TK3D - Modelling Sci-Fi Building- Kyle Smith

ToolKit 1 (3D) Reference



This is the image pane and it lets you put reference images.


I started to 3D this reference this sci-fi building.


I can press Project Window to set a project folder that makes my work a lot more practical.




A problem I ran into was extruding edges. Simon showed us to extrude edges and my edges weren't extruding properly. I tried remaking the whole bottom shape to extrude the edge but it just wasn't working so I extruded the faces and it come off as really high resolution. It's best I can think and do after trying the software clearly not wanting to extrude my edge. The top bit was fine to make even though it looks harder to make but I had more trouble with the bottom bit which looks significantly easier.



















I started off with a cylinder gave it 6 subdivisions and tried matching it to the reference and then pressing one smoothed it out while afterwards pressing Smooth Mesh Preview to Polygons, which smooths it out even more. But I turned the divisions to one so it's as long poly as we can. If something is too high polygon it will start crashing the computer. Throughout this process, I need to double check and clean the sides up. After getting the round bit done, I extruded the end edges to create the rest of the body. The only thing else I did was the little indent at the bottom which I just use multi-cut and halved the bottom face to 50% both sides and lined them up to the reference.



I'm adding details to my little structure.

For some reason, Just like my potion bottle, I'm unable to duplicate my faces.


Here's me filling in the back of the object. Needed to use tools like Bridging, multi-cut to neaten it out and insert loop edge.


I extruded that back because it didn't fit with the reference image well.


Mi starting to save as every time I want to save. Within catching up, I had a scare that I lost all my work but luckily didn't so keeping backups and saving scenes every save, is a smart idea.

Had to do this in my own time. I found it moderately challenging at times but got through it.



Here is some of my advances on 12th November 2024.

Pre arrivals tasks

  Kyle Smith As the title suggest my name is Kyle Smith. And I'm hoping to make a comic Artist/Writer. And For our first prearrival task I did: Tokyo Ghoul's Art style  This piece of media is what set my life on the path it is today. Inspiring my masked passion for art and writing stories. The author and piece of media I am talking about is Sui Ishida and his most famous work on Tokyo Ghoul. Sui Ishida's work on Tokyo Ghoul did not just reach and inspired me as Tokyo Ghoul has reached 47 million global sales, so something must have been worth reading to reach a number that high? And one of the main factors of this success is his art style.  Through reading multitude of Manga's, I find one of my favourite aspects of its art style is the evolution of it. As an audience seeing an artist's art become redefined and improve slowly through its run, it feels personal like not just seeing the story being played out but the more personal story of the artist adapting to fit th...

Tk3D Potion Bottle - Kyle Smith

 Toolkit 1 (3D) By Kyle Smith 24th September 2024 Within this lesson, we explored Maya, I already had experience with maya beforehand so not a lot was new for me, but I still felt like taking notes to look back and reminds myself of things I might forget. First of all Simon told us about the tools. Things to highlight is that Computers love to render 4 sided shapes like square and rectangles, this also includes cubes and cuboids with are made up into from squares and rectangles.  Here is some shortcuts for Maya that Simon has showed us: Q - Get Rid of handle. W - Move E - Rotation R - Scale CTRL/ E - Extrude CTRL/ Z - Back Alt/Left Mouse - Rotate Camera Alt/Right Mouse - Zoom in/out Alt/Mouse wheel - Move If I go in Mesh Tools, I can automatically insert edge loops. And If I click on the box next to it can change the property of the edge loop tool like the amount of edge loops I add. If I got into Windows - Settings and Preferences and then selection then click select faces wi...

Designing a Game World: Formative Submission Year 1 Game Art. (Kyle Smith)

Designing a game world. By Kyle Smith Introduction Within this assignment we were given  an opportunity to develop and design a game world. We were given choice of two prompts and develop ideas within those two prompts. Within the prompts given to us I decided to chose The Abyssal Dungeons which abyssal means depths and ocean bed. Underwater Dungeon. That's kind off cool. For another prompts I chose Artifact 2 and that's a Knife from the Congo's. After Look around for this particular knife I found it belong to Ngombe people. Ngombe are known as water people and believe in mythical entities like Akongo and Mbokomu. Akongo is a creator god which is a deity that's responsible for creating planet earth. And Mbokomu is said to be the first women on earth. I like the idea using Mbokomu or the idea of a powerful women. Mbokomu is the daughter of Akongo. I find that coincidentally picking the two prompts that I picked was really suitable as Ngombe are the water people and I hav...
