A3D blog 9

In this blog I went onto do texture my assets for my diorama; because the character I picked was a divine character I decided to put him in a temple. I felt the character was to most important element so I started with that first.

I opened the uv’s in photoshop

I checking the uv’s in Maya as I went along I managed to get the colours in the right place

After I imported the AO map I had created earlier and placed it on top of the texture and set the layer to overlay.

I then place the texture in Maya to see how it looked

I went onto do the floor texture, because Greek temple floors tend to have patterns and made out of marble; I chose this texture

After I opened the torch uv’s

I then applied a stone texture to it, not that it would be made of stone, however the pattern would still work

I then went onto to do the base the character would be standing on; the base would need to have decorations in order to enhance the feel that it was a place of worship 

I found an image and edited it and then found a suitable background for it

After doing the base I went onto the bottom part of the pillar. I open the uv’s on Photoshop

I kept a basic marble texture for the top and bottom; however for the cylinder side I added a pattern to make it more interesting

To do the top and middle part of the pillar, I just used a basic marble texture, as I didn’t want them looking over the top and therefore become unrealistic in appearance.

Reflexion

By doing this I had to make sure that the objects texture match to character in the way of its cartoon appearance, this would be so the character didn’t look out of place
