Project Update - Props

Today has been a very productive day. I have started using a new 'production line' method for my props.

Reference -> 3d model wireframe -> 2d texture -> UVW texture application -> complete model
(this is my old method and in my opinion took too long to output a single model)

Reference -> 3d model wireframe x5-10 "THEN" texture application to all models at once and one mass compilation
(this is my new cluster method)

Using my new method I can shave off hours off my prop making process and in the process get a better preview of the final product.
This is hard to explain but the most important thing is that it works!

I still have the focus on making the kitchen and all the props in it, its a mammoth project but It is coming along very nicely.

Todays jobs:
  • Picture frames
  • bowls
  • oven + other appliances (draft wireframes)
  • [non-model textures]
  • ... yet to progress on hammer editor mapping but that is only needed as props get made
I currently don't have any pictures im ready to release but there should be quite a few in the next week or so as things take shape.
