We learn the differences between polygonal, Nurbs, and Subdivisional modeling, and build a simple flower of our choice.
Build an elegant flower model based on NURBS Curve extrusion, lofting, or revolution. Also provide the flower with a stem, leaves and a vase.
Deliverable: Post a 30 second playblast movie of your flower, with an animated camera traveling into the flower, perhaps following the path of a honey bee. Be sure to use compression for your movie, maximum file size should not exceed 10 MB. The due date is the next Wednesday.
Review: All timely creations will be reviewed and discussed in class on Wednesday
Sample File: A basic sample file should be downloadable here.
Notes: For 5 extra points, include a reference photograph with your flower and color your model using simple procedural textures.
