CAGD 329 - Rock Assignment This assignment took many iterations for me to fully understand what I was doing. ZBrush was new to me as a program because I had no prior experience with it, and I hadn't had the opportunity to experiment with it before starting this assignment, where our class modeled rocks. It was a great learning experience, however, because there are not many constraints around modeling rocks, and it allowed me to experiment with different tools and brushes that ZBrush offers. I modeled five rocks in total, but only textured and rendered out the last three. Due to the simple nature of the project, I was able to complete many rocks very quickly, which allowed me to learn from my previous mistakes in each successive model. Of the three rocks that I textured and rendered, two of them were more on the realistic end, while one of them was fairly stylized. I followed a very linear process each time. I would begin with either a sphere or cube mesh, then use DynaMesh to in...
