I spent more than 60+ hours probably on this... a lot of trial and error, but I've learned a lot. My render got a little messed up at the bottom, so please ignore the sphere and the shadow cutting in and out. I will probably go back to fix several of the polys and add more detail, plus re-render (of course). I plan to later rig this too and hopefully use it for something more awesome :)<br /><br />Special thanks to Grant for lighting my scene! <3Roberta Tamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06458958435633864727noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9111245305799706640.post-53249082786715069622009-12-10T16:20:00.000-08:002009-12-10T16:22:06.134-08:00Background and Layout<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq_mJXsEQZ9hgaS6arM9MqeN3ahJPh8184cXa0bM-p_25wz-g8yPq3I4HIPLDZCHZCqBHq2mOx038PB8hzo6qeoMJWvHjudBoKhJklSDFTrTj2XKLecqsnRjc7kUCuKCkyok-W3yy5jeQ/s1600-h/Nightscape+Snow.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 170px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq_mJXsEQZ9hgaS6arM9MqeN3ahJPh8184cXa0bM-p_25wz-g8yPq3I4HIPLDZCHZCqBHq2mOx038PB8hzo6qeoMJWvHjudBoKhJklSDFTrTj2XKLecqsnRjc7kUCuKCkyok-W3yy5jeQ/s400/Nightscape+Snow.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5413767192162304834" border="0" /></a><br />Woohoo!

We had to draw a building and background. Originally, I sort of wanted it to be a sort of aircraft carrier, but now I'm not quite sure what it is. Overall, it came out a lot better than I thought it would be, but I still need a lot of practice when drawing backgrounds. At least I have the rest of the quarter to improve :)<br /><br />Any critique would be much appreciated!Roberta Tamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06458958435633864727noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9111245305799706640.post-28065143983762450492009-10-13T09:13:00.000-07:002009-10-13T09:44:25.721-07:00Hard Surfaces: Fishy!This is our first project of the quarter for Hard Surfaces and Organic Modeling.

I'm working hard to get that painting technique down and slowly getting there I think. I wish I could have made the scene more interesting, but this is what the interior looked like. I'm thinking upping the contrast might make it really pop... might edit later!
