Hello again, everyone
First of all, I'd like to thank everyone who actively follows this blog after just one month of it being created. Getting all those E-Mails asking me where I've been and when I'm going to post something again sure is very motivating.
Now, that being said, I won't promise anything along the lines of posting once a week again, but I'll try to keep it up most of the time since we now started to get assignments at University. Assignments about making 3D-Assets, that is. I think I'll have an easier time keeping regular posts up that way.
Let's go straight to my practice then. This is what I modeled mostly out of my imagination with some references here and there:
Obviously, this is a fire hydrant. It has around 58,7 thousand polygons, thus being the highest-polycount-model I've done so far. And it's been a blast trying out different techniques.
The hardest part was definitely extruding those cylinders out of the base cylinder without using a boolean since those easily mess everything up. That part took me around an hour. After that it was just pretty much doing the same things I did with my earlier models, just being more careful this time so I don't mess up the flow of the edges around the mesh.
Total work time on this model: 5,5 hours with breaks here and there.
I could have done it way faster, but I paid extra attention to the top and the bottom parts. Additionally, it's pretty late here in Germany right now so I wasn't at the peak of my concentration at all.
I'm pretty happy with my model as it stands, there's probably a lot of room for improvements and if anyone has any critique, feel free to comment and/or E-Mail me about it.
On another note, I'll be in Amsterdam at a convention this coming week so the next post might be in a week and a half again. Just to inform everyone about that.
Alright, so that's this "week"'s post, I hope you enjoyed reading it. I sure enjoyed modeling the hydrant and writing this post, that's for certain!
That's it from me, then. See y'all later, take care!
