Prop-a-Day
Working on a portfolio is tough, I'm always motivated to model but I never know what it is I want to model! I decided that I'm going to bite the bullet, and model some props.. One prop every day (or close to it, I do have a life :P) for the next few weeks. I figure that I can post my day's events here, so everyone can… -
Re: Prop-a-Day
Thats a nice idea! I failed at prop-a-week so good luck! :P Also, if you keep modellnig props to a theme, your going to have a nice cohesive set of props that will wool even better on your portfolio! -
Re: Prop-a-Day
I might not approve of the idea. Modeling,unwraping,texturing AND polishing a single model each day is not only over-ambitious but leads me to believe that the output will be arounf 50-60% of what you could actually be capable of doing but wont be able to under this time constraint. Depends on the prop though, simple props… -
Re: Prop-a-Day
Off to a good start man. I agree with a lot of the comments above, especially with the ambition of trying to tackle one prop a day. Perhaps in the beginning doing some more simplistic props at first, but it is about the quality of the piece, and not how many you have (you're only as strong as your weakest piece). So as you… -
Re: Prop-a-Day
yeah I agree with the last four posts here. If you must time constrain yourself that much id at least give 2 days even for simple props...therefore you can finish it,post it up,sleep (while the polycount vultures tear it apart :) ) and then wake up and work on the crits comments. However yeah I don't agree with doing a… -
Re: Prop-a-Day
Here's a prop idea: tossed out beat up furniture, the kind of stuff you see left on the sidewalk for bulk trash collection. -
Re: Prop-a-Day
yea keep it up dude :) i did something similar to this when i first started modeling... and honestly it really helped me... but yea just make sure u apply what people have said in here to ur next prop -
Re: Prop-a-Day
Ok the post after my last one is right, one per day may be a bit rushed. I would give 2 days each minimum. My weapons thread for example, most of those were 2 day jobs. Similarly at work, when i did weapons and simple props, 2 days was also my average (unless i got endless tweak requests). Of course more complicated things… -
Re: Prop-a-Day
Day 3: As I said yesterday, Today is a two parter.. I actually think I'll take everybody's advice and do 1 prop every 2 days; one day for the high poly, and day two for texturing, with the lowpoly and UV mapping somewhere inbetween. Anyway, today I have a Butterfly Knife to show off. It's nothing too ornate, I just wanted… -
Re: Prop-a-Day
Thanks for the comments guys. In case I wasn't clear in my first post, I am doing this task for a few reasons. Most importantly is that I want to improve myself, specifically in the areas of hard surface modelling, sculpting, and texturing; aswell as working on my speed and discipline. I feel that modelling several…
