Alligator Speed Sculpt
So tonight in my ZBrush class we had a speed sculpt assignment to try and sculpt the alligator from the Peter Pan carton:
The point of the exercise wasn't to get a perfect replica or to get in all the detail. It was more to try and set the main big masses and try to shape it to look like the alligator. I think I did a good job in the short time I had.
At first I kind of panicked because I didn't really know where to start. I decided to start with the eyes and then everything kid of just flowed out of there. I think I did a good job at getting the shape of the head. I plan on coming back to this and getting more work done on it.
That's all for now, thanks for reading!

Cards & Dice - Homework 2 Finished
So last time I posted about my Python homework, I had to created a very simple way to make a deck of cards and shuffle it. For the assignment to be completed, I had to add a dice game to it and have a way for the player to decide on what to do next. Here is my finished homework:

return tempInt
#make the list of cards
def makeListOfCards(stringOfCards):
listOfCards = stringOfCards.split()
return listOfCards
#shuffle code
def shuffleDeck(inputDecks):
shuffledDeck = []
for i in range(len(inputDecks)):
tempInt = random.randint(0,len(inputDecks) - 1)
shuffledDeck.append(inputDecks.pop(tempInt))
return(shuffledDeck)
#This function will run the card game
def cardGame():
decksToShuffle = eval(input("Enter how many decks you would like to shuffle at once (1-5): "))
#This makes sure that the number will always be an integer
decksToShuffle = math.floor(decksToShuffle)
#This checks to make sure the entry is a valid entry
if decksToShuffle <= 0 or decksToShuffle > 5:
print("That is not a valid entry!")

#If the entry was valid, then execute code

I am really proud of this version of the "game". I spent some time making sure that it would work well and that it would look as interesting as possible.
That's all for now, thanks for reading!

Mixed Animal Bust # 1
Today we had a speed sculpt session at the end of my ZBrush class. The point of this exercise was to make a mixed animal, so I decided to make a lion with horns.
Here is what I have:

Making & Shuffling a Deck of Cards - Homework 2
For this next week's homework, we have to create a simple program where you created a deck of cards and shuffle it for the first part.
Then we also have to created a way for the person running the code decide how many decks to shuffle at once.
Here is what I made:
#Assignment002_ChristianMunoz.py
#01/25/2014
from random import randint
import math
#make the list of cards
def makeListOfCards(stringOfCards):
listOfCards = stringOfCards.split()
return listOfCards
#shuffle code
def shuffleDeck(inputDecks):
shuffledDeck = []
for i in range(len(inputDecks)):
tempInt = randint(0,len(inputDecks) - 1)
shuffledDeck.append(inputDecks.pop(tempInt))
return(shuffledDeck)
#main function
def main():
decksToShuffle = eval(input("Enter how many decks you would like to shuffle at once (1-5): "))
#This checks to make sure the entry is a valid entry
if decksToShuffle <= 0 or decksToShuffle > 5:
print("That is not a valid entry!")

