My House

In 3d Max we had to build a house using two cuboids and moving the vertex to create the roof them we had to decorate it all. We then had to create a street to go at the front of the house with a curb and trees. For this we had to get alot of research and images of different gardens, lampposts. etc.

When i went to put my final house onto my blog i discovered the whole texture had gone due to errors to the file. I discovered i wasn't the only person so i took shots of the actual house. If i could have more time or a chance to redo the whole house i would have checked first that the whole house was there rather than leaving it to the last minute to put onto my blog and realising that the texture wasn't there.

Tank Animation

For my final project in 3d Animation i had to put together a moving tank. I had to create all of the body kit and also had to animate the whole thing.

Overall i think this project went quite well. I think that it went better than i thought it would and glad that i got the actual animation moving. Im glad that my tanks actually looks like a tank and im glad of the basic shape of the tank.

However i think that the wheels are too much spaced out and i think that it would have looked better with a different texture. I think that a camouflaged texture would have looked alot better and more professional. I think i should have also spent more time in adding more detail to the tank like the gun and also extra parts the tank should contain. I think i should have done more research into tanks and looked more into depth into how they are put together and other methods.

I couldn't use 3d max as well as i thought i could and i think that you could tell this from my final design so next time i think i will look into 3d max and see how to use the tools. I think that if i had to do a tank again i would have spent more time on it and maybe take a different approach to the way i make it.
