Hammer.H : Summer Challenge
Hi all,
I'm pretty new to Maya and the forum, but i regestered a while ago. I kinda got side tracked so couldn't get into the whole learning thing. anyway i know enough now to have a go at this challenge. So... i noticed people suggesting helicopters and airplanes - unfortunately i'm not rich enough for these to be my everyday objects. so i was thinking somthing smaller, (also i'm starting quite late on this one!). not actually sure what to go for but will keep you updated. |
i think i will make an abandoned toilet, would that count?
|
ha ha - that's a great idea. :) i'm sure it'd be fine.
looking forward to seeing what you come up with. |
here is what i have so far. i stuck a shader on to try some different colours... also just noticed the back of the toilet bowl is looking really square!

A great start on the modelling..looking forward to seeing the texturing on this since I have seen a few grossed out toilets in my time as a contruction worker.
|
i've pretty much finished modeling i think. gonna uv unwrap and texture over the next week or so. i put shaders on to give a feel for the colour. but I will probably beat it up and take bits out.
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y29...g?t=1219434563 any plumbers here? ...this is what i have done for the toilet tank. http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y29...g?t=1219434138 |
looking smooth! how'd you do the pipe-screw part (dont know technical names) at the bottom-back there?
and aren't toilets meant to have toilet seats? or is that why this one was abandoned? :p got shots of the wireframe? |
the screw bit was a case of just pulling the edges out. i added more with the add edge loop tool and then offset edge and scaled then up.
i've been uv-unwraping so the textures and abandonment will be done in a week or so. :) ...maybe sooner, i have nothing much to do right now! (i'll throw some wire frame stuff up) |
ha - great model hammer.horror - this is looking cool so far. :) i'm wondering if the tank bit should maybe be a bit wider - but that might just be me. also - it looks like the bowl has a bit of a bulge at the front.
|
cool thanks arran, i'll sort out the bulge or just make it part of the abandonment process...
although i guess toilets crack rather than squish. :p |
started some textures, here is an update...
http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y29...g?t=1220282991 lol not much but its a start! i've had other things to deal with recently so the progress has slowed. Here is an occlusion of the model, and from the looks of it there is a bit of a bump in the bowl part. anyone got any suggestions on how to correct it? i thought i could try averaging the verts or just model it again. http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y29...g?t=1220283161 |
i'd probably just remake that area - maybe with nurbs. it will probably be a lot quicker than trying to fix the existing model.
i like your textures so far - the rust looks great. |
Not much of an update... do you think this is too much on the abandonment?

Looks great so far and could stand a little more if anything, also the outside needs a little neglect .
