Advanced Modeling and Animation（Final Project） 7 October2025- 22 October 2025 LI YUHAN (0379857) Week 10 I sketched out a rough draft of the environment and began modeling it in Blender. My vision was for a more stylized, curved environment overall, since the two rides I designed in Project 2 were also quite abstract. I aimed to give the entire piece a cyberpunk + sci-fi aesthetic. The modeling process went smoothly; I completed it step by step using the Blender skills I had learned previously. Then I went to Bilibili to search for how to create a plush material and set up the material following the tutorial steps. Week 11 However, when it came to adjusting the materials in UE, I found it quite challenging—it's an area I'm not particularly skilled in. With my classmates' help, I finally managed to finish adjusting the materials and lighting. During class, I showed Mr. Duriraju my progress. He suggested brightening the ambient lighting since the installation was hard to see ...

Advanced Modeling and Animation Assignment 1: Create Models for an Interactive Space 7 October2025- 22 October 2025 LI YUHAN (0379857) Design and Concept I started by looking at some images for inspiration, gradually establishing the general look I wanted for the two models and creating a mood board for them. Mood Board Then I conceptualized the specific forms and content of the two models. My idea is to create a mechanical octopus-themed VR attraction called Kraken Core and a drop tower ride styled like a spacecraft launcher named Vector Ascension .Then I sketched them in Procreate to facilitate subsequent 3D modeling. Kraken Core: Its head is a massive holographic projection that moves in sync with the storyline—rising, falling, rotating, and vibrating. Unlike traditional rides offering only a single sensory experience, Kraken Core combines multiple senses to deliver a truly profound immersive VR experience. Vector Ascension: Vector Ascension is a lift-and-spin ride I designed inspi...

Advanced Modeling and Animation(Weekly Learning） WEEK1-WEEK14 LI YUHAN (0379857) Week 1 The focus of this week's class was an introduction to and practical application of Blender. The teacher began by systematically explaining the basic operational logic of the software, with a particular emphasis on the significance of scalar parameters and how to set appropriate values, establishing a theoretical foundation for 3D modeling. Following this, under the teacher's step-by-step guidance, we engaged in a comprehensive hands-on exercise—modeling a basic Ferris wheel. This session allowed us to experience the entire process of constructing a 3D object from scratch. This session deeply impressed upon me that 3D modeling is a fusion of rationality and creativity. Manually adjusting parameters and observing the subtle changes in the model made me realize it's not just artistic creation but also a form of precise "digital sculpting." Although the Ferris wheel project was sma...
