish I knew that beforehand’ to me it was a very important process to stick to how they would do this professionally as you will have noticed last year and from the start of my entire journey I have been fixated on learning everything the professional way as my main intention is to look for a job and to gain the required experience and knowledge.

With that being said in this review I am going to go over Modelling, Rigging/Skinning, UV Mapping/Texturing, Animating and Rendering all in Maya and then I will give a small review of my work involving filming and then editing in After Effects and Premiere Pro.

Starting point. Ideas. Design ideas and references, Story boarding

After receiving our unit brief, I was excited to find out that we would be doing 3D modelling in Maya as this is something I have been wanting to learn. Instantly I wanted to work through every step that a professional would. First thing is first I needed to think about my target audience which after looking at the types of robots I like and different references I came up with the age of 15+ after this I started doing different drawings and asking people in my class what they thought, what could be improved and what should be completely removed. After some feedback and about 4-5 different attempts at the body parts I managed to put together a final design. The reason to doing this is to make sure I get something that hits my target audience along with being able to take my design into Maya and use it as a guide for the modelling of my robot. I was told by one of my classmates that I should keep the aesthetics very similar throughout the whole robot for instance if I had a rounded head I would need to have a rounded body, rounded shoulders/Arms etc. I showed him my design after taking his advice out board and got told that it should work well with the age group I am trying to reach. Next it was time to storyboard. This is where I did some rough sketches of what came up in my mind and what I was hoping to get from my outcome. I can say that this is not the case but I am not disheartened as I am still impressed with my outcome and I believe the reasoning for me not being able to follow the storyboard was just because I wanted a smooth video rather than something that could of made my robot look worse off. I believe this to be the case because I am not the best videographer so my video would of came out very choppy next time I might be able to get the assistance of someone who is very experienced in filming I will ask for them to help with the storyboard and then for them to assist me in executing the video this way anything I do with my 3D project it will be a result of my modelling and not the video quality.

Opening Maya first time, learning basics, Learning difference between sculpting and modelling. Steps of modelling rounding it

This is where I got into my element. I dove right in and began learning all the shortcuts. These are essential. The first thing I noticed was a problem was the whole of this programme would need to use a mouse. Off I went to buy a wireless one just to make everything that little bit easier. I learnt the basics of how to get around this programme in a matter of hours which I guess is pretty good. Now I am not saying I know everything because every day I am learning more and more and the more knowledge of this programme the better. Every time I hit an obstacles, I noticed fairly quickly that I was not the only one everyone my course hit the same issues then after a quick search of the internet people had hit them too. No need to worry because every time there was a problem, I found someone online teaching me the best steps around this which I will now be able to take through with me for future projects. I started off by getting a cube or a sphere and attempting to sculpt them into faces. Let me just say here. Sculpting is not the easiest to do and everyone that uses sculpting on there projects opts to not use Maya as the tools do not work perfectly shall I say. I guess you could learn to use them but apparently there is easier was around this. I found that if I took the front of my drawn robot image and the back of it then put them into my project made sure that when I was in was in front view I would only see half off my robot then when in the back view I would see the same side but from behind what this allowed me to do was create the full one side of my robot considering it would be a symmetrical robot I would then be able to just copy and flip it over to the opposite side. I found that I was able to add edge loops what this allowed me to do was put extra faces into my project giving me the ability to position the mould of my body parts where I wanted them. At this point everything looked very pointy but with the simple push of a number on the keypad I was able to put everything into a curved look which definitely in this case made my robot look more pleasing to the eye. At this point I found someone on YouTube teaching me a lot of the basics in modelling a robot his account name was Spidey406 I found that everything he was telling me seemed as if it was hard to understand and first but after spending time experimenting it got so much easier. In his videos he was creating a very basic robot which I used as a reference to create my robot which meant doing things a lot different to his videos but using hit tips and tricks to progress in my project.

After I got to a stage of thinking I had created half the chest I then ‘duplicate special’ the finished part what this allowed me to do was create an exact copy but already flipped and put in place for me. I then grabbed the target weld tool all the faces and moulded the two-chest half’s together to give 1 fully finished chest piece.

I did the exact same with almost every body part but I did find a few issues with doing it this way and after a while I actually ended up looking for inspiration on the rest of the project from another 3d modeller and this person called themselves 3Dex I will come back to him later when I used his videos for the other parts of my project. Anyway carrying on with the issues I had when modelling this way. When I attempted to duplicate special the head it created indents, so I had to spend a lot of time grabbing each individual point to mould them together. I also found out that when I attempted to create the shape of the face as this was my first time doing this I had accidently combined two shapes together giving the problems of having many faces inside my robots head. The reason this was a problem was because I was attempting to work at high standards where as I could have ignored this and pretended like it wasn’t there, I wanted to make sure it was created in a way of being correct.

At this point I cut my loses and started again. I realised that there was so many little mistakes that I was going to go back to the beginning and I ended up remodelling my entire robot with less polygon faces to make sure everything would look smoother. This also helps when it comes to UV mapping which I did not know anything about at this point in time. After all of the little issues I had hit previously I found it rather simple to recreate my robots outer model.

Putting on a rig for the first time, joints, parenting, hip, IK handles compared to FK handles. Preferred point, rotation of joints. Adding controls and then animating.

Now that I have my robot modelled and in place I needed to rig so after combining everything together I found out that most rigs should be done with your model in a T-pose. I had to jig the position of my model to be able to do this which wasn’t too hard to do but was a bit of a pain. From now on I will be drawing them this way and creating them like this too so that it makes things that little bit easier. Once everything was in the correct position, I didn’t find too many issues from hear on out.

Starting with rigging, I learned how to rig which was quite easy once I got the hang of it. Basically everything runs from parents in this case the main area to parent everything to is the hip, this is because if you move your hip in real life it moves both of your legs so rigging works exactly the same as bones. Everything is run through joints, spines and skeleton. I’ve on learned how to use this for a human type shape so I’m not sure how this would work with other things which is something I will be very interest to learn. The way things work with the human type body shape is as follows;

Hip>Top of leg> Knee>Ankle>heel>Toe Tips.

Shoulder>Elbow>Wrist>Centre of hand> Fingers (each having three joints).

Spine>Clavicle>Arm

Spine>neck>Chin>Centre Head>Top Head

Spine>Hip

At the end they all connect back to each other through the spine or the hip but these two are the main parents for the top half and then the bottom half of the body. After fully connecting these parts I had the option to add in either IK handles or FK handles you can add both but in my case IK handles were the best option. IK handles are a limb as such what it does is allows you to choose the top join of an area then the bottom joint of the area for instance if I was to choose the top of the arm then the wrist it would allow me to move the wrist and all the joints in the middle will automatically move for me where as FK handles mean that you would need to move each individual join singularly but allowing you to group them up. Depending on the circumstance you will choose what type of kinematics would be best for you. After doing this you need to rotate every joint to make sure the Y axes is in the direction you want your joints to bend and I found that if it is the elbow or the knee join you want to bend forward then you need to move the joint further in the direction you want it the bend hold right click it the choose preferred angle this means that when you grab the handle end and move it in then it will bend in that direction and not look strange. Once you have everything in the position you want it you need to make sure that it is all exactly how you want it, next you want to highlight you entire project press skeleton then bind skin this means when you bend a joint the mesh of your object with bend like skin to make sure there is a smooth look between everything. I will say it is very hard to come back and change this in my case I was able to go backwards and unbind the skin to change the directions of the joints as the script I used didn’t change all of the joints into the correct direction I was lucky that I found the issue fairly soon after binding the skin to the joints. There is an option to orientate the joints with the skin bound but this only works once per joint then you need to do select it again this is a pain because it is very time consuming which I came to find out so in my case I found it more time effective to just unbind the entire skin recheck all my joints orientations then bind the skin back together. The reasoning to binding the skin is to give the viewing a smooth watch which is good for the audience as no one wants to watch something that is very choppy and jumpy. Lastly with the rigging before animation you need to give your project controls. This makes the entire next process so much easier to grab and move. I found controls extremely useful because once you have allowed everything to be editable again you can grab the control which is outside of created object easy and you can move it without needing to worry about grabbing the wrong thing then displacing it.

To animate in Maya I found it as simple as doing it in any other programme I have previously used for this there is automatic smoothing between the two keyframes so it was as simple as putting the robot into one position going forward x amount of frames then moving it again in my case I moved the robot every 5 frames to give a smooth look to everything and there is not much for the programme to mess up through its automated process but at the same time it cut my workflow down. I used 248 frames to be able to receive a longer animation but also be able to get that easy to watch flow between the whole movement of the robot without needed to squeeze it into one small sequence.

