brick of wars (gears of wars)

This is a nice bit of stop motion done with lego.

My five genre for my iphone, sci-fi, puzzle, horror, adventure and action. what i did was make up a mind map of what 5 genres i would choose then i did several icons that could represent each of the chosen gernes, once i had a great variation of icons i choose my finales and improved on the chosen ones. when doing my finale icons i was very protechique on it, i fought very carefully about what i wanted my icons to look like, i wanted to represent there true purpose for there genre with an outstanding background of course. for sci-fi i fought spaceships and the stars which is what sci-fi is basically, for puzzle i fought of borrowing the riddler icon from Batman because he him self is a challenge for the mind, for horror i wanted to go for an ironic/misleading joke where i would use the head of teddy bear which isn't scary and turn it into something scary, for the adventure i fought what would represent adenture better then indiana jones so i did a template of indiana jones hat, for action i fought of what things are asociated with action (voilents, explosions, war, fighting) so i went with a bloody nuclear symbols. each of these icons have been traced over hand drawings by me that i took a picture of and draw around on photoshop.
Each of my finale icons that i have done meet my exact intenstions.
when working on this project i spent about an hour doing my planning, another hour working on my finale design and about an hour and a half finalilizing it on photoshop. I suppose i could of done things more effishant if i was a better player on photoshop, its i just struggle a bit on photoshop trying to find my way around.
I found that the planning side to particularly easy but the finalelizing a bit hardish.
i wouldn't try to compare my actual icons to a profecinal i feel it isn't as ellegant as them but comparing my ideas i would say works better then an profecinals.
Other people think my work is a piece of ingenius work.
if i was to improve on it i would try add more detailed texture or something like that.
if i was to do it again i would ask for more help into making it look more detailed.

This was my work on photoshop being processed to 3D max and this is the final product, I used a template on 3D max to colour in the parts that i wanted coloured in my vision, i was able to add detail hence the lights and windows with a wee bit of blood. on this project we taught how to put images on 3D max objects, from images from the inter-web to photoshop to edit and then dragged into 3D studio max onto the object. on this project we started out by pulling out a rectangle and molding it into car like shape then we added to cylinders for wheels. when i drew out the rectangle i did it by 5x2, then from the rectangle i pulled out parts of the rectangle to create the driver area then i started to in-dent parts of the car to give it the car-shape.
once i i finished building the model of the car i went onto photoshop were i got temple of different parts of a car, the grill, head light and windows, once i got different parts of cars on photoshop i edit it out on photoshop to get rid of the parts i don't need, once i did that i dragged these pictures onto this colour editing tool thing which from there were know effects that i then dragged onto the body of the car which came out as the finishing product above.
comparing this to professional example would be like comparing it to a childs toy, to be onist it ain't that impressive.
when i showed of my car they weren't that impressed with it because of its orful appeal but they did find the blood stain amuzing.
the only thing i would of done differently or changed would be to make it look more like a sports car or a classic american muscle car.
for me i learned a great deal on how to apply images from the inter-web to photoshop to 3D studio max.

Reflection on my 3D model

• I suppose i could improve imy 3D model by maybe adding texture like maybe a army com or desert warfare to give it a more realistic feel.
• expand my inteligence level to understand my way around 3D max.
• Everything i suppose.
• My lack of inteligence that slightly slowed me down.
• I thought i used my time very well, I managed to do my model in 3 hours or so and then i used the rest of my time into doing a short animation with my blade runner.
• I have learned a great deal in 3D studio max, such as lighting, texturing and manlipueming my objects to fit my ideas.
• Probaly any challenge that i'm comfronted with.
• yes, but not entirly because i wasn't able to go into greater detail as i hope i would, considering the lack of Knowledge.
