lots to talk about, some progress; about the setup I mentioned in the previous post, here is a texture decal render.




The concept is to have two or three planes orthogonal to their respective face on the object to model. In this way you can place reference images on the planes as a texture. You can then orbit around the object with the reference images and align them much easier.

On another note; the issue with importing and exporting seems to be coming along well...
these images are the imported obj mesh, this seems to be a good format for the export/import scenario. It seems to be a very common format ( I think it is a 'lightwave' obj). Regardless it seems to be common.


Aside from that, we have, at the top of the post, images of the base mesh (un-sub-dee'd). Five of them.

All and all coming along well...

more phone

another bit of update. :>


more work, got close to finished with the keypad.

vestibule

been working on this vestibule again, getting really clean renders. started working on the ceiling, on the wood planks, its a knotty pine. The key with the clean render seems to be the sampling contrast in the anti-aliasing settings- below .05 -.

minor updates

Here are some more progress pictures (render regions) of the mosquito head. It has some basics coloring and hair. The first is the subdivided model and the second is with no subdivisions for perusal.
