logo


This is my initial idea for my logo. Its not very much because i wasn't inspired and motivated by anything i found online or anywhere else. My first idea was to make my logo with only lines or boxes.
I wanted to do this because i would have the freedom to easily change and alter certain things, also it was easy to make the logo 3D.



These are my thumbnails that I made prior to my sketches and is where my sketches were based off of above.




Tools - lines tool, scissors tool, pen tool

 I made the letters seperately and grouped it at the end just I case I made a mistake. I did the same with my C letter. By deleting some of the C lines I made it look like it was behind the A so it would look better.

This is my finished logo for alternative cities. What I made is very simple however it is realistic and I could see the logo being used for different things in real life. the only thing I needed to do next to make it look official is to fill it with a gradient colour.

My Tank

My Tank (Photoshop)



This is a tank that i made using Photoshop. The tools i used to make this image were mostly lasso tool and use of gradient to put blended colour onto it to give the picture a 3D look to it by changing the way the light hits the different areas of the tank  and to give it depth.

 I traced the image and added layers. I changed the layout of the construction lines by putting multiply onto it so that i could draw and fill the layer over top of it to make sure that what i was doing was accurately drawn. 

Concept Art

My first concept digital art attempt.



Tools: Brush, Eraser (soft), Paint Bucket (over layer)

I made this using a total of 5 different layers. Mountains, Hills, Valleys, Close-up and Over layer. I used the brush tool to make all of this by editing its layout and gradient to soft and hard for lighter and darker areas.

Gta - facts, statistics and opinions

Ø  Gta launched in 1997.
Ø    Announced that the game had earned Rockstar £500 million in 24 hours.
Ø  The game sold 250,000 more copies than the previous record-holder, Call of Duty: Black Ops, shifting 1.57 million units in 24 hours and 2.25 million copies overall.
Ø  The in-game world is larger than Manhattan in real life when everything is considered to scale.
Ø Rockstar is certainly not afraid to reach deep and break out the big bucks, as the budget for GTA V is reportedly over £170 million ($267.3 million) - only one Hollywood movie has cost more to make, and that was 2007’s Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End, which cost a cool £190 million ($300 million) to make


Opinions

Ø The primary accomplishment in Grand Theft Auto V isn’t gameplay. It’s character. Grand Theft Auto V believes so strongly in its characters that everything else — even gameplay — is secondary.

Beginner - 3D Models


I used what i have learned to produce a partially completed elephant model on 3ds max. I drew a box out for a starting shape and used the connect tool to cut up the polygon into different sections. I then select the vertexes and rearrange them to form the base shape for the body of my elephant.



3DS Max - Guide to Making a table and chair.
Steps: Table


1.       Draw out a box.
2.       Put “edit poly” onto the object you have made and click on edges.
3.       Select the edges while holding down ctrl of to select all the edges you want and use the connect tool them.
4.       Go to selection, click on polygon and select all 4 individual polys while holding ctrl to extrude the selected 4 polygons at the same time to make legs on the table.
5.       Once the legs are at the length you want them to be then release the mouse and begin extruding again to make polygons that are inside the base that can be extruded to make supports for the object.
6.       Select the chosen inside polygon’s, then select all of them with ctrl and attach them together using the bridge tool.

7.       Scale the polygon to make a unique shape (optional)
