First block-out of the cart, tried to get somewhat close to the artwork.
My to do for this week:
- compare proportions and size to the reference (I think wheels may be a bit too small and handles a bit too long)
- model some variations for the planks and details similar to the treasure chest course
- add an iron band around the wheels??? (not in the artwork, but would give some material variation)
- add smaller details (nails)
- do a sculpting test on one plank
Today worked on getting a real reference for the correct proportions/size matching the artwork.
My approach was first to use my human reference (1.80 m) to guesstimate the position (if anyone has a pointer to a more exact/accurate method, let me know 🙂 ) and then match the proportions starting with a cube, sizing rotating and moving until it matched the reference in camera view. Result is this for now:
Next I checked with the help of @theluthier ‘s house blockout whether the position made sense in 3D, which ended not llooking too far off. I guess some final size adjustment will probably be needed once the final breakdown file is available, but at least the proportions should be close enough.
I think the first block-out is done, still need to model some variations for the planks and details (nails etc.).
Homework Submission – Week 1 – ACCESSORIES STANDALONE – cart
All right, thanks, @theluthier. Let’s make the submission official then – I also have some updates on the model, where I did some detailing (both to check whether I am matching the artistic style and to potentially guide me with sculpting next week). Not so sure about the metal details on the wheels, but wanted to try adding some other material than wood for a bit of variety and get feedback on that.
So feedback still welcome, alse maybe @duerer as our team lead might want to keep track as well.
So far lots of fun!
Some additional work, first I tried to reduce the vertex count on the low poly mesh a bit – thinnking that maybe the detail for the back of the car could be done by texturing, so I changed the planks to a single block of wood, but can change back once we know where exactly this will be used in the shot.
Then I did a first sculpting experiment/test, not happy with the result yet. I first did a sculpting with draw sharp, which looked ok, then I wanted to add more detail with a stencil texture, which didn’t turn out too well, so have to resesarch in either finding a better detail texture for the more stylized style or continue with normal brushes.
