Mud box - Lesson 1/2 - Modelling and texturing

As I was not in the first lesson, which was last Friday, I created an apple, fruit bowl and plane in Maya today before transferring it to Mudbox. After transferring all of the objects we then went into colouring and adding effects to the colours to make the objects seem more realistic.

 At first we looked at the fruit bowl and how different images can be transferred into Mudbox and then inprinted onto a surface. We then saw how different effects can change the shininess and texture. 

 After finishing that we moved onto texturing the picnic blanket. We created a new image on Photoshop of a picnic blanket. We then took that image into Mudbox and used it as a stencil to cover the blanket’s surface. After that we then went into Photoshop again and created a bump map which was used to add more texture to the blanket. We then brought all of the objects back into Maya and posed the apples, fruit bowl and picnic blanket.

Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind (2004) - Non-linear storytelling

Image
Figure 1. Movie poster (2004) Non-linear methods: Chronicle (Linear storytelling)  - The film starts off  with a non-linear storytelling method. This is as the audience are unaware as to where they are, who the characters are and what they are doing. The scenes also change suddenly and time shifts backwards and forwards. The story then becomes linear once Joel starts to get his memories of Clementine removed. This is as he is in a dream state trying to stop his memories of her from leaving him.  Figure 2. Joel and Clementine meeting Retrograde (Events in reverse order)  - This is shown throughout the movie without the audience realising until they are nearing the end of the film. At the start of the film the audience understand that Joel and Clementine have only just met and that Joel and Clementine's feelings towards each other grow, but towards the end of the film it is made clear that not only did Clementine and Joel know each other previously, they were also

Film review: A Knight's Tale (2001) - A Hero's journey

During today's lecture we looked into depth on Joseph Campbell's monomyth theory on the 17 stages of 'A Hero's Journey' and how the stages are very evident in films such as Star Wars: A New Hope (1977) and The Matrix (1999). The theory has 3 acts which come together to form the 17 different stages in A Hero's Journey.  Below is a diagram to explain Campbell's theory: Figure 1. Joseph Campell - 17 Stage Monomyth - A Hero's Journey (1949) The film that I am using to help prove this theory is A Knight's Tale (2001). Figure 2. Original Movie Poster (2001) Stage 1 - The call to adventure: The Knight that William (Heath Ledger), the knight's servant, works for, dies, meaning that William, along with all of the Knight's over servants, are left without a job. As the servants worry what to do next and panic as they haven't eaten in three days, one of the King's servants come over on a horse and explains that the Knig
