Hi guys-
The goal of this homework is to teach you to find free 3D models so you don't have to build them.
Building 3D assets can be time-consuming and I want you to learn to prototype quickly so we can develop the "idea". Iterate in the beginning and do as much user testing as possible-
GO FAST- recycle when possible to save time. Once your idea is great you can invest serious time in the content development.
So I wanted to see if the snowboarding project could be done from 3D warehouse. Last time did not go so well.
Answer = I needed better search terms. I need to try different searches.
If you hit a run of bad models it can be tough, change the search.
Use general terms. I ended up using "snow mountain" as my search with great success.
Also importing collada files into one scene keep breaking- you have to save them out one by one as described below.
Here is the general workflow for 3D warehouse.
1. download the collada file.
2. open in maya
3 save file as individual .mb file
4 combine all .mb files in a master scene
5 print screen images with creative camera work
