More tasks...

Here is a quick update on the few things we gave been covering in lesson in recent weeks!


We have covered several new techniques, most of them involving Splines, but more on those later as I'll now throw up some renders of the items we've been asked to make for homework and class work since we began.

Let's quickly go through them so that I will soon be up to date with all the work required for this module. :D

Firstly: Robot.

I made this from a sphere by deleting the Polys in the middle, capping them and adding in two tubes to make an adjustable stomach. I gave him an encased head and rotatable robot arms.
ANALYSIS: Fairly basic, but I learnt a bit from deleting the Polys and capping them.



Secondly: Dinosaur

Used before my stegosaurus to get me used to modeling from a single box outwards.
ANALYSIS: Ok. Nothing new to add here, this was an exercise in extrusion.



Thirdly: Postbox

Made as a way of practicing with insets and positive/negative extrusions. Started as a box that was also chamferred to make the curves.
ANALYSIS: Pleased with this one. I managed to add further detail to the model by being gentle with the insets and extrusions which allowed it to look like my reference material. DEfinitely more comfortable with the tools used now.


Finally: Skip

This model required some patience as it was deceptively complicated. This was because I decidede to make it entirely from one box model. Using insets, extrusions, moving and scaling, I managed to accomplish this in a short amount of time.
ANALYSIS: Very happy with this one, it was trickier than I thought it would be so glad I managed to complete it without too many problems. I feel I was quite disciplined when making this.

There you have it! Caught up with most of the small tasks, I will shortly be posting about the new techniques we learnt regarding splines, yet my biggest post will be concerning the designs for organic and inorganic models whic we have to complete by the end of semester 1 and are graded on!

The designs for these are a priority so they will be completed soon and will be the focus of most of my attention.

See you next time!
