 To make a sky appear behind a woman photoshop was used, to combine the two separate images.

I created this rusty building with vines in Photoshop. I learnt about adding layers and using different types of brushes to make certain effects.I also  learnt how to add  a lens flare in the background for extra effect. A horror film like setting is created here as the stormy sky overlaps the broken down rusty building.

Within Maya I created my own  spaceship, starting with a simple design of the tail and two wings. the video on the right shows how I attempted to make the spaceship, using techniques such as combining vertices to correct the image and smoothing the model out for a cleaner finish.

I made the chair by selecting the poly cube and transforming and rotating it to form arms and supports. The legs of the chair was made by selecting the poly cylinder and pressing ctrl+d to duplicate them on each side.

Assignment 2 - digital mini challenges part 2. 

New York rooftops challenge 

Reference image:

I chose this reference image  for my New York rooftop because there's a lot of detail within the scene. The back wall has  a nice layer of dark glass with bars attached to it , a tall pillar beside the window as well as well designed pool in the middle. There are also well aligned  and colourful chairs around the swimming pool.

I Firstly , started off by selecting the poly cube modelling at the top and transformed and moved  them so that one was lower than the other. I also made a small rectangular shape to create a border for the chairs, aswell as the glass window and swimming pool. I assigned a new material to the window  then selected ai standard surface shader, then glass material  so that the glass would show in the render.

I decided to add different textures of bricks to the rooftop such as a grey marble one  and light beige wood texture to  contrast  each other. I then added my own spiral staircase , connecting to the upper rooftop to make it look  more realistic.  Also added cloth texture using ai standard surface shader to colour the chairs.

Time shift challenge 

Our next challenge was to create a time shift . For my time shift assignment I decided to create a time in the future with two Eiffel towers near each other, spaceships flying around them and a city below.

I started off by first creating the city of the time shift, making sure to  extrude some of the cube faces at the end  so they becomes skyscrapers. 

​

How I made the city :

Secondly, I created the spaceship and elongated the arms and the tail to give more a defined look aswell as adding a chrome material to it.

Finally, placing the Eiffel towers, city and ships in the air , I rendered out the model with my sky dome for the final image  .
