3D Modelling - Lightsabre Hilt



So today we were tasked with three tasks one of these three was to model something whether it be for your game or something for you VFX or  just something from your head. So my idea was to model a lightsabre hilt from scratch with no insights or anything to base it on this was completely from my head into 3ds max. This could've been very bad as because I had an idea of what I wanted it to look like but whether it would turn out like that would be another question. So far I have just finished modelling the hilt and I like the way it has turned out, the shape is very simplistic but I believe once it is textured it will make it look even more better.

So the next part of this process that I needed to do is UV unwrap it and at first it looked really bad but I managed to get the UV sorted and looking pretty nice. 

It looks a bit weird but when I am texturing this it will be simple because I will have 3ds max open so I know which part needs to be a certain texture.

More updates on this is coming for when I have textured this.

So far I like the way the model has come out and that I managed to get my ideas worked out and looking pretty nice and I can't wait to get it texture and see what it looks like. I do have one idea but I will need to see if it is possible and that would be to have a crystal in the middle of the hilt  supported by the inside of the hilt but I might incorporate something like that into a different model as I have an idea for another hilt.



This is my lightsabre hilt fully textured and looking very nice if I do say so myself. The texture is more of a rusted look as I made it to be more like a forgotten relic that has been buried for such a long time. I may still do a more polished version like it had just been made including a crystal in the middle of it if it is possible.

Now that is textured it looks a lot better than just the model and I like it so much more now.

Model [Doomhammer Model]

So today we decided to do some more 3d modeling. The models could be of anything we like of any genre so I decided that because I have played World of Warcraft in the past and it is a game I enjoy I decided to model one of the weapons in the game. The weapon i chose was Doomhammer which happens to be very nice model and has some nice detail in the model. The picture I chose to help: As you can tell the model looks quite difficult however a lot of the detail in the model can just be done with texturing the only part I could worry about or just not have on the model is the cloth above the hilt that sticks out but we shall see what happens when it comes to me texturing the model. My model so far: The shape of my model is looking very similar to what the original looks like and I am enjoying making the model as this is definitely developing my skills in 3ds max as well as texturing. I will be updating this post with every time the model is updated.

First Attempt at Modeling Characters in Maya

Day 1 - Maya Character Modeling  So today I had my first attempts at modeling a character from reference images alone which for my reference images they are from an artist known as Josh Addessi and the image is his Golem Keeper. I chose this reference as it seemed like an interesting way to start off modeling characters as a lot of the shapes are still quite cube like with the golem being made of rock and it having a lot of sharp edges on it. I believe I did okay just starting I seemed to start off strong and got a hang of until I came up to the shoulders however the tutorials that Matt gave us helped a lot in that respective area as he showed us a nice and easy way to do it by using an edge loop. I made some mistakes in my character as there was a point when I went to mirror one side of the golem it had six faces on top of each other which I did fix just by deleting any extra faces that were on there. The only part I have to do next is to model the basic shape for the head as Ma...

Synoptic Project So far Personal & Group

So this post is just an update on the Synoptic Project so far as of right now we are onto week three of the synoptic project and so far the project that I am working is one of the ones I voted for when we were choosing which of the projects we were going to do. So for my job role in the project I am a 3d Modeler and so far I have been working on models that can be placed around the environment to fill up the environment so that it doesn't look empty when you are walking around the environment. So far I am enjoying the project and so far I am getting on pretty well with the task I have been given however it doesn't really have that much to it as I was just told to make some models to place in the environment so even though I know how the project needs to look and the theme of the project it is still quite hard to get the right type of models to go inside the environment. I have managed the work pretty efficiently so I am never left with nothing to do I have made sure that I ...
