A3d blog 4

In this week of A3D I continued to work on my character model. To start off with I tried redoing the chest plate as I wasn’t happy with the way it turned out. I tried starting from scratch.

I thought it looked better. But I still wasn’t happy with it

I still tried working on it by pulling out the vertices to get the armour decorations, however it still didn’t turn out right. 

I still tried working on it by trying to shape it but I felt the damage was done.

I started again and I felt it was starting to look better by using a reference image as a template.

However even this starting to go wrong, when adding the decorations

I started to alter it and began to see what I think was improvement

I then decided to leave it for a while I start to work on another part namely the leg pads

I started working on baisc

I started to change to decorated chest piece as I felt it didn’t match the concept

I then started the shaped the feet in order to match the foot wear to the concept

Continuing I extruded the edges 

I began to connect the vertices together

Until I got the result you see here

I then went back to the chest piece

I then began to smooth parts out in order to see what they would look like later

Also I started working on the gauntlet decorations.

I continue adding in the small details

Such as

I also started to add more details to the chest plate

I also continued with the shoulder pad by widening it

Again I decide to redo the chest plate as I still wasn’t happy with it however this time I felt it was much better

Reflection

By doing this I can see that I am making slow progress however I feel it’s speeding up as I am getting better at it and I am learning a lot by doing the parts of the model that have gone wrong over and over again as they are getting better and it is a good practise.
