The Vehicle project

And so I thought I should post a little about my vehicle project

I decided to do the Wallace and Gromit Motorbike and Sidecar from A Close Shave.

Here's a few shots of it untextured.
As you can see, parts of it look pretty flat, these were fixed after.


I then started playing around with texturing my bike. Instead of using alot of different texture maps I started playing with the glossiness and shine in the material editor. It wasn't until I set up all these things that it started to look a bit more like a bike.
I also have a reflect map on it.
Heather then told me the bike textures looks very bland and it looked realitively new so i decided to add dirt to the wheel guards and scratches to the front of the sidecar to make it look a little more worn.
Finally after I made it I began to destroy it. I turned the sidecar into the plane, broke the gun so it's leaking porridge into the seat area and took the wheels off. I also added numerous amounts of scratches, dents and broke the light.

By far this is the project I've most enjoyed so far.

Finally an update

I thought it might be best to update this blog since I haven't updated since last year.

Thought I'd post a quick speedpaint I did a while ago when I was still hung up over the church idea for my final major project. I was trying to focus mainly on the highlights and the colours used within the picture.
