For this week’s group project I completed the final tree, which was different from the initial design in that I changed it to a pink color so that it would look better with the blue glowing lawn in UE4.
In the group work session, the teacher taught us to use a new software which was amazing, it used a recorded video and scanned the characters from the video and turned them into 3d models.
Step one, import the video and scan it, the model will be rough at first and the background at the back will look poorly finished because there is no information.
Step two, select the extra unwanted parts to remove so we are left with only the parts we want.
Step 3, round off the model so that the face looks more comfortable and has more detail.
Step 4, apply the decals, which will be automatically generated in the video.
Step 5, finally I exported the model as an obj file and opened it in maya and the decals were still available. This made me feel like I have more ways of making models and I can learn more about this software in the future.
