Day 6 (Feb.17.11) - Class

330 - 600 PM

1. The textures were NOT being embed into the exported files
2. It was suggested that i create a new material and do a screen shot as a means of applying the texture that I wanted which I did
3. I created a new file Pos4_2
4. Created a new material which was applied saved to folder FBX on the hard drive and Saved as a project called Pos1_2 
5. Then exported the file as Pos1_2.fbx
6. Did different variations about 3 times
7. Opened the human_Pos1.c4d and meddled with the materials and exported still no luck
8. Decided to put in a plane and apply the texture that I wanted to use
9. It didn't look the way it did on the figure but I took a Selection Screen Shot of the texture and saved it to Day 5 folder in my portable hard drive
10. After doing this a few times I organized all my files that had become scattered btw the computer's hard drive and my portable
11. The new folders that I had instituted were FBX and c4d_files
12. Organizing my fbx files into the folder on the computer's hard drive and the portable hard drive as well as putting all the c4d files related to the assignment in the c4d folder
13. Even duplicates of files were kept by adding a _# at the end of each file
14. Now that those things were arranged to my liking I was able to focus on altering the texture inside the new file opened in c4d
15. By changing the percentages within the material's window I was able to come up with 3 different variations on the single texture that I had applied to the plane then a completely different texture entirely
16. Imported them one at a time and tested them in Unity on the object Pos1
17. Without tweaking them in Unity they were okay
18. But once I realized that I could change the tiling on them I played around with each texture and it's tiling and offset until I came up with ones that I was content with
19. I ended up applying the Marble3 texture with a tiling of 10 and offset of .2 to all 4 of the figures
20. The last one I toyed around with the idea of having a different texture the 4th one that I had come up with but concluded with the Marble3 texture
21. Explained some of what I had done when asked and played through
22. A problem that was found was that the spacing from the first figure to the second one was too far apart and the second problem was the ending. There is a feeling that there should be something else there, something that is being guarded by these figures that stand along the path.
23. I went back and moved the 2nd figure closer to the 1st and as a solution for the 2nd problem I was planning on changing the texture of the figure as well as adding the object that they are protecting, probably a gem of some sort I'll crete or find that and import it and this should be just fine until i have to work on it some more.
24. Blogged
