Week 4

It was within week 4 that I had occurred a problem within my model, I was advised to start again as trying to manually fix the error would take me some time and also I would have lost crucial detail within my model.

I then discovered it would be more time efficient to model from a side view perspective plane and then extrude half way across the width of the military vehicle, lastly mirror the geometry of the object and connect the two separate objects together using the merge vertices tool.

Whilst creating the side plane panel I decided to add the necessary detail as I go along as this would also save me time and considering that I had to make up for lost time this seemed the best option. These details included door windows and bevelled edges to add that extra curve. To help myself I decided split the side panel into 3 parts, the front bumper, front and back doors and the rear bumper. This was so I could help myself later when it came to unwrapping the model.

Once this was completed I switched views from side to top and by using the mirror geometry tool, I created I mirrored duplicate of the original side panel. All I then needed to do was combine the 2 separate objects together and merge the vertices together.
