3D Modeling & Animation

For my texturing I kept it super simple. I made my glass orbe a clearish Pink tone (I know it's blue in this but wtv). I used physical object and glass for it, and then added a marble texture so I could apply multiple colors, and so when it spins it will look much more realistic. I think the marble pattern will also help it actually look like its moving rather than if it were just a solid color. For my base I used a silver and gold marble bitmap and attached it to a physcial object. This allowed it to have my own choice of a base and allow it to be much more custom.  The use of materials allowed my primary artifact to be more creative rather than just one solid color.

When I was creating my scene I did not realize how some objects I was planning on creating myself, were actually to difficult to do on my own, which led me to having to gather more assets than I thought. When I was planning a lot of this I wanted to keep it simple because of my time crunch which is fine. The scene is setup in like a study or bedroom type of area so I looked for things I have or have had in my room in the past. I did not realize I would need to gather more objects than I thought, as I thought it would be easier to create the objects. Additonally, I knew that some of the more complicated things would require me importing them such as the cat or the chair.

I used the material editors quite a bit when I was making this as many of my objects need to have a certain pattern or texture to make it more realistic. I very commonly used the bitmap for my patterns in order to make it as customized and to my likings as possible. I used editable poly quite a bit when I needed to shape an object to make it more realistic and move certain vertex's. I also used the scaling tool a lot because when I was importing objects they were coming in all sorts of sizes, so using the scaling tool definitely worked in my benefit when I was making my scene. I did not really have to use that many editable tools though as the simplicity of the scene really worked to my advanatage when designing.

I started by making my main objects or what would be some of the primary objects like my orbe and my table as they are some of the main objects of my scene. Then once I started to import my objects I began to organize them a lot more, so I began to group all my books togther and my bubbles, etc. This was super helpful when it came to making my bookshelf and I had so many box shapes, so grouping them made it easy to find and access them. Having a list objects that I was planning on having in my scene also made the overall process work a lot better so I was not going off track or struggling to add more into my project. It gave me a direct list of objects to try and find to achive a simmilar scene to what I planned
