my pig in the sky.....Pigs can fly :) hehe....

Week 12- My Final Stamps WOOPIEE!!

Week 11 - My Pig

I attempted the pigs tail using the helix tool and the circle then lofting it to create a spiral shape... :)

Pigs Hoofs black and on a bit of grass...

After i made the main body i added sum eys to my pig by using some spheres and then i needed to add a tain and make his hoofs black..

This is the picture i used to create my pig from using a cylinder to start with and extruding out to the shape of the pig in the picture.




i created the ligs n ears on both sides of the pig by using the symmetry tool and copy the right hand side to make them both equal :)

The main part of the pigs body! :)

week 10

My green bottle which i made for another project i lathed on 3d max....by using photoshop to select the path to loft it on 3d max...

Week 9 - Snail

i started the shell of my snail by using the lofting to create a spiral shape..

Week 8 - Dolphin

Double trouble...dolphins cloned to make smaller one...

dolphin copleted :)

Week 7

Strengths-

• Tryin to make things look perfect
• Picking pictures for my stamps
• Picking up new techniques quickly

Weaknesses-

• I take too long on one thing its took me three weeks 3 start my dolphin... so i need to speed up!...
• Making things more difficult for myself in the program
• Still loads to learn.. :S

Opportunities-

• I can use this in my design projects which will help my present my products more visually...
• Learning new software which may be very useful in the future! :D
• Finally making a finished 3d animation :)

Threats-

• Me Working to slowly and not finishin in time of the deadine :-/ or i loose my work !!....

Week 6

The dolphin completed now all i need to do is add its skin ....

To create my dolphin i copied the picture behind it to get the rough shape, i done this by using the extrude and editing the polys to create it. Then i had to get a line of symmetry to make both sides equal to do this i cut it in half in a straight line - looped the edges - make them all straight - scale it down - go to the modifer list - choose symmetry - choose y axis :) and done!!!

This is an image of dolphins from a museum..

Week 5 - Pumpkin & Lighting

Final picture!
this was too yellow and very illuminious so i needed to change the lighting and colours to get a better quality!

using colour and lightin on a pumpkin using the omuni tool....

using colour with shadows and lighting!

Practising using shadows n lighting!

Week 4 - Looking At Exsiting Stamps...

These are our everyday stamps with the queens head on...

i really lik this stamp that i came across because its mixing design with stamps, as it is a really well known chair and is much more intresting than the queens head :)

History Of Stamps...

• Before the use of adhesive paper stamps, letters were hand stamped or postmarked with ink. Postmarks were the invention of Henry Bishop and were at first called 'Bishop mark' after the inventor. Bishop marks were first used in 1661 at the London General Post Office. They marked the day and month the letter was mailed.




• Rowland Hill invented the adhesive postage stamp in 1837 first started to take a serious interest in postal reforms in 1835.

Week 3 - Induction to colour and materials

3d version using photoshop and 3d mac

this a 2d leaf

after i learnt to do that i learnt t appaly a material to the shape!

This is the first attempt to adding colour to an object/shape.

My second attempt tryin to create a banana....!

My first attempt of the white house usnig the 3d macs... not bad!

Week 2 - inital ideas :)

Well last week i had a good go at the 3d macs modeling the WhiteHouse it was quite a challenge at first, but eventually i got the hang of it!...i have been thinkin for a design for these three stamps as i am not as good on the 3d macs yet... i want to keep my designs simple to get a good quality but i have jus put up sum ideas tht i got frm my images tht i gathered.........

• 3 Differnt types of habbitats
• Pollution
• Climate change
• Food chains
• Over population

More to come.... jus gota keep thinkin :)

Looking At Animals and Biodiversity..

Week 1 - The Brief

i have just recived the brief of the 3d stamps, i think the topic biodiversity...is different and will make a change instead of evryday stamps. i think that it is a good idea to get awarness as people could send letters to each other around the world and this will able them to pass the message on...The importance of the subject is inspiring me to create something that will inspire other people to think more about biodiversity.
