Today, I worked more with texturing in Maya. I ended off the day about to bump map this slurpee barf looking grass texture so it can have some more depth when layered into the project. Right now, due to me being terrible with sizes, I’ll try to scale to scale it down when it’s put into the assignment to look more like detail than actual puke.

Today, I was able to get a bit more done on my mushrooms in Maya. We only have about a week left, so I’m gonna start moving more quickly when it comes to adding more mushrooms. I might mess with the lighting a bit to make it more blacklight, and the mushrooms will have to unfortunately get cut down to more simple textures. Other than that, everything is going well.

Today, I continued working on texturing my mushrooms in Maya. At this point, I will need to start rushing a bit. We don’t have much time left to work on the assignment, and since we have been focusing on other in class stuff, we have not been able to work on this Maya project as much as we could. What I have at least been able to do is finish texturing the second mushroom, but I’ll need to rush through the rest. Another thing I also need is the lighting, which I also do not have due to not knowing how to add it.

Today, I continued working on texturing in Maya, as well as my Test and Quiz. After doing both the test and quiz, I focused on getting everything set up for texturing one of my mushrooms. Making such a simple texture is a lot more time consuming than I thought. The only problem I had is that the texture doesn’t fully wrap around as good as I thought, but luckily I can just hide it.

Today, I worked even more on the grass, even though I should’ve started texturing. I was able to sorta get the grass to work, but it ended up being super painful, since some of it is either floating or in the floor too deep. While I was able to make the grass satisfactory, I was able to start a bit on UV Mapping. It will be a bit hard, since I’ll need to texture every mushroom individually, including the miniature ones.

Today, I unfortunately was not able to get as much progress done as I wanted. What I was able to do, was texture the grass, but for the rest of the day I was fighting a losing battle. What I was trying to do, was get the grass to copy and paste around the field, but unfortunately it seems that both methods I tried using did not end up working.

Today, I continued working more on my grass in Maya. What I was able to do today was make the basic model for a singular patch of grass, as well as finding a tutorial on how to add it. What I’m going to do before I duplicate the grass, is get a nice looking texture on it, so I can see what it can looks like with the proper shading. This will most likely be the first and only texture I make for awhile.

Today, I got some more progress on adding smaller Mushrooms into Maya. So far, I haven’t gotten smaller shrooms on all my mushrooms yet, but I’m slowly getting there. I once again haven’t had any problems when it comes to making these, so I’m lucky for that. What I’m most likely going to do is take a break from working on the shrooms for now in order to make realistic grass.

Today I worked more on my Mushrooms in Maya. What I have started to do is add some extra smaller mushrooms to go with or on the much bigger mushrooms, to add more detail to the whole scene. So far this is going well, and I haven’t had any issues so far. I’m going for trying to add this detail of extra mini mushrooms not only just one or around the big mushrooms, but also scattered about the scene.

Today, I started configuring how the lighting might look in my SkillsUSA Major Assignment. I haven’t gotten much done at all, and even the little bit I have looks horrid, but at least I can see the mushrooms. I’m planning on trying to get this twilight-like feel to add a mystical aura to the scene, so I’m trying to find the right colors and lighting in order to pull it off.
