Week One of Model Creation

I have been so busy I have not even had time to post the Week One blog yet! Week One we were to build four large props to fill the scene provided by the instructor. Only one reference image was provided to look at while we built our models. We had to do a table, chair, shelving unit and one other large prop, which I chose as a cabinet.

I used my silhouette skills a lot during this week. I started out by just blocking out the models to begin with so that I could try to get accurate scale and proportion. After that looked good to me I started to add the details. Once my model was completed I checked all my edge flow and made sure everything looked nice with the silhouette. I also made sure I had proper holding edges so the models held their shape when I put them into "3" mode.


 I believe these skills will help me in the portfolio class so that my work looks professional and finished. I try to pay close attention to the small details so that my silhouette is accurate and looks nice. So far this has been stressed in our classes as it is important for the 3D world. I really liked using holding edges instead of the bevel tool and will use that whenever I can. The bevel tool always seemed to mess up my geometry. The holding edges really make the models look nice and think it will really help build great models in the portfolio class.

I seem to have done well on the assignment with a few things I need to fix for Week Two. I struggled most with the trim. Getting the right angle so that would meet up correctly was difficult for me. Not sure if there is a tool to creat angle like that so I need to research some more. Furniture does not seem to be my strong suite!
