All projects require a render
Post a render with your project post.
Check your file sharing settings.
Zip file includes .MA, plus image textures
You need to message me when you post late work.
No late work will be accepted for Project 3 and the Final.
Office Building Homework
Create an office building with 6+ floors, in Maya using a simple Cube.
Poly count: 6 faces / 12 triangles (can be rectangular) Texture: 1024x1024 diffuse, specular, and bump map JPGs
The easiest way to do this is to first find a photo of a building that was taken straight-on, so the windows are lined up horizontally & vertically. Use the Transform->Perspective tool in Photoshop to ensure your floors are perfectly lined up.
Example tutorial, start with an image like the one below:

Check out the ratings and reviews for Mark Simpson from Miami Dade College (all) in Miami, FL
Congrats on making it to the end of the term everyone! I’ve been impressed with the quality of work you’ve delivered this semester, and I love seeing people taking the initiative to explore new boundaries.
January was a rough start but everyone banded together and helped each other out, spending time in the lab is crucial to success! Remember the reason why we’re here is not only to broaden our skills and improve the quality of our art, but to bounce creative energy off of one another . Being with so many others with the same love of animation, games, and popular culture is a rare gift. Make friends, have fun, and trust one another!
Please consider rating me on Rate My Professor, it’s my first year as a professor so I’d appreciate feedback! If there’s something you wish we’d covered, I might be able to add it to future classes.
No class next week, have a great summer everyone!
-Professor Mark Simpson PS. if you have late work, get it to me by Tuesday night, the 25th! The lab is open regular hours on weekdays and Saturday 8am-1pm.
Project Turn in Requirements
3-5 second render uploaded to YouTube and posted on your Tumblr
Scene file archived and in FINAL PROJECT folder on Dropbox
If you used 3D assets from a website like TurboSquid, give credit to the original artist in text under your render.
Final Due Tomorrow April 20th 10:40am
Outdoor 3D environment for a game or animation
3-5 second render
High-poly centerpiece(s)
Low-poly supporting objects
Terrain
Bonus
Add animated/motion-captured characters (2D or 3D)
Description
3D scene should include a foreground with 1 or more centerpiece objects that use high-poly modeling techniques and are lit using 3-point lighting; and a background made up of 4 or more supporting objects that use low-poly modeling techniques lit with image-based lighting or environment sun.
The final render should be 3 to 5 seconds long, with a simple camera movement like a crane, pan, or truck.
Everything is due this week, no excuses! Get it done!
How to lower the poly count of your terrain using Mesh -> Reduce
Final Project Due April 18th
Outdoor 3D environment for a game or animation
Concept due Thursday March 30th (drawing or photobash)
Requirements
High-poly centerpiece(s)
Low-poly supporting objects
3-5 second render: crane shot
Terrain
Bonus
Add animated/motion-captured characters (2D or 3D)
Description
3D scene should include a foreground with 1 or more centerpiece objects that use high-poly modeling techniques and are lit using 3-point lighting; and a background made up of 4 or more supporting objects that use low-poly modeling techniques lit with image-based lighting or environment sun.
The foreground and background scenes will be separate files with identical cameras, but with separate renders that are composited in Premiere or After Effects using green-screen techniques. To achieve this, it’s recommended to have a divider between the foreground and background elements with a hard surface, such as a wall.
The final render should be 3 to 5 seconds long, with a simple camera movement like a crane, pan, or truck.
Example ideas:
Bench in a park (foreground) with city skyline in background
Escape pod (foreground) with crashed ship in background
Battering ram at city gate (foreground) with castle in background
Spaceship on landing pad (foreground) with alien city in background
Gypsy wagon (foreground) with carnival in background
Fountain (foreground) with village in background
Pirate ship (foreground) with port-city in background
Ruined gate (foreground) with ancient temple in background
Space station (foreground) with planets & galaxies in background
Cemetery (foreground) with haunted mansion in background
Expensive car (foreground) with fancy hotel complex in background
Wrecked car (foreground) with post-apocalyptic city in background
Sci-Fi Lighting Project
Preproduction: Find Reference by Feb 28 (Tuesday)
Find 10+ images from movies, video games, and real photographs to use as inspiration for your room; interesting objects, textures, lighting, etc.
Stage 1: Model a 3D Room
Create a Sci-fi room in Maya that uses a variety of mental ray lights
You can use Maya textures and/or UV unwrap as needed
It should have an entrance & exit (can be a hallway, door, ladder, teleporter, open vent, manhole, etc)
Create a camera at the entrance, at eye-level, facing the general direction of the exit; as if we just walked into the room.
Professional level examples: https://www.artstation.com/search?q=scifi%20room&sorting=recent
Stage 2: Model Objects
Use the same large, medium, small approach when modeling objects.
http://www.neilblevins.com/cg_education/primary_secondary_and_tertiary_shapes/primary_secondary_and_tertiary_shapes.htm
Think Big, Medium, Small
Equipment inside the room tells us what room it is. Notice the objects in this room from Dead Space give us clues to it’s function.
Large Shapes - The shapes formed by the walls, ceiling, and floor should tell us what kinds of stuff goes into the room. The walkways should be thought out as if people worked there and were given enough space to do their jobs. Think of real world locations and how wide the doors are.
cozy living space - hallways wide enough for 1
warehouse - paths wide enough for forklifts
cafeteria - walkways wide enough for people to pass
hospital - halls wide enough for two surgical tables to pass
Centerpiece(s) - model a large object with a recognizable silhouette that tells us what the room is used for, for example:
medbay: surgical tables
server room: computers
power station: generator/reactor
tram station: train
Supporting Symbols & Objects - 2-3 smaller 3D models that reinforce the visual clues given by the centerpiece, and often use color and common signs or symbols like red cross, radiation warning, Hazardous Biological Waste, electricity, poison, flamable, XRays, etc.
Stage 3: Add Lighting
Once the room is modeled and populated with objects, create 3 lighting schemes.
Normal/Operational lighting
Warning/Hazard lighting
Danger/Emergency lighting
Here are some concepts & screenshots of Med-Bays, notice the:
large shapes (curved, inviting shapes on walls, doors, lights)
centerpieces (beds or surgical tables)
supporting objects with symbols (lockers, medical equipment)