Learning Python - Homework 1
So I have actually decided to go back to school and get a degree in Computer Science and hopefully make myself more hire-able. One of my classes this semester is CS 1410, and I will be learning Python for this class.
I have actually taken coding classes in the past and I know my way around Java, JavaScript, and ActionScript. I have also done some stuff on my own on CodeCademy to learn those languages.
Today I turned in my first Python assignment, and I'm really excited for this class. The stuff I will post below isn't complicated at all, but at the end of the semester I will have a full game built on Python.
The assignment was basically to introduce us to Python and learn some basic syntax and make a few conversions with data that the user types on the console. If anyone has some critique, please let me know:
# Assignment001_ChristianMunoz.py
# 01/14/2014
#Function 1 = This function converts Celsius to Fahrenheit
print("This program takes a temperature in Celsius as input and converts it to Fahrenheit")
celsius = eval(input("Please input celsius to be converted: "))
fahrenheit = 9/5 * celsius + 32
print("The temperature is ", fahrenheit, " degrees in Fahrenheit.")
print(' ')
#Function 2 = This function converts Fahrenheit to Celsius
print("This program takes a temperature in Fahrenheit as input and converts it to Celsius")
fahrenheit = eval(input("Please input Fahrenheit to be converted: "))
celsius = (fahrenheit - 32) * 5/9
print("The temperature is ", celsius, " degrees in Celsius.")
print(' ')
#Function 3 = This function converts Radians
print("This program takes an angle in Radians and converts it Degrees")
radians = eval(input("Please input Radians to be converted: "))
degrees = radians * (180 / math.pi)
print("The answer is ", degrees, " in Degrees")
print(' ')
#Function 4 = This function converts Degrees
print("This program takes an angle in Degrees and converts it to Radians")
degrees = eval(input("Plese input degrees to be converted: "))
radians = degrees * (math.pi / 180)
print("The answer is ", radians, " in Radians")
print(' ')
#Function 5 = This function finds two coterminal angles (one + and one -)
print("This program takes an angle in Degrees and finds two coterminal angles (one positive and one negative)")
userInput = eval(input("Please input the angle in Degrees to find coterminal angles: "))
positiveAngle = userInput + 360
negativeAngle = userInput - 360
print("The answers are: ", positiveAngle, " and ", negativeAngle, " in Degrees")
print(' ')
#Function 6 = This function finds a complement and supplement angle
print("This program takes an angle in Degrees and finds the Complement and Supplement angles")
userInput = eval(input("Please input the angle in Degrees to find the complement and supplement angles: "))
if userInput >= 180 or userInput < 0:
complement = 'IMPOSSIBLE'
supplement = 'IMPOSSIBLE'
print("The Complementary angle is ", complement, " and the Supplementary angle is ", supplement, ".")
print(' ')
elif userInput >= 90:
complement = 'IMPOSSIBLE'
supplement = 180 - userInput
print("The Complementary angle is ", complement, " and the Supplementary angle is ", supplement, " in Degrees.")
print(' ')
else:
complement = 90 - userInput
supplement = 180 - userInput
print("The Complementary angle is ", complement, " and the Supplementary angle is ", supplement, " in Degrees.")
print(' ')

Texture Tuesday - January 20
Here is what I did for today's texture. Since I'm back in school, I didn't have much time to start it earlier, so this was literally like an hour worth of work to make the high poly version of these wood planks for my texture.
I did the base model cubes in Maya since I find it easier to move stuff around in Maya. I also tried to subdivide the model a bit before sending it into ZBrush. This way I could make sure that my quads will be a little more uniform once I start upping the resolution. I did all the sculpting in ZBrush fairly quickly while I was on a class tonight.
I will bake the Normal and AO maps when I get a minute. Then I will try to do a quick Diffuse map in Photoshop. That's all for now, thanks for reading!

Texture Tuesday - January 13
Its Tuesday again (technically its now Wednesday since I'm posting after midnight) and it means another speed texture. This time I decided to do a Sci Fi themed floor texture.
I created the base mesh in Maya and baked out the Normal, AO, & Convexity maps. Everything else was done in Photshop and finally rendered in Marmoset Toolbag (bottom picture).
That's all for now, thanks for reading!

Texture Revision for January 6
So I got some feedback that the slabs were too smooth on my Facebook group for the textured I did yesterday. So I went back to Zbrush and added played around more with it.
I have included my revised texture and I also decided to do a render in Marmoset Toolbag 2.
Thanks for reading!

Texture Tuesday - January 6
So one of my old professors just started a Facebook group called Texture Tuesday. The idea is to make a quick texture about anything for games.
This is the texture that I made today. I started with the base model in Maya and then took it to Zbrush for the detail. I baked out a Nrmal Map and AO. This was actually a lot of fun to make, and hopefully I'll have time to do one every Tuesday.
That's all for now, thanks for reading!

