Today is the second to last day of the quarter and I just finished up the last assignment I needed to do this quarter and it feels good to finally be done with UVW mapping. It got really tough and annoying to me to be honest. The next assignment I had to do after the box assignment from last month was an assignment that had me follow a tutorial to put a UVW map to create a gas can. After that I had to make my own soda can and wrap it, but I decided that would take too much time and just skipped it. The next assignment I actually did was an assignment where I followed about 15 tutorials to put UVW maps into Photoshop and put different materials onto them to make the look like a barrel, a window, a wall, and the ground. Altogether it looks really good, but it took a really really long time. It taught me a lot about how UVW maps work and really changes how I look at game design and making assets for video games. It's a lot harder than I give it credit for and takes a lot of attention to detail. After the barrel project, the next assignment was to take our robot that we made a long long time ago, and to unwrap it and put different materials on it to make it look cool. My idea was to make a texture and put it on the the entire leg and copy that to put on the other leg, then put a lot more effort into the actual head of the robot. The robot I made, I think, looks pretty cool and was pretty fun to make as well. It was kinda of tough to get the back of the head because there was a long strip of the head that wasn't on the UVW map and it was pretty aggravating but I just decided to peel it in the UVW editor and put a red strip down it. The next part of the project was to take a picture around the school and Photoshop your robot into it and make it do a cool pose or something. I know it looks goofy, but I really like it and I think it looks pretty cool. Getting the chicken in front of the leg was a real hassle but I think I got it to look pretty cool and I think UVW mapping is pretty cool in general but a real hassle.
