Blog Post 13 - 5/4

This week, I focused on finishing my temple for Poseidon and Aphrodite. The temple for Poseidon is intended to replace one of my Artemis temple in our 'flythrough' so I tried to stick the the 'tower' shape of the temple. Most of the model were a bunch of pieces from my other temples. The bottom of the building was from my Demeter temple, the top, door, and windows were from my Apollo temple, and the shell detail was from my throne I made for Poseidon. I readjusted and changed the pieces to fit the new model.
 

The railing for this building was the only thing new that I modeled and has a simple design. I did not put as much detail into this building because it will only be seen from far away in our final render. I redid the UV's for the pieces since the pieces were changed to fit the new building design. I also color ID'ed certain parts of the building to make the texturing process easier.
 
 

For the textures, I used a simple marble texture and increased the tiling to match the scale of the building. The metal parts I used a gold smart material in Painter and a color selection mask to easily apply it. I added ambient occlusion and some grunge maps to make it look more realistic. The shells I textured separately because of the high poly bake. I didn't reposition them from how they were on the throne because I would have had to redo the low poly process.


The temple for Aphrodite is a newly modeled building. The roof I stole from my Demeter temple and the statue was one of my 3D scans I did last week. I stuck with very simple shapes and a simple design to be able to complete in the time we had left.
 


I based the main design off the original temple for Aphrodite in Greece. I tried to maintain an elegant and delicate appearance to match the theme that Aphrodite symbolizes. The columns are dainty and the building maintains elegance. The stuck with marble and gold for the textures and added some rose details, one of Aphrodite's symbols. 


So far, we are pretty much finished with our scene. With four days left till submission, the only things to do now are a bit of tweaking and making the poster. I am extremely happy with how our project turned out and cannot wait to reveal the final product. Our team did amazing work.

  Mount Olympus - Destiny Smith Blog Post 10 - 4/13       This week, I focused on completing the textures of my last two buildings, Demeter and Athena. I started with Demeter with the intention to not get too detailed because most of it will be covered in foliage. Demeter's building is very Earthy and filled with nature to go along with her domain of being the goddess of harvest. For Athena's building, I tried to match it to the original Temple of Athena in Greece.  Demeter      I used the same brick and gold textures that I have been using for all my buildings but created a different height map with different bricks. I wanted the bricks to be more sloppy and round. I also added moss on the building and seeping through the bricks along with some extra dirt textures. I did the moss by creating a fill layer, adding the brick height map, and setting the blending mode to subtract. I used a plaster material I found online (see below) for the roof...

  Mount Olympus - Destiny Smith Blog Post 12 - 4/27   Throne for Zues      This week, I created a throne for Zues and 3D scanned Greek statues using white light scanning and prepared them for Unreal. I started with the same base I used for the Poseidon throne but made some minor changes to it. I added a pedestal to the bottom of the throne because Zues's throne is in the middle and he's viewed as 'the king' of the Olympic gods         I then brought the throne into ZBrush to sculpt some high poly details onto it. I only sculpted on specific parts I knew I wanted to maintain a low poly count. The rest of the details I planned to texture in Painter. I used Alpha stamps for the Greek patterns, reliefs, and the sun design on the sides. The top I drew on myself. I added one of the 3D scans I did (Winged Victory) and some lion and eagle models I found online. I went with the theme of 'The God of the Sky" and implemented a few sun deisgns...
