I. Finding a design.
Posted on 29 August, 2016 in MDU115
When searching for a model to be my asset production, I wanted something quite simple as I’m still very new to 3D Modelling. I originally wanted to do Gandalf the White’s staff, but it’s a very long model, which isn’t too good for the texturing process as there’d be a large seam.

I decided to take on one of my favourite games weapons, the wrench off of Ratchet and Clank…. but there are so many.

It was hard deciding which one, but i eventually went for the more basic model. I chose this design because it seemed simplistic but still challenging, it held a lot of room for cool texturing and effects.

Once I picked my design I went hunting for a 3D Model someone has already created so I could see their wireframe and what sort of primitive shapes they used as the base model.

I found this really neat model on Yobi 3D,it gave me a solid knowledge of the structure I needed to create and how many poly’s were needed.
