Modeling- The village

In order to save the rendering time, we try to build the village with low polygons face. So, we have to search lots of texture to make it be more realistic. Then, most of the buildings are made by wood in western style, so, we found lots of wooden texture.

This website is very useful, there are lots of texture categories.

Some texture edited by Photoshop.

Use Cylindrical Mapping to map the buckets.

 Another building. This is a windmill with texture.

Modeling - saddle & skeleton (Horse)

There is a pocket at the saddle because the character have to pick out the red cloth in it.

 Here is the rigging if the horse.

Modify the Cow's model

In order to make it be more powerful, we enhance the horns size. (Use the "Pose Tools" in Mudbox to adjust the size is easier for scaling)

 We decided to use a red color on the cow

Connection between KINECT and computer

Because the plug of KINECT is not USB typed, so we have to buy a converter to connect them. Finally, we found it in Sham Shui Po.

Modeling - cow (third version)

The horns and the face have been edited.

Modeling -cow

To fit with the style of our animation,  we try to edit the model to a cute style, so, we make the eyes bigger. Then, the cows are very cruel in this animation, so, we make evil eyes on it.
