Week 3 - More Max tech.

So, by now Iv got no excuses in which to blame my inadequate skill at this - now its the 3rd week and theres plenty with which I can practice...

Here, Iv got a handful of images which Iv messed up and subsequently placed on here for all and sundry to criticise at their most basic level


I was primarily required to create a 'map' from which I could place onto various shapes and objects Id created - hence me, being the ostentatious person I am, created a map of my name


This, albeit simplified, is 'the' application of that map, brutally presented on top of a unlikely cylinder. Also note the extremely naff presets conjured up by Max to demonstrate 'planets' - if you don't know what I mean, its the doughnut and the sphere next to it


As a final representation, I have added in 70's education TV-esq backgrounds to jazz it up.
Sods law, as soon as I try to do this, a texture map disappears from the sphere and the teapot - perhaps the programs way of telling me that I'm just not original enough for it to show what Iv achieved!


As a example of my apparent lack of ingenuity or originality, I decided to succumb to the urge of the simpleton, as in good ol' monochrome. Surprisingly, its almost worked in my favour - the favour of an artistic and contemporary that is. I mean, I could go on about the the silhouettes and the physical presence they create, but...its all totally unnecessary!


Roll on next week - from next week, this page is dedicated to those calender months I was jabbering on about last week, but they will here again next week, although this week was about something only slightly relevant...or something along those lines...
