11th Week - Fantasy To Reality

This week in Max, I started brain storming different ideas of what I could model in 3dsMax and then print in 3d. So far, the majority my thoughts have been regarding making some sort of figurine but I have yet to settle one idea. Other possible ideas were to make some custom housings for my usb drives. I do want to possibly incorporate moving components into whatever design I choose. Over this weekend I will think about what I should start modeling and try to make a large amount of progress modeling it next week. But soon, I will be able to say that I have brought the digital world into the physical world.

10th Week - Presentations

This week in max, the class gave their presentations. Normally, I would post a video for my presentation, however, I ran into several errors while rendering and was unable to produce a video of the scene. The original plan was to incorporate my motorcycle model with my terrain model, showing the motorcycle ride through the scene. The above still images are from the animation showing the beginning area where you ride under the bridge and the camera view from the riders perspective riding over the bridge. The presentation went fairly well with the majority of the class combining some real life video with animation.

9th Week - Almost There


This week in Max, I made a bridge and road system for my terrain. I also incorporated the motorcycle from my last project. The goal for this project is to have a nice modeled and textured terrain which my motorcycle rides through with the camera following the motorcycle. For the most part it is ready to be rendered out. I will try to find some nice sounds to put into the final video, like engine rumbling and maybe some bird chirps, but if I am short on time I will just put some music in the background.
