IT'S HERE. FINALLY. No, I'm not talking about the Senators uniform (coming late August!). I'm referring to Maya, my 3D nemesis. The Photopea of 3D modeling, if you will. I sat down for a few hours and decided to make a tire, and then a wheel, and then a unicycle. After a few 'happy accidents' reminding me to save (catastrophic crashes), I completed a simple unicycle. I experimented with bump maps, editing meshes, and new texturing. It's pretty hard to see the tire details in the render on my gallery page, so here's an exclusive look. You can see the grooves in the tire as well as extra detail on the unicycle itself. But finally making something in Maya isn't the only thing I did. I researched alternatives to Photopea and, after trying a few out, I found Pixlr to be a useful site for editing pictures. I liquified a picture of myself onto celebrities using Pixlr because it has less lag than Photopea. Then, I used Photopea to overlay the layers to blend myself more effectively. You can see the results on my gallery page. I also worked on another thing this month: hand drawing. I'll admit that it's VERY far from my favorite thing, but I still came back to it. I'm certainly not great, I'll say that. Check out my gallery page for the sketch. I'm posting it in a couple days, so if you're reading this, there's a good chance it's already up. I'm nervous and excited for the online school year and my opportunities to expand my skill set in digital art. I can't wait to get into creating basic games and learning new techniques. This is ciao for now, but don't worry, I'll be back.
