I did have some problems with the creation of my icons.

One being the border I had to redo it many times until I got it prefect and how I wanted it, this was only complicated because I wanted one part of my icons to be over lapping and a different part under the border but I sorted this out with layers. I also had a problem with “save for web and devices” this was because it made all the outsides of my images white and I was putting them on a black background but I sorted this out by changing the matte to black which made the outline of the icons fade into black. I learned for the change the matte of a .GIF and also that planning is very important on saving time in the long run. I think the main skill that I have developed in my drawing skill this is because before this project I did not think I could draw at all and also I met all deadlines because I planned out what I was going to do and when I needed to have it finished bye.

If you had the opportunity to make this product again would you do anything different? And are you happy with the overall product?

Overall I think my product was a success a have had some good feedback of my class mates and the only thin I would changed if I could do this project again is that I would do more concept drawings to develop my ideas more and also I would not but as much detail into my drawing this did cost me a little time and it was point lass because the icons a very small but apart from that I stayed to deadlines finished all my icons on time.

Does the end product match your original intentions?

Overall my end product was a success this is because I kept with my original ideas. The only thing I changed was the colours this is because I did not put much fort into them but at the end I decided to colour them in so I picked the simple colours like green for the dragon to the left mostly red for the bike I did. I decided to pick some good colour for every design and then use different shaped of that colour to stop it looking like one block colour.

My ships engine

I have started on one of my ships engines this is because i thought the first one i made was to plain. I got the the stage I'm at at the moment by getting a normally box and changing the shape and beveling some faces.

Ship

I have been making this plane in £D max i have used some box modeling tools like taper also moving vertex around untill it looked like i wanted it to then i cloned the plane 4 or 5 times to create the image

Using the material editor

I did some texturing using the material editer today it is very simple i created 6 box uses the clone than created 6 textures:

1. Metal

2. Phong lol

3. Blinn

4. Swirl

5. Marble

6. Smoke

Box modelling 2

I used 3D max to make a robot out of box's I used simple tools like extrude, bevel, vertex and face charges to create it. I did find one thing hard, welding all the joints together.