Texturing

In my case I used texturing as a format for ease of use with the mistakes throughout the process of creating my robot rather than not being able to visible see these till the end. So as much as it seems simple from what I have learned so far to add in a texture to a model I noticed that you need to create your initial robot in such a way to give you a nicely fit UV map and this is something that I will be learning to do with my next project in Maya. This was a huge stumble for me which actually ended up stopping me from getting the look I would of ideally given to my robot. I wanted to give my robot a rustic look but this was not possible because after I had gotten to a stage to add a texture when I attempted to add in a third party texture it just stretch the colours and made them look completely wrong this is because where my mesh had too many faces it needed to try and extend the texture image throughout the UV faces but in my case this didn’t work for my original concept which resulted in me giving a shiny grew full material to my entire robot. Luckily for me this made my wrong look great for the background I used as a stage to add my robot too but in the professional world this Is not something I will be able to do which I understand yet I also understand this is an area I need to develop further knowledge which I am hoping to build together by the end of the course.

Rendering

The last step in Maya is rendering. This is not something I was impressed with because I cannot get round how I think if you are creating something in a 3D world you should be able to render it as a 3D object that you will still be able to move and position accordingly in the case of using Maya you had to export everything from the view of a camera into exported images that run a sequence to look like a 3D moving object.

After effects and premiere pro, shadowing, blur, colour grey, rotation and position. Feedback, adjustments and sound.

I exported my Maya project as 248 IFF files what that means it when I import the first picture it pulls all 248 images in as one group as well as giving them a completely transparent background. I liked this format because it allowed me to get my project from one programme to the other with ease and with keeping it very precise to how I had created it. After that I attempted to attach the three videos, I had taken with a DSLR but due to my lack of ability with filmography I did not like the look and feel these three videos would have given to my audience. In my opinion they would of given the sense of amateur work and no one would have been able to connect with my final outcome. This made me change my video to one short video shot with a hand-held camera that paned around the room allowing me to put my robot into the scene and give the audience something to not look away from and indulge themselves into the short scene. Once I had both my assets in after effects, I took the filmed scene then 3D tracked the plane giving the tracking markers I was able to stick the 3D robot onto the edge of the laptop giving the illusion that I was already there. After this I tried to add in a light, ticking the cast shadow box I thought it would be fairly easy to give my robot a robot that would reflect onto the video behind but in face this did not work at all it just either gave more light to the front of my robot or none at all so it went dark. I didn’t like this because it made me realise that the two scenes were not actually together, so it isn’t possible to just cast a shadow off something that isn’t real to the scene. My illusion of my own scene just disappeared! Now this meant I would need to gey my audience to believe like it is actually in my scene to do this I would need to create a fake casted shadow that pulled everything together and made it look real to do this I duplicated my robot then used the gaussian blur effect to distort the look and lowered the opacity, after this I used fill mask to change the entire colour to a dark grey. I didn’t choose to use black because such a solid dark colour would make things look less believable to the viewer so grey was the choice. Combining the blue with the colour then rotating and position the duplicate moving it to the layer underneath my original robot this made a shadow effect appear now because my duplicate was animated I needed to attach the feet to the original robots feet using key frames then positioning and rotation more to keep it in the correct place I was able to cast a shadow into the scene to make it look real. I thought I was finished… I exported out then showed my video to 3 people in my class effectively an audience to gain some feedback there two bits of feedback I go given were that the footage and final video was unstable and needed sound to make it believable so I went back to the drawing board put my scene into premiere pro and then used the effect warp stabiliser this made my footage look less shaky now to add in some sound. This was fairly easy I found a bit of robot noises from the internet then added them together in premiere and made my robot sound as if it was turning on and off then when it moved it would also make a mechanical sound to make it sound like it was attempting to move I exported again and showed me work to the same 3 people from my class they said that after taking there feedback on board I had finally managed to create something that looked believable and up to a semi-professional standard this made me feel like I had reached my original goal.

