3D Modelling: Time Machine Final Render and Marmoset Turntable

Normal Map

Ambient Occlusion Map

These are the maps I used on my Time Machine Marmoset model.

I wanted the glove part to be fabric and the cuff to be a metal material and designed the maps correspondingly.

Roughness Map

Both the Metallic and Roughness Maps took me a few tries to do correctly as sometimes things were too reflective etc, but I think that it's turned out alright.

I included a close up screenshot of the cuff as it is not that easily seen on the turntable preview.

3D Modelling: Column Final Render and Marmoset Turntable

Normal Map

Having baked my pillar in xNormal, these maps were created and saved in my files, a Normal Map and an Ambient Occlusion Map.
This meant that, using these maps, I could generate the column in Marmoset, making a 3D preview of the model.

In Marmoset, the lighting and different maps can be applied and changed.
For this model, I have only used the Normal and Albedo Maps and also the Ambient Occlusion Map.

Before I actually started creating the UV map, I thought that an organic object would be easier to do than objects with hard edges. However, I've found that it's more difficult to determine how many shells are needed for an object and where the seams should be.

It took me much longer to UV map my column than the time machine but I think that may be due to the fact that were more parts to the column, and also because I was just starting to learn UV mapping.

3D Modelling: Column Low Poly Model

This is the low poly of the column created in Maya by cutting in the decimated version of the high poly to the original Maya model.

Upon reflection of this piece, the smooth preview has been distorted due to missing edge loops when deleting and replacing faces throughout this process.

I started all of the UV Mapping process of each face and section from scratch by selecting each face then either planar or cylindrical mapping. then editing them as I saw fit. I mapped them all out before scaling them and putting them into the top right section of the grid in with the coloured grid for UV mapping.

This was my first time UV mapping properly. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be but it took me roughly 10 hours to complete the UV mapping of the column.
