Learning Diary

4th December 2016
Today we were learning how to Uv we took a box and wanted to put some textures to make it look like a crate. Before I had no I idea how to Uv but we were taught how to do it and now I feel more confident in Uving and when I comes to my project I will have a better idea on it.
Uving is a process of putting a 2D image onto a 3D models surface.

Today I experimented making a brick texture by taking a picture of a wall inside of college then taking it into Photoshop and making it tileable. After that I made a normal map of it and placed it onto a box to show it with and without a normal map and compared them.

Today I did a lot of research into what artist have made bmxs and what games use bmxs for and how they have different uses.Also I research into a material i will need called oil slick and how it appears.When I get home i will take the pictures of my bmx off my phone and do a asset list/breakdown.

Today I experimented with creating a grip for my bmx and It looks great I also UVed a logo onto it.I also experimented with UVing my frame and adding my own seams so the UV would work better which to do that I had to research about point to point seams
