Learning how to Texture - Maya

15/07/2024

Today we started off lectures with a Zoom call. Ravindu showed us the difference between a high poly 3D model and a low poly 3D model.

image 1 - High poly model of huts. A high poly model would have many faces.

image 2 - Low poly model of a room. A low poly model would have less amount of faces.

Note :- Always pause or close the render view. Otherwise, the pc will crash!

Below is the link to a screen recording I took of Ravindu showing the class how to texture a 3D model.

Class activity: - 3D model a room set up and texture it! (I can hardly model a spaceship on my own. This isn't going to end well for me...TOT)

I headed over to Pinterest and I found a cute 3D room design that I want to attempt to replicate!

I will upload screenshots of my WIP here!

Note:- To move multiple objects stacked on each other, select the first object, press shift and select the different objects. Then press W and move everything. (press ctrl 1st and then D)

Note: - Shift D to create a copy

This is the design for one of the nightstands. The best way to make it is the use only one cube and continuously 'Shift and Extrude' the top face!

Do this around 4 times. For the first 3 times, keep a small thickness. For the 4th time, increase the thickness!

Next, select the middle face and extrude! the top and bottom faces will move along with the middle face to create that inward move!

Here's a screenshot of my work in progress for making the blanket for the bed.

Work in progress screenshot of the coloring

After I finished coloring the bedroom model, I decided to play around with lighting to see how I want the light to fall onto the setup.

To use lights, press arnord at the top right corner and you will see settings for lights. After adjusting the lights as needed, you can check out the view from 'render'.

After playing around with the lights, I thought about creating windows on the other wall, next to the bed. However, I didn't like how the window design turned out. So, I decided to completely scrap this idea.

This is the final lighting setup I've chosen!

Thoughts on today:-

Today I haven't had much energy to do any work since I've fallen sick. I could've stayed back at home, but I can't afford to miss so many classes and catch up with the work.

I was shocked that Ravindu changed his mind from expecting us to only add texture and color to a room he had already modeled, to requesting that we model our own room and add texture and color.

I was convinced I wouldn't be able to handle this task. But, I've surprised myself. I think the room I've created looks decent enough for a beginner's first try and this activity has increased my confidence to use Maya and has given me motivation to learn more about modeling on Maya.

Maybe, I might just put a hold on the 2D work and I'll try to work more on 3D.

That's all for today's post. Thank you for reading :D
