Daily Update #1-3D and Animation

Hello you guys! Coming at you with my first daily update for my 3D graphics class. So today I started our first mini project or starter for the class and that is us making a temple. There is about a total of 10 or more pieces to this temple and each one must connect and not be floating in mid-air, because that wouldn't look right. I think the most difficult part today was getting the base. I had to delete and redo it about seven times, and I'm not exaggerating that either. But I think the future challenge is gonna be the dome on the top of the temple, nervous about that part and the columns but I have pretty much figured out the columns by now. So yeah that is my daily update for today and I hope to be posting that up here soon.

I found a really cool wallpaper on Google.com and wanted to share it with you guys, even though it is my background image, still just wanted to show you my Lion Of Judah wallpaper. I like how it says Lion Of Judah in the mane. But yes just wanted to share with you guys. Enjoy.

One Point Perspective

So here is a late assignment. It was a classwork one that we worked with one point perspective. It isn't finished but credit is better than none.

Red and Blue Whirlpool

Here is another wallpaper for today. I call it the whirlpool effect. So what I did was created a new document with the height of 600 and the width of 800. After that I went to Filter>Render>Clouds. From there I went to Filter>Pixelate>Mezzotint and made the strokes medium strokes. Then I went to Filter>Blur>Radial Blur. I set the amount to 100, made the blur method Zoom, and made the quality Best. After that I went to Filter>Distort>Twirl and twirled it to 120 and duplicated that layer and then repeated that same step but twirled it to -180. I then clicked Ctrl+U and did a different Hue/Color for those two layers and got that result.

Afro Poka Dot Circus

Hey there you guys! Hope your day is going good. So today I created kind of my own wallpaper. It was originally supposed to be something else but I changed it to make it my own. So what I did was went to Filter>Render>Clouds. After that I went to Filter>Pixelate> Mezzotint and added long strokes to the background layer. After that step I went to Filter>Blur>Motion Blur and got stripes going down vertically but instead took my own style at this step and got the bars going down. Then I went to the Gradient tool and picked my colors and then started somehow making circles. I clicked Ctrl+M and changed the curve of the color and used the Eliptical Marque tool to make the circle to really make the center pop. And that is all I did. Hope you like it.

Yellow Hurricane

Hello there!! So for today I did this. Its an abstract background. What I did was created a new document and made it an 800x600 pixels, and I filled the background with the color black. I duplicated the layer (Ctrl+J), and then went to filter>Render>Lens Flare. I moved the settings to 100% brightness and 50-300 zoom for lens type. Place the Lens Flare in the middle of the document and then I went to Edit>Transform>Scale and squeezed the Lens Flare down to be almost flat. After that I duplicated it again and then rotated it by going to Edit>Transform>Rotate. You should get a cross looking shape. After I changed the second layer to lighten. I repeated that step twice and got a flow shape, it is done four times total to get the flower effect going. After that I merged all those layers together and went to Filter>Distort>Wave and pumped up the Number of Generators to 38, Wavelength to 85 min, and 136 max.Set the Amplitude to 1 min, and 34 max. Set the type to "Sine," and then set the "Undefined Areas" to Warp Around. Then go to Filter>Distort>Twirl, and set the twirl to 366 but I set it to 400 to stylize it to be my own. After that I duplicated that layer four times and rotated each layer to go clockwise. Finally after all that I clicked Ctrl+U and cranked the color up to yellow but you can make it any color you want to. And then got the end product that you see up top. Well I hope you enjoyed that small tutorial.

Twirl Wallpaper

Hello. So this is one of my wallpapers that I made today. It's not a complicated one but I liked it. So basically what I did is used the gradient tool and just slashed vertically down and it should go from white to black. Then I went to filter>distort>wave and set the settings to number of generations:5, put it on square, and repeat edge pixels. After that I went to filter>distort>polar coordinates and then just clicked Ctrl+J to duplicate the layer. As duplicating the layer stayed on the duplicated layer and went to edit>transform>Rotate 90 CW. Set the duplicated layer to "overlay," and then filter>distort>twirl and set the duplicated layer to 200 twirl and then set the original layer to -200 twirl. And the went to Ctrl+U and just picked the color I wanted. And that is the result. Hope you enjoyed. More difficult ones are to come here soon.

StarryNebula

Hello today! Well I wanted to present my second mini challenge to you all today. I call it, "Starry Nebula." There is a lot of steps so I won't say all but there is about 5 layers in the picture and all are painted black. I added a lens flare over lighting effects.There were some blurs and I made it the size of a wallpaper. So yeah I hope you enjoyed it and sorry about the lack of details but there was just so many. But have a nice day.

Today I did one of our mini assignments that challenged me to create a signature background. There was a couple of things I had to do but I made a canvas of 400x400 and then used the gradient tool and just started to cross it all while in the colors of black and white. And then I went to filter> distort> wave and did that 5 times over and over and clicked randomize each time and them got that. I pressed Ctrl+U and then the Hue/ Saturation bar pulled up and pumped the settings to 205 and 50 and picked the color purple and then BAM! The end product. Hope you enjoyed.
