3rd Journal Entry

This is my 3rd journal entry. Let's start with a new knife concept

The knife I modeled last time looked bland so I restart with a new concept of a hook kind of knife. It is not finished yet though. I plane for the blade and convert it to editable poly, and then add symmetry modifier after I modeled half of it. For the handle I use a box and did the same thing with the blade. There are some trials and errors but I think I got the parts right now.

For the next modeling I am modeling the M9 gun. It is pretty hard at first finding the reference image, and right now I am only able to model only, let's say 10% of it. here's of what it looks like,

I restarted modeling the head as well and I am trying to think of modeling the clothes.

Here's how my work consistency works. I am working on modeling the knife at home right now, and I am working on modeling the gun at school. It is really slow so I don't really know. Making a 3D animation from scratch alone is hard you know.

2nd Journal Entry

Hey, this is my second journal entry, bringing you the latest of my progress in this project.

Firstly, I think I finished modeling the head for my character. I converted a box into an editable poly, slice it in half, extrude and cut, and then symmetry. more info on modelling a head can be found right here:

They also give you a tutorial on how to model a body, but don't trust on it too much since it's pretty old.

here is how the head looks like,

It looks so weird! I'll make sure to make it better.
So for the main character, here is the old sketch I had of him.

His weapons are silenced auto-rifle and a scythe, because why not. He also use silenced M9 and a knife. I might be a little childish but hey, I don't really care about it.

I'm working on modeling his rifle right now. It's pretty hard since I don't have any good reference image for it.

This is pretty much what I've done there past few weeks. I'm supposed to do this weekly, but I can't really report anything if I don't have any progress to report, so sorry for that.
