Classic Car Progress 2 I am modeling the Mercedes-Benz 300SL. I have made it past the blockout stage and have now entered the section where I model finer details into the body of the car. A large part of the modeling that needed to be done for my car specifically was massaging points to ensure that the model would smooth correctly. The 300SL comes from an era of cars where they tended to have completely smooth curves and little to no hard edges, which means that the placement of edge flow and the vertices on the model need to be consistently checked on to make sure that there are no lighting issues when I smooth the model. Even with that in mind, I still have some lighting issues where highlights are not continuous across the model, so it is something I am hoping to get feedback on during class. I modeled the front grille, headlights, and rear lights. Additionally, I managed to model the front and rear bumpers. The bumpers were very straightforward, as I could simply b...
Blog Post 2 - In Progress LEGO Assignment This is an in-progress report on my work for the LEGO Car Assignment. At the moment, I have a total of 12 LEGO pieces modeled, and I am currently working on the 13th. So far, the progress for the assignment has been fairly smooth. The project expands on topics that we have already been working on within class and for previous assignments, so there is not a lot that I am struggling to figure out at this point. However, I know this will change because I have yet to deal with the LEGO piece that acts as the axle for the car. The regular pieces, such as the 1x1, 2x1, 3x2, and 4x2, were very straightforward. Once I had the base 1x1 modeled based on the reference provided for the assignment, the other pieces were essentially modular and could be mirrored and duplicated from the base 1x1. The challenge only began once I needed to create pieces with unique geometry that deviated from the typical format of LEGO bricks. The “Grab” 2x1 brick was cr...
