           This post details a process I developed using a program called EBSynth to apply artificially created hand-drawn textures to a 3D model.                                             Fig 1                                                                                       Fig 2 Fig 3 Fig 4 Fig 5 Fig 6      The process:          A model is created in Maya, with two skins in the style of Fig 1 and 2. Fig 1 provides information on where different textures should be placed. Fig 2 provides lighting information for those textures. ...

This was my first animation with detailed custom character models, created for my Intro to 3D Animation Class. While we were only required to use a character model/rig provided by the class, we were also allowed to use custom models if we desired. I chose to create two models and attached them to the skeleton and rig that was provided by my class - although I have since developed an equally detailed rig on my own.

       I designed this set myself, for my 3D Lighting and Texturing class. It was a fair bit more detailed than what was expected for the project and also features the robot model from my Intro to 3D Animation class.
