Some crappy renders before I fly away to Annecy. It’s...not that bad for a first character no? ...no?

I want to retake the whole model now haaaa

Box Modelling- Key

25/11 - Samantha Hernandez

The aim of this assignment was to model a key with simple forms. We were meant to block out the image using extrusions from a cube, or cylinder all while keeping clean geometry. For my key, I found it easiest to start with a cylinder for the rod part of the key, I then went in and added edge loops to create the divets. To create the part that actually unlocks anything I grabbed a few faces from the main cylinder and extruded them downward. Next, I added in a few more edge loops so that I could create the rounded out opening. 

For the handle, I decided to use the quad draw tool. I found it much easier to match up the faces to my reference image rather than creating a lot of extrusions from one cube, risking bad geometry. Once I got the shape down I extruded the entire thing out to create a 3-dimensional shape and aligned it with the main rod.

This is meant to be a study for what is eventually gonna be a real-life set for a short film. Isso vai ser um estudo pro que eventualmente será um cenário para um curta-metragem.

Starting a new project, re-learning box modelling. It's been a good while since I've worked on anything 3D. Projeto novo, re-aprendendo box modelling. Faz um bom tempo que eu não mexo em nada de 3D.

Assessment 02 - Box Modelling the Base Mesh

Before I enter the sculpting phase, I’ve decided to produce my own base mesh, through box modelling in Maya, in preparation for the process.

Here is the start of my blocking process. As you can see, I’ve set up a projection material, based on my knowledge of Rob’s character modelling workshops. 

Although I also needed to look at a video from YouTube in order to recall exactly how to do it, since you need to right click on ‘file’ -> ‘create as projection’ in order for it to work when you select your texture/image.

Here I have progressed through the legs and am about to do the hands. I don’t have the feet turned towards the same direction as the concept art as I don’t really find it all that necessary.

This is the hand blocked out, with my solution to the n-gons around the wrist.

Here is the torso being blocked out, with the breasts being defined. As you can observe, the topology solution for the edge vertically intersecting the breasts isn’t ideal, since it ends in an odd location, just before the bellybutton.

Here is the updated version, which circulates the belly-button area and properly defines the abdominal area.

Currently, the mesh is being blocked out with the character naked. I should probably consider modelling Honey with clothes on for a change of direction from what I did with my Perry the Rabbit model.
