Shufflin'

Hi again.
I thought I should really start to keep my promise and update this blog more often. I have continued working on the church today and I am starting to feel pleased with what it looks like. Tomorrow it will be time for chamfering edges, the entire day. Perhaps not that fun, but quite necessary. I also need to do some clean up of the low poly model. At the moment it is at approximately 12000 polys. I want to get it down to about ten, but we will have to see if it is possible. Here is a picture of the church, still a work in progress.



Also, I realized that my camera has been delayed, and will not be delivered to me until the 21st of March D: I had hoped that I could have taken a walk this weekend and gathered some textures, but apparently not.

Any ways, tomorrow it is Friday, and I am looking forward to the weekend and some relaxing. Hope you have a great evening, I am off to bed and LOTR!

Gunaliscious

Yo, it has been a while, but I am done with the gun. I actually finished it about two weeks ago :D I thought I should post it now so you all can see it. I am very pleased with how it turned out. I have learnt a lot of new modelling techniques and a lot about texturing. I hope that my new skills will make my next project go even faster!


So lets talk a bit about my current project. At the moment I am building a church. It is supposed to be a Victorian style church, which has proven to be a bit hard. It turns out that the Victorian architecture takes influences from everything when they built their houses. It is hard to get a coherent style, as I am not building a specific church, but rather take bits and pieces that I like and combine them. I hav got some useful feedback and I think it will look cool in the end. Here is a work in progress!


On Thursday a camera that I have bought will arrive at the post and I am hoping that I can use it to walk around Visby in search of cool textures. I have an idea that if I get a big enough library, I can use it to make new materials, nearly every day. That would teach me a lot and I would defenately become way faster at, I think both modelling and texturing. If i know what I can do with a texture, I know what I have to model and not.

Anyways, have a great day!
