Hey everyone. Speaking of works in progress. Here is the low poly Delorean I have been working on for this summer’s Capstone project. It’s only a piece of the project, but I’ll talk more about that later.
I finished modeling him yesterday, and just finished some final tweaks and did a couple test renders. I squeezed him into 2490 polygons, which is under my 2500 limit I set for myself. I’m pretty sure this is at least close to industry standard as far as counts go, but if you have a better idea let me know.
Texturing is next for him, and I hope it goes well. Of course I have to UV map first, which is always fun.
As always, comments are welcome.
Hello again. Thought you’d like to see how the delorean is doing. Just finished the color part of the texture. I still have a bump map, specular map, and transparency map to do, but they shouldn’t take me very long.
Made a clock today. Yup. Sure did. And here it is. The first of three props for my capstone project that go along with the Delorean. Clock makes sense, it was a time travel movie.
593 polygons ( Might be a little high for a prop but I went nuts on the details.)
1×1024 color map
1×1024 specular map
1×1024 transparency map ( for the glass front )
Just finished my Guitar prop here. It’s a replica of the one Marty plays near the end of Back to the Future, keeping with my theme again. It’s a Custom Made Bigsby ES-355.
1363 Polygons (Way high for a prop, but I did put in all the little pieces with geometry as opposed to just in the texture like I could have. I wanted it to be as accurate as possible, but I kept the poly count as low as possible.)
1X1024 Texture Map
Just finished my last prop, and thus my last model for the capstone project. This one was the skateboard. It isn’t modeled after any one skateboard from Back to the Future, but I did design the bottom decal with that theme in mind.
908 polys
1X1024 texture map
I still have some other little things to finish up for Capstone. Need to finish my normal mapping research. I redid the UV map for the Hydral, and I’ll be doing a quick high res version to make the normal map from tonight probably. Will only spend a couple hours on it, and then will just try a few ways to actually make the normal map. You’ll probably see how that comes out tomorrow, as I’ll post my results.
After all that, and some residual forms, Capstone is done! After taking a few days to rest up, catch up on some video games, and figuring out my work schedule, I’ll be picking up my Scissor Sisters project again. Expects posts on that in the future.
