Its half past eight and I’m in Smeaton 108 again doing 3d max, I’m tired, hungry and irritable due to having spent hours on this getting very frustrated….
The 3d max file was going in-explicably slow so I found an import and export bit- which means that you can make things in other windows and import them in…ah, good I thought…maybe I can make files and import them in and that will speed it up and work fine…..
Nothing in 3d max “works fine”…
Any how I made the main television animation happen slightly later so that the cameras could pan around it and show it off a bit before it started to break apart…that meant doing the cameras bit again, but never mind.
I thought that once I had the tv looking alright I would slice apart a sphere and then put an orange skin texture on it and then have the banana come out of that…easier said than done…here are some screen shots.
I decided to scrap the whole idea of the ball as I was having all sorts of problems making it look like it was splitting apart realistically and then fall of the screen (as Id done with the box)….however it fell of to an angle, was to small, was sometimes visible within the box…nightmare!
Then faces started to warp….id extruded a bit on the back of the TV however later for no good reason it became transparent…so I managed to repair some bits but not others.
Also when swapping between open 3d max windows using the import and export tools the textures don’t work so I had to do them again.
I’ currently rendering my work – so hopefully it will be around the right time- and not to slow or too short etc….its really not the project I had wanted….but I’m trying- I think that we should have more than 5 tutorials for 3d max- the internet often seems the primary source of information these days!
