Week 7 - working progress

Today I have been starting to import our building into UT3. However, I come across a few problems.

  • Because Liming did the model in 3d max with vray too, when I open the material editors, those material spheres disappeared. I never used vray in my life, so I got help from someone, who told me to install vray1.5, and then those spheres came back.
  • The building is quite complicated... I just realised that it is time consuming for us to put uvw mapping on all the building elements one by one. (Gosh, we should had done that right from the beginning!)
  • When the whole building has been imported, the scale of the building is too small to zoom in and out.

Therefore, we need to firstly, adjust the scale of the building, and then apply uvw mapping. Liming and me will go back to uni and keep working on it tomorrow.

After discussion with Liming today, between two of us, I will act as an software investigator, who does all the tutorials in UT3, such as putting textures and lighting. Once I have been familiar with that software, I will be teacher her face by face, and we will we finish the fabrication together.

For the other two girls, please find as many materials and samples as possible, so that we have everything ready to go.

See you all at 9pm on Sunday!