Manga Drawing - Morishita from Love Theory
So this is another character from the same manga that I wrote about the other day, called Love Theory. Her name is Morishita and she is actually a gamer in the that avidly plays Monster Hunter throughout the story.
I will probably do a few more drawings of my favorite characters from the manga. Thanks for reading!

Manga Drawing - Saki from Love Theory
So I recently found a new manga that I really like on CrunchyRoll that I really like called Love Theory. I really like most of the characters in the book, but this is the main love interest of the main character, her name is Saki.
Anyways, I really liked her and I decided to do another trace and keep practicing steadying my hands while drawing. Thanks for reading!

Anime Drawing - Lida from Rail Wars (Colored)
So the drawing I was working on is finished and i added some color. The point of these exercises are to help me steady my hand when I try to draw something. When working in 3D I can push and pull vertices until it looks good, but when drawing its different. I will soon try to draw something of my own since tracing won't really help me in the long rung.
That's all for now, thanks for reading!

Anime Drawing - Lida from Rail Wars
So not too long ago I finished watching an anime called Rail Wars. Its essentially a show a guy that really likes trains and wants to be a train operator/driver one day. One of the girls he meets in his job is the girl above called Lida.
Now I'm not going to go any further into details of the show, but I do have to say that I really like this anime and all the characters in it. I have decided to keep training and trace picture I found of her. I find that tracing is helping me understand the anatomy more every time. I will add color to this here in the next few days post another when I'm done.
Thanks for reading.

The next homework assignment is divided into two parts, I have to created a Fibonacci generator that will print a list of numbers however long the user wants. And second, I have make a very simple text based Yahtzee game.
While I was in class tonight, I managed finish the first part of the assignment. Here is what I have:
#Assignment003_ChristianMunoz.py
#02/04/2014
import random
import math
import sys
import time
#This function suspends the thread for around 1
def sleeper():
time.sleep(1.0)
def fibonacci():
finalSequence = []
aInt = 0
bInt = 1
count = 0
#Player decides how many digits of the fibonacci sequence they want
amount = eval(input('How many digits of the sequence do you want? (At least 2) '))
print(" ")
#This checks to makes sure the number will always be an interger
amount = math.floor(amount)
#This checks to make sure its a valid entry
if amount < 2:
print("That is not a valid entry!")
print(" ")
fibonacci()
#If the player just wants to see 2 digits then we print them right away
elif amount == 2:
finalSequence.append(aInt)
finalSequence.append(bInt)
print(finalSequence)
#If the entry is valid, then execute code
else:
finalSequence.append(aInt)
finalSequence.append(bInt)
while (count < amount - 2):
tempInt = aInt + bInt
aInt = bInt
bInt = tempInt
finalSequence.append(tempInt)
count = count + 1
print(finalSequence)
print(" ")
playAgain()
#This function will run the next game if the player wants to start again
def playAgain():
decision = input("Would you like to play again? Y/N ")
print(" ")
decision = decision.lower()
if decision == "yes" or decision == "y":
main()
else:
print("See you later!")
sleeper()
sys.exit()
#main function
def main():
playerChoice = eval(input("Press 1 to see the Fibonacci Sequence or 2 for Dice: "))
print(" ")
#This makes sure that the number will always be an integer
playerChoice = math.floor(playerChoice)
#This checks to make sure the entry is a valid entry
if playerChoice < 1 or playerChoice > 2:
print("That is not a valid entry!")
print(" ")
main()
#If the entry was valid, then execute code
elif playerChoice == 1:
print("You have chosen the Fibonacci Sequence!")
print(" ")
fibonacci()
else:
print("You have chosen the Dice game!")
diceGame()
#Starts the sequence
main()
I've been thinking about the Yahtzee game, and I don't think it will be that hard. That's all for now, thanks for reading!
