Week 2

Now that I had bought my camera is was able to go around town and take some pictures for my texture library. I took some interesting shot from church doors to marble slabs. In the same week I also went on a University trip to visit tanks and other military vehicles on a farm site. It was here that I managed to gather a reasonable amount of reference images for me to choose and model a vehicle from.  

After looking through my pictures I decided to model the Land Rover Military Police vehicle as this was one of the vehicles that I took more pictures of and simply because of the polygon restriction. I didn’t want to choose a more detailed vehicle and struggle in getting the main detail in within the 8,000 polygon limit. So I opted to go for a less detailed model but make sure that I can add as much detail as possible within the 8,000 polygon limit. I then started to gather more references in the form of blueprints and images of the vehicle. It was now time for me to start to model my chose vehicles.
