More Work Experience!

Finally got a reply from some of the companies I have been applying to and have been offered a work experience placement at Raw Games Studios. Everything is in the planning stage at the moment but I am pretty damn excited about it. Perseverance is definitely a good thing!

After looking over the forum posts at Polycount I realised quite obviously my jeep was starting to look a bit like a hummer.Heres a quick resized model to be a bit more realistic to the real life proportions. Seems that one simple mistake of not getting the blue print proportions right at the start of modelling was my down fall. I'll know to check this next time.

Working on the Unwrapping now but first to post the model on Poly count to get some constructive criticism from artist with vastly more experience than me =)

Work Experience Finished and now back to work.

After 4 weeks of hard slog at Hot Knife Digital Media my work experience finally came to a close and it never ceases to amaze me how much there is to learn with 3D. I have learnt a lot in that 4 week slot about tricks tips and on new software usage. I think I learnt more in that 4 week slot than I did a year in my University degree which was a massive shocker. I feel alot more informed but looking at my work alongside professionals I know there is along way to go but I feel even more determined now than ever (hence the 6 30 am post =D). I'd like to say a massive thank you to the guys at Hot Knife for giving me the opportunity to work with them and for their patience of my constant assault of questions. keep posted for new workings on this blog as I plan to get a few out over the next few weeks hopefully.

Work Experience

Thought I might post here that I've managed to bag some work experience in a digital media studio. Three to four weeks of intensified work using the Unity games engine... that im not used to.

Time to commence learning all over again and just in the middle of my Jeep project. It looks like this will have to take a a place on the back burner whilst I get to grips with this new engine.

Just finalising the modelling now before the push to the next stage of dividing the model up high and low poly for normal mapping and UVW Unwrapping. The renders of the model are looking good so that's half the battle done, then the horror of unwrapping this beast into two 2048x 2048 texture squares. If I haven't posted in around a month assume I've killed myself. =)

A further update of modelling. A few extra details and some of the interior, exterior and under carriage has now been put into the model.
