Create a 3D model of a cartoon or superhero biped character using Maya

Create a 3D model of a cartoon or superhero biped character. The model must be analysed and converted from a real world counterpart model into a 3D model constructed using Maya. Your virtual model should be textured and coloured as its real life counterpart. The following elements need to be submitted: • Maya project hierarchy of your character. This is a MUST; no other format is acceptable. For objects in your scene other than the model itself, you may use stock items from Maya or objects from other packages that have been converted. Ensure you acknowledge the sources of any extra materials in your written description. • Your model must be modelled in a t-pose or x-pose to allow for possible rigging and animation at a later stage. Models which are not submitted in a t-pose (x-pose also acceptable) will not score as well. • Turntable anim of character of at least 200 frames (exported via playBlast as H.264 file) • 6 rendered images (jpg format 1920 x 1080) that incorporate your character model along with other visual media to show it off in its best light. • A written description of the techniques used to create the model. This written description must be at least 500-750 words in length and submitted in pdf format. Include the following to your analysis: o Measuredandscaleddrawingsofyourmodelshowingtheimportantfeatures and dimensions used in the construction of your virtual model. o Screencapturesofyourmodelatseveralstagesofdevelopmentto demonstrate how your work has evolved o Asetofphotographs(orsubmittheoriginaltoy)ofyourmodel...fromclose up so we can get an idea of the nature of the surfaces, colours, textures and geometry. Assessment criteria/Marking key: Your submission will be assessed based upon the following criteria: o Accuracyofthemodelbaseduponmeasurementstakenandcomparisontothe original photographed or submitted character. o QualityandlevelofDetailinModel o QualityofSurfaces/Textures o Qualityoftheinterpretationofyourmodelasevidencedbythequalityofthe final renders o EfficiencyandcreativityofMayatechniquesused,asevidencedbythewritten description
