Today's excercise

OK Guys We are starting polygon modeling today so I want you to pick one of the models below and later on we are going to create these in stunning 3D!!! The first one you should pick is the darlek. Keep hold of the Car we did last lesson as we'll be needing that when texturing time comes.

Poland Trip

OK initially here are some details of our trip this April to Auschwitz, now these may change but it will give you a flavour of what to expect.

Auschwitz Tour
The World's most notorious place of genocide and mass grave. Started in 1940 as a concentration camp for Polish political prisoners, in 1942 it became the centre for the extermination of European Jews. In 1940 - 1945 the Nazis killed about 1.5 million people there, mainly Jews but also Poles, Gypsies, Russian POWs and people of other nations.

You will spend about 3.5 hour in Auschwitz and Birkenau concentration camps, where you will be given an English guided tour by the Museum's licensed guide. The tour begins with a 15-minute documentary film about the liberation of the camp, then the museum guide will show you exhibits in some of the surviving prison blocks, the gas chamber and the crematorium. After a short break you continue to Birkenau, where you go up to the watchtower above the entrance gate to see the view of the biggest Nazi extermination camp.


Wieliczka Salt Mine Tour - Visitors may take a walk of 3 km through 3 levels in the Salt Mine down to 136 meters below ground level through chambers and passageways excavated in the 17th century. On the way visitors see underground chambers and chapels hewn out in the saltrock, statues of saints sculpted in salt, and saline lakes. The Salt Mine at Wieliczka is listed among UNESCO's World Cultural Heritage monuments.

I initially thought Ahhh! salt mines, Stalin, Siberia and Goolags, but then I saw these pictures:

NURBS

NURBS to you all! You all seemed to do very well with the old NURBS well done. They are quite tricky as there's very little to do moving points and many operations to perform to get the model you want.

Hey Guys

Today we are going to look at NURBS, now these can be tricky and a little confusing, not my speciality I must admit BUT we will be creating more cars and then texturing these later.

Sorry Guys

Been a couple of days since my last post, just wanted to say sorry but I've been working on some Maya tutorials to post on a Forum.

I've got what should be a good lecture about the Games Industry tomorrow. I'll try to get through as many reviews from last week as I can.
