Assignment Overview

3D models used in rendering are boring and nondescript without textures and colors. These can be enhanced with physical based materials.

Requirements

• Minimum of 2 render images each of a a UV unwrapped and textured object in Blender or in Maya
• Minimum of 1 object mesh with more than 6 faces in scene
• Minimum of 1 use of each of the following (Texture Image, Bump)
• Minimum of 1 light source
• Render 2 different camera views of the scene at a minimum 1920x1080 or 3840x2160 (.png or .jpg)

Process

1. Create a 3D polygon model with more than 6 faces. (You can use meshes from 3D scans or from photogrammetry scans or exported models from Autodesk Fusion.)
2. UV unwrap an object mesh.
   • UV Mapping - Maya
   • UV Mapping - Blender
3. Use the image textures provided below, images textures from online sources, or create your own image textures.
   • Polyhaven.com   is a great source for image textures, mesh objects, and HDRIs for rendering.
   • BlenderKit has many textures and 3D mesh objects available.
   • Substance Painter
4. Apply the a diffuse / color image texture.
5. Apply a bump map image texture or normal map image texture.
6. Ensure the textures wrap around the object without stretching.
7. Add additional mesh objects to the scene.
8. Add a light source.
9. Render 2 different camera views.
