Update on my Progress Part 2

So I was speaking to some of my friends about how their blogs were going and some had not started yet but most had and we talked about what we are and sdhould be putting into them. And so it seems I have been doing this rather wrong. rather than writing everything I have been doing in detail. I should be just breifly go over what I did for the week, and then talk about my fails and how I over came them (if I ever did that is.)

so yeah this 2nd half of a big update will be a bit different from the last one.


Well for the past few weeks I have been not only working on my model Four (the character repersents time - 4D) for my group film but, also Three (repersents 3D.) Unlike Four Three's mesh is a bit more complex as shperes go at least. With the aid of concept designs I can upload the designs to each plane in Maya (front,side[left &right],top, back, and bottom) using the concepts as refences in creating Three this made my life alot easier as. Also unlike Four, Three had to be started off as a polygon cube rather than a sphere. It sounds weried I know to make a sphere out of a cube rather than a polygon sphere, but nore complex creations in Maya start off as polygon cubes as they have less egdes, verts and faces. so the less is more appoch is taken here.

The goal for Three is to build him with as few polygons as possible but still retaining a believeable figure. Modeling 3 so far hasn't been a chore but I can only dread when something goes wrong. Maya is being too kind to me at the moment....I am worried about that Maya is never kind to anyone.

really for me now to do is finish three off, if I get the time to texture him I will but I think I may not be able too. I am sure there will be anyone easier way to add some form of colour/texture onto Three, only time will tell....well and research for now here are some screenshot for you to google over.

P.S oh before I go I think I might have a video of four and three rotating for you to see what they look like in a 3D space.
