evaluation

Each design I came up with was suitable as I stuck to the same various objects rather than designing complete different things. Not all of my designs were made with the correct colours such as my developed designs of the bridge. My other designs included an appropriate colour for the object and was well made. My textures were handmade with the background of my final piece as I used them in photoshop, however any textures used on the mushrooms and bridge were not handmade and were materials from 3dsmax. There is improvement from my last design work and this time I have used both photoshop and 3dsmax rather than just using one. I found that it was difficult to try to make the photoshop background appear realistic enough rather that it just looking like a cartoon painting. What I foud went well, was creating the mushrooms in 3dsmax and painting the sky in photoshop. Something I would definitely do for next time would be to include more development stages of my final piece as I was unable to add screenshots for my final bridge.

My designs are laid out and well-proportioned to its photoshop background. I have ensured that the objects do not look too cluttered and are laid out neatly onto the page.

My work is fit for my audience as its basis follows a fantasy based scenery painting. All of my work meets the brief. My work was able to communicate with my audience correctly as I had chosen to create a piece that would evoke the attention of people who enjoy more fairy-tale and fiction pieces.

I had chosen to work in this particular media as fantasy based things - including magic was something I enjoyed watching in movies and games as a child and still do till this day. I am pleased with the final quality of my work but believe that I could have improved my photoshop skills when making the background. The presentation of my work was professional as I have posted my entire project in a order and is laid out clearly. My artistic techniques varied throughout the project as I used both 3dsmax and photoshop and therefore used different techniques. When designing objects in 3dsmax, I had used symmetry as a huge guideline when building the bridge and made sure I went into orthographic view to ensure better results. I found that making the 3d objects went well but photshop work was slightly more difficult. An improvement for next time would be to of started on my final piece earlier to of gotten my work to the best of my ability.

I am overall pleased with my work as I had never before made anything similar to a matte painting. Changes I would make for next time would be to make sure that I screenshot as much of my development as I go along as some bits were missing. I have improved on my 3dsmax skills as I learned how to use new modifiers to adjust shapes. I may not have used my time as well as I should have with the final piece of my work and should of started it slightly earlier. There were no safety concerns with my work. My project was different from any previous work as I had never used both 3dsmax and photoshop for once final piece. My work compared to other professional work is different as my old work during high school was mostly written and made by hand rather than on a computer.

final piece

this is a final image of both my photoshop painting and 3d models put together. I had put the two together by starting up 3dsmax and exporting the photoshop file onto where the bridge was made, then added the mushrooms from the other 3dsmax software.

final design

I then made a layer for the grass and began to go over the background layer of grass. I created an extra layer for flowers and began to draw them between the blades of grass. once I finished that all that was left to do was to insert my designs from 3dsmax.

[roxassenpai]

I hid all layers and began to draw a small blossom tree free handed. I made it appear small so it looked as though it was in the distance. once I had finished drawing it I copied and pasted it two more time - enlarging one to seem closer.

final design development

I then created a background layer for grass. I chose to do this as I was going to use the grass brush tool and decided to make a green background so there are no gaps in between the blades

final design development

I created a new layer for the water and began to sample the colours and placing them onto the layer. as I didn't want it to look the exact same, I added a ripple into the water to include movement into the image - making it seem as though one rain drop had fallen into the river.

final design development

by looking at the background image I selected, I replicated the sky but made small adjustments with colours so it wasn't identical. I used the brush tool to jot down colours onto the sky layer then blended them together to create a soft cloud look.

final design development

I selected an image I found online and inserted it into photoshop to use as format to go over. Instead of copying it, I would be using it to replicate

a final image of the bridge rendered

[roxassenpai]

final design

this is an image of a bridge I had developed in 3dsmax. I was unable to post screenshots of each development as I had misplaced them and had already grouped the object and therefore could not take it apart to screenshot again. I started by only creating half of the bridge by using a box then developing it from there and used the symmetry tool to replicate the other side.

final design development

once I had finished changing the shapes I replicated a mushroom and scaled the size to be larger to create the main mushroom for my final piece. once I had  done that, I had finished modelling my final designs for the mushrooms.

[roxassenpai]

final design development

by selecting one of the colours on 3dsmax I changed the stem colours to a light shade - resembling the colour of a real mushroom. I selected each mushroom and used the FFD tool again and began to warp the shape of each mushroom to ensure they were not all identical.

[roxassenpai]

final design development

 I searched an image of mushroom textures online and inserted it onto the top of the mushroom. I then began to scale the image down to an appropriate size in order to give it a realistic approach.

[roxassenpai]

final design development

by creating more lines I stretched out the stem still using the FFD tool making it appear longer in height. I chose not to use two separate objects to make the mushroom seem more realistic and actually look like one shape rather than having two separate items stuck together.

[roxassenpai]

final design development

I selected the FFD 3x3x3 modifier and enabled the control points so I could move a larger amount the vertices at the same time. I selected a row of the vertices and began to move them inwards creating a dent in the middle of the sphere, allowing the tip of the mushroom to form.

[roxassenpai]

final design development

the process of making my final mushrooms had a complete different approach. rather than using two different objects, I stuck to the one sphere and began to develop from there.
