I'm Free!

Modeling without having to watch a tutorial is so nice. It goes so much quicker when you aren't stopping constantly to rewind and try and figure out what the guy is talking about. Here is the basic layout of my interior.

New Project!

We are starting a new project at school. This on is going to be all us! No tutorials! I'm really excited! I am going to be the interior of an abandoned school. Here are some pictures I am going to be drawing from for reference.

I also have to include a mode of transportation in it, i.e. a car or bike. I haven't decided what I am doing there yet.

Final Product

Textured and bump-mapped the rest of the things I wanted to, and added some lighting (after watching a video on lighting) to make it look like the sun is setting far to the left of screen. I always render in ridiculously high res cause it makes me happy. :)

Im happy with it.

Just about finished

Here is a preliminary render of my alley so far. I need to find a few textures online and or add some bump maps to a couple of areas. About an hour from finished I'd say.

Ok texturing is a pain.

Not sure if I am loving this so far.

Well that took a while.

Finished all of the UV mapping. That was a process. Here is the beautifully checkered alley all ready for texturing.

Modeling on a Saturday night!

The little lady is sick so I get to do some modeling tonight. I'm not glad she's sick by any means but I find that I genuinely enjoy this modeling thing. In the middle of laying out UV maps for the whole model. The modeling part is finished and I'm just around the corner from texturing!
