The Grass



The grass was one of the hadest things I had to make due to the fact I had never done it before. To start off a plane was made to hold the grass. A noise modifier was added to make it less uniform and let there be fifferent levals like the ground really is.
Next i entered the front view and created three seperate trangular shapes that would end up being the grass.
Next each shape was bent at different amounts (50, 60 and 80 degrees).
After this the scater tool was used to make copies of each blad of grass at random points. 15000 were made of each one.
Following this The three differnt blads of grass were given a different shade of green colour added to them and the plane was made a brown colour.
To finish the part it was all grouped together.

Fence



A metal fence was needed for the ouside court yard. The shape was made using a number of different cylinders and a shpure for the top. Once one pole had been made then six more were copied out and conected to each other.

A metal material was needed to make the part look right. A number of different maps including reflection/ refraction, glosyness and shine were added to give its look. And the part was then made black which i think made it look really realistic.

desk



A desk was needed for the reception area. This was done putting two champhur boxes together and rounding of the edges.
After the shape was made a wood effect was put on both boxes. The top on had a black and gray wood effect and the bottom one had a redish blown wood effect. The tiling was increased to make the wood look more relistic.


The next step was to make a chair and sofa. The was done by making the basic shape out of oil tanks and champhur boxes. After the shape was made it needed a fabric material was needed.
Three seperate materails were added to give it its look and i think it came out very well.

The Project

The aim of this project was to make an animation for the ymca about the different events they do.
We went to the Y to see what sort of things they did and this gave are group many ideas.
We desided to make 3 seperate videos showing a few different music types and what the Y has for eash on. And one of the Y its self bringing t hem all together.
May job for the project was to make the building its self. I first went about this by going back to the Y and having another look to see what the layout was like and what sort of things they had on the walls etc.
By doing this is gave me lots of ideas on what to do.
