Learning note-taking

[2015.11.30]An Introduction to 3D
    Today we talked about 3D modelling.It is a new skill for me to study.
• 3D Theory – Components of a 3D object
• 3D Theory – Polygons, Triangles and Face Normals
• UV Mapping
• Materials & Textures
• Material Graph
• Textures being applied to the material
• Shaders
• Lighting Types – UE4

    3D model is comprised by stereoscopic polygon in a three-dimensional space; Vertices, Edges and Faces have a numeric value in X Y & Z space.

 

    Polygons are the surface of a solid object. A Polygon is as surface with at least 3 straight lines (triangle, square, N-Gons). N-Gons are polygons that are made up of 5 or more edges. They are always changed to Triangles or Quads for avoiding rendering and animation issues during making models. (The prime choice is Quads.)

    UV mapping is a flat mapping from the surface of the three-dimensional model. U and V mean the X and Y axis. 

 

【2015】 Weekly Report

【Week 0】09.14-09.18
    This week is the first week for my university life. I start by exploring  my new city. I went to the Castle Museum to do some drawings. I don't feel very smart ,I think I did  a wrong piece for my homework..

【Week 1】09.21-09.25
    This week we are doing a insect character design..I have never drawn any insects before  in my life. My research  used Wiki and others on the web to find more infomation to help me do my work. Insects  are very interesting. I would like to think about how to create them and tell a story about them. I found some infomation about history of primitive times, Victorian society and the future of mechanical development . I will use them all to create my characters. I'm starting to learn more how to desgin character/model sheets .( I hope I have done it the right way )
    We had a course on learning how to use Zbrush  this week. Zbrush is very useful for making  a 3D model because I can draw on to the softwear and create something very easy. I would like to find  some online coures on Youtube.
