Adaptation Part A and B

Making Of How To Survive A British Holiday by MeganHowett

Adaptation Part B - Environment

Using my early designs and description from the book, I modelled part of the Clock family's home. I focused on the fireplace and surrounding objects.

Here are the texture maps for the environment and final renders.

Adaptation Part B - Updated Textures

After receiving feedback on my textures I worked in photoshop to improve the look of them. To make the clothes look less symmetrical I changed the colour and texture of the straps, using different scanned images for each and painted more detail on the dungarees. I also edited the stitches down the sides of the clothes to make them more oversized to match with the detail of the jeans.

I repainted the hair texture, playing with the scale of the photo texture to give a more consistent style throughout the different elements of the hair. Here are my final texture maps for my character.

Adaptation Part B - Texturing

Taking the textures I created using my scanned images, I applied them to my character in maya to see how they look in 3D. First I applied texture to her eyes and her skin. For her skin I used the mental ray fast skin shader and adjusted the settings until I was happy with the result. Using the different channels in the shader, I added detail around her eyes and freckles on her cheeks.

I used a wool/string texture for her hair, to create large stripes and tried different colours for the hair but I'm not sure which I prefer so feedback would be appreciated.
