3D Terms and Definitions

So here Is the base color wheel that you can look back to. There are much more complex ones you can use but for now let is go with the simple for this section of the terms referring to colors.

• Analogous Colors

Analogous Colors are any group of related colors near each other on a color wheel such as red, orange and yellow.

• Complementary Colors 

Colors that are directly across from one another on the color wheel are complementary and provide its opposite the greatest chromatic contrast like purple and yellow are in this example.

• Primary Colors

These colors are the main colors that cannot be made by mixing other colors and when mixed with each other can make all other colors. These colors are Red, Blue and Yellow. (simple to find on this color wheel.)

• Secondary Colors 

These colors are made when two primary colors are mixed in equal proportions.  These include Green, Orange, and Purple. (These are conveniently place between the primary colors on the color wheel like the universe was conspiring to make my job a little easier today!)

• Tertiary Colors

Along with being a really hard word to type this means colors that are made by mixing two of the secondary colors. Do you see a pattern yet? (These are also conveniently placed between their respective secondary colors to make life easy.)

• Asymmetry 

There is a lack of balance or symmetry in things that have this. They are not even.

• Symmetry

This one should be obvious. There is balance in things that have this and are even.

Started Over on the Helmet!

Not the greatest picture I have posted but the only one I can really get that shows all the work I did in a few hours.

Inventing stuff

This project is very Tron and Daft Punk inspired. I going to create a sort of robot or automaton that is a companion or helping hand. In every futuristic movie there is the robots that help the main character so I figured lets finally make this happen. You are the main character and it time to get your mechanical side kick! Bionic butler! Computer commanded companion! ( I can go for days.)

The problem was to create a robot that could help in everyday situations. I collected ideas for what the robots should look like or be designed after and pinned them all here. 

All other companion like robots have been made to look more human like and as a result just end up looking creepy. I propose that the companions look like just what they are, robots. I am surprised that this is not more common due to how future star struck many people are. By going this route it will be easier to make these companions and not worry about how they compare to us but rather that they are their own separate and beautiful / sleek beings. I am hoping that these robots will be the size of an average adult rather than the small child  size and shape that most companies seem to be taking. I also hope for these companions to be exactly that, companions, not slaves to those who get them. They will function as a friend to younger people and assistance to the older. To all it will serve as protection, think robocop with less guns. Over time they will form a bond with the "owner" and will protect them and those they are instructed to. Should a companion see a child is in danger they will remove the child from the danger, should an adult be injured or be in danger the robot will protect the adult and call emergency services because they will sense when their "owner" is in trouble. When I say the robot will form a bond with their "owners"  it may not be in a way that the robot can tell you are not feeling well by the way you look like a mother might (though this could be possible in the future) it is done through a small device the "owner" must wear in order for the robot to recognize them as a companion. This device looks like a small series of circles that will attach to the back of the neck with the use of a medical like adhesive. This device will read the vitals of the person as well as pick up any clues as to how they might be feeling such as hormone and chemical changes. Then the device will transmit all this information to the robot. If their "owner" has a heart attack the robot will be able to call emergency services and possibly save their life. The robot will be able to tell if their "owner" is getting sick and help them be diagnosed faster. This robot will be useful to both young and old, is an advancement in safety and medicine. 

This is the wine glass after it has been filled and the Material has been changed. I hope later I can make it look more like glass and the liquid look more like liquid.

I started this Trex in Mudbox. Its a cool thing. Yeah. 

Wine glass

Since the helmet I was working on could not continued to be worked ob because of the updated Autobox website we began working on a wine glass using an imported image as reference, much like the helmet, and used  the same curve tool used in the growing boxes to create the outline of one side of the glass then rotated it to create the entire glass.

Temple in progress

This temple is nearly finished but the little details are still being added and it then will be colored so there isn't grey mixed with the golden color

The growing box

This was built with a cube and a curve tool then trace to create this affect.
This was fun to create and very easy, the hardest part being manipulating the growths to weave together and interlace.

Heyo

I have been working with computers for a good portion of my life so taking a class that had to do with creating something using my knowledge seemed logical. I hope to learn how to create something amazing in my 3D class and this blog will serve as documentation of my growth and creations as this school year progresses and perhaps even beyond. I will create using Maya, Mud box, copious amounts of Monster/Mountain Dew and whatever my brain decides to tell me to bring into this world, so in advance, forgive me if it is weird since I am an odd character myself.
