This was a quick challenge for a folio submission. It was my opportunity to try some things for the first time, including creating a complex UV map, texturing (in Substance Painter), animating, and creating and compiling the video (in Davinci Resolve). It was also my first time modeling creatively and low poly.
I’m fairly happy with the model as a whole. The design was purposfully minimal, both to keep polys low, expedite the model, and to see if I can tell the story of the object to the viewer with as little polys as possible, finding other ques to develop the story. Such things as an unusual design indicating it may be futuristic tech, a strange aerodynamic shape suggests its a spaceship or some strange technology allowing for flight within atmosphere, large landing gear suggests it can rise vertically and not require a “running start/stop”, strange devices at the front, partnered with the “Research Vessel” suggests some kind of experiment aparatus. And so on… I hope that how it reads at least!
