Prelude- Door with/without handle

Next I moved on to the doors. 

This was rather tricky, with the slight curve they have in the middle. So far I think I have it right, but will have to see when I end up putting it all together. 

The handle was a bit difficult as well, but I did my best to line up the vertices on it with the ones on the door. 

I went ahead and made the door red, with the upper few rows of polygons black to represent the trim for the window section.

Prelude_Hood

So I began the modeling process with the screenshots, as I stated on the last post.

 Beginning with the hood, I used mainly the blueprints to get the general shape down, but then went in and did a slight bit of modifying the hood.

  I added a raised point in the center of the hood, near where the windshield is, to give it a slightly "beefier" look and feel.

Gaming & Animation Capstone Spring 2013

Here are the plans I have for Capstone this semester:
1) Build a car (Honda Prelude) in Maya, texture exterior and interior. Rig & animate. I'm going to try and keep it as low poly as I can, so that it could be used in a game or a short animation sequence and not lag too much memory.
2) Rework Mech model by updating textures and (maybe) rigging. Also, break apart Mech model and have pieces inserted into landscape in futuristic apocalypse setting.
3) Provide renders of caribou and bear models with fur.
4) Build landscape in Vue, insert animal models in landscape rendering with different angles and staging.