You go to the doctor, and your NY insurance pays up. But then you get a letter from the insurance company, sent to the CA address but forwarded to NY, saying they heard you'd moved, so your insurance will be cancelled. You write back, telling them their information is premature, and that you'll change insurance when you complete the move. After four months, you complete the move to CA, and two days after your arrival, you start feeling woozy -- feverish with occasional headaches -- requiring bed rest and lots of fluids.

Hello, I have an insurance question. Last December, my wife, 2 y/o daughter, & I were involved in a car accident. The other driver was at fault, this was noted on the police report. My wife & daughter both required medical attention. My daughter suffered a broken leg & has since recovered. Unfortunately, my wife's recovery is taking a little longer. She required immediate surgery on her wrist & needs daily physical therapy. Although I have a laywer, car insurance & health insurance, I've had to front enormous amounts of money to cover medical expenses. My health insurance will not reimburse me for expenses. Can I ask my car insurance company to help me out with expenses? They know the other party is at fault (police report says so). I've had to liquidate stocks & savings to make ends meet. I'm now out of money. I was not at fault, yet I'm being punished. Any advice on how to get reimbursed ASAP? My settlement probably will not occur until next July.""

Insurance company would not like to insure me a sole proprietorship?

I am a film major, a student and very involved in different projects. I decided to open my own film company a sole proprietorship, meaning I DBA (Do Business As). I am looking for liability insurance for my business for wedding and events. They asked me if I was doing any other type of work currently. My reponse was that yes I am involved in being cameraman for one project and editor for another. I have not signed a contract or getting paid for any of these projects, simply volunteer. They came back stating that if they were to insurance me, I as an invidividual would no longer be able to be part of any project or post anything of my personal stuff on youtube. I understand that they are trying to protect themselves and that they are insuring me personally I guess since its a DBA. Has anyone else come upon this problem? I see many videographer put their stuff up on vimeo, youtube etc.""

Do you need to be enrolled in school to stay covered under your parents health insurance? Affordable Care Act?

So here's the question in case you don't want to read my wall of text below (but it would be appreciated if you did to further understand my question). I was covered under my moms health insurance while in college and I was told I needed to be enrolled in school to stay covered, I dropped out a while ago and was wondering if I am still covered by law under the Affordable Care Act since I am only 19. I was covered under my mothers health insurance, she works for a private company and she said that I needed to be enrolled in school in order to stay covered by the insurance. But this was close to a year ago if I'm remembering correctly. The reason I'm worried is because I'm taking a break from college, and have had multiple doctor appointments/tests done after I left, but I never had a problem with the insurance going through. I've made myself paranoid into thinking that the company may just not know, and is assuming I'm still in school and will randomly hit me with the costs of the testings and doctor visits if they saw I was not in school, or god forbid somewhere down the road my mother or I are in a serious accident and are dropped because of this. I know this happens all the time, the insurance agencies have people hired to find abnormalities in your history in an attempt to drop you and not have to pay the bills. So would I still be covered under my mothers health insurance even though I'm not currently enrolled in school under the Affordable Care Act? Once again I am 19 also. Thank you""

Hey. Another one of many fashion website i collaborate with is ROMWE. I remember clicking on their site as a result of long time searching for websites that provides blogger program i would be able to apply for. Romwe and Shein were two of my first sites i applied for myself and wasn’t just contacted by them at first. Application is very simple and i’m gonna talk about how you can apply too later on.

It’s been few years since i’ve been collaborating with romwe but they still upload new and new clothes everyday so there is just no chance i would suddenly have nothing to post.

What i do for romwe

What i do is simple. I search their site for stuff i and my followers would like, download their photos, upload them on my tumblr with short comment and link where my followers can find each item + specific track code. Romwe use this track code to check how many new visitors or customers did i bring to their site. Sometimes tumblr has problem with uploading such long link so it’s easier for me to shorten the link through google links shortener. Bonus is that i can also see how many clicks that link got and what time or state each visit was from.

This is how my post usually looks like:

I prefer collages with 9 items as it looks aesthetically pleasing and it contains 9 potential clicks. I add a short description with links:

If someone click at any of those links it will lead them to romwe page where they could purchase the item they like.

Romwe has great variety of fashionable clothes and as i mentioned they upload them daily my favourite category is “daily new”.

