Basics of Drawing Shapes

                 For this assignment we were asked to look at references from Syd Mead and make them into basic shapes. I liked the picture of the car because it looked like something out of the Daft Punk videos which was really cool to me.

I was never taught the fundamentals of fine arts and drawing and even watching youtube videos didn't really help, but I had John and Rene help teach me some of the basic fundamentals to try and replicate this in basic shapes which is super awesome of them! Here was the result!

Simple Box Assignment

            I've never touched unreal before and it was really weird learning and trying to build something for the first time. It was interesting to play around in, but was definitely a bit confusing to work with.
             To begin we needed to establish scale and so we took a cube in Maya and the mannequin from UE4 and scaled them together. Then we take the small cube and begin to bevel the edges.

Here I took the box and beveled the edges and after made the edges smooth for a softer edge.

After we put it into unreal and began to make material instances for the mesh and started to create our template.

After we set up the template, then we can duplicate it or create new instances from our template and change the case color or other properties.

Then after we set up all our materials with the desired colors and properties we want, we can begin to build whatever we want.

   I tried playing with the lighting, but it was hard to try and get it the way I wanted so I will definitely be playing around with that more! I also wanted him to have a matte color style instead of shiny because I thought it would be nicer and closer to a cartoon style.
