CAGD Classic Car Week 2

 

 Classic Car: Week 2 



Another week into modeling my 1958 Plymouth Fury. I’ve ran into a few issues. Namely, n-gons. When working on the wheel’s I figured out how to solve the issue with the back half, but when I got to the front half, I couldn’t wrap my head around it. So I decided to leave it, and work on the rest to come back at a later date. Now when it comes to references, PureRef is saving my life. I’ve pulled up a bunch of different angles to work from, thankfully there’s a lot of photos out there. Modeling straight from the curve tools is a bit of a challenge since some of them aren’t aligned as I had initially thought, but that’s what my references outline is for. 




Another modeling challenge I’ve ran into is the bumper. I have it outlined but it’s still a bit confusing trying to figure out the actual depth, where one-part ends and another begins. This is mostly due to the car being very rounded in those areas so it’s harder than it would be with the front. At least though, I got the glass parts filled out. 




Here are some wireframe and shaded photos. 




Welp, that’s a wrap for week 2!

Fishman model 04/10/2024

 Hello there readers! This is my first time blogging, and well, I'm a little nervous. I've been told to track my progress, failures and lessons learned, through blogging so here I am!  To start off, why out of everything did I decide sculpt a fishman? Well I woke up an hour earlier on Monday this week, and thought, "I haven't been on Zbrush for sometime, I miss it." So, of course, I hopped out of bed and started looking up references on Pinterest. That's when I stumbled across a drawing made by Desar Yuartha, and I thought it would be fun to make such a monster. And it was!  Within that hour, I had the base model sculpted out, then I had to head on over to class, which kinda sucked because I was fired up and ready to continue sculpting. On top of my homework, it took me three days to sculpt the entire thing, Monday to Wednesday, but I'd say in total less than 20 hours in total.  Any challenges I crossed? Plenty.  I kept on making mistakes with the keybindi...

Mavros Bust - Practice 05/31/2024

     Hello hello readers! This bust was mainly just about practicing hair 'cause it's my worst enemy, using a character I've developed for a story I'm working on. Although, I did learn some awesome stuff about clothing and subdivision levels  (as a sole dynamesh user)! Now when it came to hair, I found this awesome brush that makes strands, and you can adjust them into whatever shape you want, which I used HEAVILY. Even though It made things a lot easier, the majority of my time was spent styling it and giving it a bit of texture to make it more hair-like.       I made a mistake early on which I only realized late stage, that I should have kept the parts that I wanted to be animated separate from the rest of the hair, instead it was all combined into one object. Whoops. I was going to go back and redo it, but I figured this is only a practice run, so I don't actually have to nit-pick everything, I just need to focus on making the product better, a...
