No.4 - dragonfly

The fourth, and last, project (inventively refered to as No. 4) is made up 2 mini projects.

The ain of the is to build and texture a wind up/mechanical toy dragonfly and composite it into a live action plate. The minimum outcome is to have a still model on a still plate, the maximum outcome would be to have a fully animated model interacting with a human – the actual outcome will probably be somewhere between the two.

Some of the research sheets from the project planning -




The model sheet:


The current low poly model (which currently comes in at  a little over 60k) is pretty much modelled - it does need some cleaning up and maybe some more detailing, but I'll deal with this as I'm unwrapping it





One of the issues arising during modelling was how much mechanical detail to model and how much can be done in texture. After creating the seams I needed to add a fastener so I used this one as a reference.
