Unit 66: 3D Modelling

HA8 Task 7 - Review

Review

First I started this assignment by making as schedule planning on what to on what week, I did this by making an excel document with weeks on it to and highlighting the weeks showing which tasks I will be doing on the highlighted weeks. I updated the schedule every week when ever I couldn't get a part of work done on the week it was supposed to be done. shown below is an example of a schedule of one of the weeks, the schedule really helped me to keep on track and get all the tasks done before the deadline

I then started to research on well known robots in games and movies and then used those ideas to combine and create the best robot to my ability, this task helped me to come up with the perfect idea for a robot to design. I looked at robots from movies, games and also concepts of robots that could be released in the future. The robot from big hero six baymax influenced me to go ahead and design a nursing robot or a medical assistant. But I used a humanoid form for my robot inspired by C3PO from starwars. With all of these robots I created a mood board with with pictures of the robots and some information about them under it.

I then Started to do the ideas generation to see what the purpose of the robot is going to be. I looked into different fields such as what kind of work field where the robot can help in. I looked into Defense such as the military, entertainment and just jobs like doctors teacher and other skilled jobs. I then used the software called "mind Genius " to create a chart with all of these jobs as required in the task. This helped me to really explore into different options of jobs that are available as work. The graph is shown below

After I chose to make a medical assistant that would help doctors in surgery and other tasks, so technically a nurse. I designed the robot to have more flexibility with fingers so that it would work better in any medical environment. I gave it cameras and sensors that will help the robot to perform scans on the go which will also be really helpful when used with emergency services. Rather than taking the patients to the hospital to perform the scan they can use this robot to perform a full body scan on tend to the perform while its on the way. I designed 2 robots for this job and the robot design I used to model Shown below is the front view of the robot I designed.

I then started modelling the robot while using the design on paper as a guide to produce a 3D model. It took a while and took a little getting used to because I have previous experience with auto cad and the interface of this completely different. I had to get used where everything thing is and use different tools than I did in auto-cad. by this point the time was running out so i had to finish the base model as soon as possible and then worry about the little details after. In the end i managed to produce the model using Light wave modeler right on time as the schedule and i was also able add all the details after, I also had to import the model to layout mode in modeler to take the pictures of the models with all the details and textures. shown below are some of the snapshots of the model I made and after its textured.

Overall this assignment went really well and according to schedule because i managed to get all of my work done on time, so i also had some time left to improve on my work.

HA8 Task 6 - Presentation

HA8 Task 5 - Production

Shown below is my production log of the robot I have now finished making using modeller, I have posted screenshots below of the major changes I have done to the robot.

I started by using the display option to show the drawing scans of th

The picture below shows the first part of the body of the robot I started working on i made a box and used the "tab" key on the keyboard to make the head look smoother. I also made a cylinder for the neck.

I made a larger box as the box and selected and moved one of the polygons to make it looks like it connected with the neck. I also used the body to make it more smoother.

I made a cylinder where the hand would go and then used "bevel" to make it smaller and smoother. Then used "magic bevel" to extrude in on the path it want it to go

I made the hip by making a box and then pressing "tab" to smoothen it. then also made a cylinder that would technically help the robot spin 360 degrees from the hip. this cylinder connect the hip to body.

I then made a capsule that would go through the box that represent the hip to act as joint for the legs. I then made boxes and a sphere that would be a knee cap and the legs.

I used the bevel option to minipulate the shape of the leg and then pressed tab to make all the objects smooth.

I then used the mirror option to duplicate the leg to the other side of the hip so that I don't have to make it again.

Then I started layering everything so that it would be possible for me to add different textures to different parts when I load the object into layout. I then used smoothed boxes and spheres to make a hand for the robot. I used the move and rotate tools to put them in position.

I also added a scanner device and a lens for the robot for it perform tasks such as scanning patients instantly so it can diagnose any problems that they might have.

I then layered the full robot and used the mirror option on the hands and the arms.

I then added a medic cross on the chest to symbolize it as a medical robot.I used 2 boxes and used the rotate and move options to do this.

I then imported the model of the robot and a large box as a ground to layout. Then I used key frames to create different camera positions to make it easier for me to take the pictures of the robot after texturing.

I then used the material editor and pre-set textures to texture the robot. This was not a hard task because is layered the objects in the beginning so this wasn't too hard.

After texturing everything I then used the key-frame positions i used before to take pictures of the robot.

HA8 Task 4 – Design Pack

I designed two robot designs for my robot but for the same purpose. As a medical assistant or a nurse. I designed one robot with wheels and the other with legs. I chose to go forward with the robot with legs because it is more practical in a hospital rather than it having wheels. shown below are the designs of the two robots with different view point to make it easier to model. I have also pointed out what some of the things that are on the robot to make everything clear. Both of the models has been giving fully functional human like hands to give them the ability to perform similar tasks to a human nurse.

Shown below is the robot with legs which is chose to model.
