Sketchbook: Mimic Kairatta

Mimic Kairatta · May 2011

This is where I shall post my progress, quick sketches, or just random stuff I did at the time. Critiques are welcomed and comments are also good. Any advice you may have will help improve my skills.

Practice, made a drill bit as fast as I could.

A character, been working on this on and off on my spare time this week. Current progress is here.

Making a wooden watch, currently working on gear one. The big one on the right.

Having difficulty figuring out a way to make the holes even on the inside.

Hammed Al-Tamimi · Jun 2011

Are you creating the gears by starting with a polygon pipe? That generally helps with symmetry, although another thing you could do is create a small piece of the gear with a tooth at the end and moving the pivot to where the center of the gear will be. After that, you would duplicate---> special (in maya) and having the angle of rotation equal to 360 degrees divided by the number of desired pieces. By doing that, the center of the gear should be symmetrical.

I hope this has helped you.

Keep working on it, and remain optimistic!

I've actually did that gear using duplicate special on a single piece. The real issue with this is that, while it helps keep it even all the way around, I can't make the 4 pillars without combining and merging the entire thing first.

Luckily, I managed to find a work around it by cutting the entire thing into a quarter, add the pillars and duplicate special.

Thanks for helping me out.

And more watch construction.

Current progress on watch, trying to figure out how to approach the handle that connects the ring with the watch at the top.

Okay, after working on the same character. I've developed an issue with a certain piece of geometry.

See this circle:

When I rotate it, is somehow distorts and looks like this:

Does anyone know what is causing this?

Does anyone know how I can add curves without adding more polygons?

Great work! Have you done any texturing?

Mimic Kairatta · Jul 2011

I have, just not on the buildings yet. I plan to though.

And now, for some fractal designs using maya.

It looks like you've made some real progress since the last time I have seen your thread. You might want to start thinking about UV maps. Keep up the good work!

Mimic Kairatta · Sep 2011

Thanks, I do plan to do UV mapping once I'm done creating all the pieces.

Sorry for the lack of updates, been busy with non-3d work. Here's some pictures of a quick model of a ship I designed.

I like the little house, would love to see it textured

Add a little chimney and a trash can on the side!!

Mimic Kairatta · Dec 2011

Thanks guys, already added color to the building to test out how it looks.

Jessica Dinh · Dec 2011

Hmmmmmm, doorknobs!! Also, why are the blinds on the outside, I just noticed that and it's kinda funny haha. And why are the doors 2 different widths?
