Week 4 Living Room Assignment

For this week, I mainly focused on creating the feel I wanted from the scene. I wanted it to feel like my own living room, so I added a few objects that I picked out from my own real life living room at UV. I added a few magazines, a stack of coasters (since we’re sticklers about not staining/damaging our coffee table), and a remote (much like the remote we actually have for the TV). I was also focused on mainly creating new materials to make the objects in the scene match the feel I wanted, and was able to add very basic colors as placeholders for my final textures.



I ran into a huge problem while working on my scene. I am currently using a computer that isn’t mine to work on Maya (since my own won’t open), and for some reason Hypershade refuses to let me add a file as a texture for my objects. Since this was my main focus of this week, I was unable to make the progress I wished to, however I added placeholder materials to somewhat represent the idea I was going for.

Some of the textures I wanted to update were:

• Couch texture
• Lighten to add variety to the color of the room
• Table texture
• Wood color is too bright, adjust/change to fit the theme of the room
• TV Screen
• Nightmare Before Christmas should be playing on the screen
• Vase
• Fix material
• Magazines
• Add Nintendo Power covers to the fronts
• Lamp Shade
• Find and add a canvas/fabric  texture to shade

All of these shall be completed by the final project date, they just need to be executed.