They always have some sort of sale or clearance so it’s smart to check it out once in a while. That way you can save so much money.

my beginnings

At first when i applied i was in some sort of trial period. I was supposed to do one collage of my fav items from romwe and post it on my tumblr. Depending on my results romwe would contact me if I’m in or not.

I got reply after very short time ( i think it was 1-2 days) saying they are very satisfied and I’m in.

This is where my journey begins.

I got to choose my first item from them for free. I remember searching site for hours to find perfect item for me. I choose light pink summer dress. Send them link to the dress and size i wanted through mail with my shipping address and that was all. They replied me with my order number so i could track where my order was at each moment. I got my package around 2-3 weeks since i send the mail.

What i was supposed to do was try dresses on, take some photos and share with my followers what i think about it.

Here is the link to my first ever review i wrote for romwe: HERE

When i finished writing review i send it to romwe and they told me to pick another item for review. And this went on for a months but the amount of items i was supposed to pick kept getting higher. Usually i picked 6-8 items for free from romwe monthly. When i finished all review i picked another 8. So you can imagine that most of my wardrobe is made out of romwe clothes.

Romwe products

Since i got so many items i can tell you about their products honest review.

It’s very important to check their measurements carefully – you can find them on every product page. Check the cm or inch not the S,M,L. I’m not the thinnest, I usually wear size L and from romwe i order from M-XXL sizes due to measurements. But not all of the items i got fit well. Usually i got smaller sizes- even when label said XL. Now my sister is wearing it and she’s usual size S. It’s better to get slightly bigger sizes than you usually wear. Or if you have younger smaller siblings like i do they can always wear what doesn’t fit you well.

Clothes are usually good quality material, occasionally i got item with sticking fibres or not big enough hole for button. Once i got necklace and it came broken – one crystal was fallen. But again we’re talking about great amount of clothes i got- i’ve been working with them for years and i choose items monthly so it’s understable i would stumble on sme damaged goods too.

I will talk about each item i got with detailed reviews on here in time.

Discount codes

Another great thing about working with romwe is discounts. Few years back i got code for 60% off for my followers. Now i got similar code 20775-Natalia. You can use this code to get 60% off when your order is over 59$ ! what is amazing and you can save so much money. I would use it myself but i get free clothes from romwe anyway.

Romwe has very reasonable prices for good quality clothes and they even offer free shipping sometimes- you need to check for current sales. Plus with the sales they offer it’s like it’s for free. They provide a great amount of items so whatever you’re looking for i’m sure you can find it there. You can filter items by sizes, color, material or pattern. Is really easy to shop.

give away

Yet another great bonus of working with romwe is give aways. Over the years romwe provided me with so much money to give to my followers. How it worked:

I was hosting the give away on my tumblr- i made the banner and short description of how to join give away. Usually rules were to reblog the post, follow my blog and register on romwe site. I was choosing winner through email my followers used in registration to romwe page. Winner would get 50$ to spend on romwe store or once i was hosting swimwear give away where winner got to choose swimwear of their choice. Here are few give aways i was hosting:

You can read about my give aways HERE

I had great time hosting them, it was great for all participated sites. I got to earn more followers, my followers got to win money or free clothes and romwe got new potential customers.

communication

Communication with romwe is very pleasing. They are always so nice to me i feel ike talking to someone i have known for so long and not someone i have never seen before. They are always professional and helpful. They listen to my ideas of how to gain more traffic – few of the give aways were my idea and they were so kind to provide free stuff for my followers. I send them every review i post and they always read it and respond if it came small they apologize for inconvenience or appreciate if they liked some of my reviews.

Recently i changed programs – now i work on sales program meaning if someone make sale from my tumblr i get some commission from that purchase.

how can you join ?

Open Romwe page, scroll down until you see this:

you’ll find descriptions on how to join if you open the links.

I prefer fashion blog program as I’ve been working on it for years (but maybe you’ll like affiliate program more) when you open it you’ll see this:

As you can see requirements for fashion blog on tumblr (or any other social media ) is 5000 followers. If you don’t have that much yet feel free to check my article about how to prosper your blog.

After you click i agree button you’ll have to fill up simple application form like this:

Later romwe will contact you via email with more details and you’ll start working for them.

Good luck.

I hope this article was helpful for any of you who would love to tart working on their own fashion blog. For me (and i’m sure for you too) romwe is great choise. Go for it.

Thank you for your attention.

xo Natalia
