Or maybe it is... I can't really tell what's inside but it's white and castle shaped, so White Castle it is:
What have you learned about 3D Modeling?
Everything I know at the moment is very basic stuff, but it is all new. Everything you see in the castle pictures is everything I have learned to date. Making ripples and shapes and fitting them together.
What has been your biggest challenge in 3D?
Learning 3D in general. It's new and I sometimes have problems with that, but I'm used to it and I like it a lot now that I'm passed the basics.
What would you do differently if you were to do your castle model over again?
I would probably make the land connecting to the bridge smoother, I think it's too lumpy. Hills are okay, but it's just too much in that area. I probably would have done the mountains differently, I would have stretched them out more.
Was your research sketch helpful?
Yes, I tried to base my castle mostly on the image and changed small things here and there.
My thoughts:
I'm liking 3DS, I like being able to model my imagination into a 3D image. I feel that I have a lot of potential when it comes to learning this program, and I plan to use it in the future in projects my friends and I make. Kyle will definitely want some stuff modeled for his games and movies and I will want to do some modeling for my own films. I just want to make sure I can do it well enough before I add it into my films because bad CGI can really ruin a good movie... like James Cameron's upcoming movie 'Avatar'. It is largely composed of CGI and from the trailer I think it looks terrible. Hopefully it isn't the final render. I know Speed Racer had unfinished CGI in it's trailer.
Now I'm just rambling.
Goodbye.
Thank you! I knew I wasn't the only person who thought the Avatar CGI looked bad and unfinished, I am being told most of its from early comps, I hope so, that ones mech's weapon is clipping into its arm.
