Modeling objects using Nurbs. Different angles.
Scene should include at least 3 apples, 3 bananas, 1 bowl, one table.
Quackers Box UV Texture Exercise
Assignment Information & Requirements:
-Following guidelines students will texture a provided model using UV texturing. Submit .mb file and 3 rendered views with lighting, clean shadows (not pixelated), and ground plane. Make sure that all sides are lit properly so art can be seen on all sides.
House Project - Progress 1, 2, Final
Project Information & Requirements:
Progress 1
Complete Polygon House Structure . Block in the basic shapes of the rooms and house using one of the images you chose as a guide. Make sure to include:
