3D MODELLING - Assignment 2 

HARD SURFACE MODELING

 

 

Title and Project Description

         Title                                         :    3D Sci-fi Prop or Machine Design

        Project Description          :   This project aims to demonstrate the student's advanced modeling skills through the design and construction of a detailed hard surface 3D model. The student will generate a functional design idea and translate into a clean and well-structured  3D model using Autodesk Maya. Some of the examples of the sci-fi inspired prop or machine would be a blaster, scanner, pod, etc. 

Moodboard and References

I was interested in designing a sci-fi testing tube, where you would usually see a specimen or a test subject inside of it, on that note, I will only be designing the tube. I wanted to focus on the smaller details of the design and challenge myself on that part.

Reflection

The process of modelling the testing tube was as expected as usual, I used multiple different polygons for different parts as to make the UV mapping easier, however that is where the trouble came. One of the requirements for this assignment was to do the UV mapping on the said object, the process gave me a lot of trouble and said struggle can still be seen in the final product. This assignment set me on a stump and gave me multiple troubles, however in the end, I will still try and create more 3D models.
