Modeling a Toy

The task was to choose a Toy/Action figure and bring front, back and profile images to the lesson. Our teacher Pete would then judge whether it is applicable, so that the student is capable of modelling the toy.

Positives - I was actually having a lot of fun modelling Optimus prime, I was also happy that Pete allowed me to use the optimus prime toy, even though it seemed a little complicated to me. I chose Optimus Prime because I enjoyed the animated series when I was a child and feel a nostalgia for the image.

Issues - I spent the week modelling the same Optimus Prime, I hadn’t stopped to check if there might be an exam that required me to rebuild the model in just two hours. I found this out on the night before fridays lab lesson so I practiced overnight. I know that the model I created during the timed exam isn’t comparable to my first model, But it is accurate in many ways, I only wish that I had spent more time modeling the head accurately, then moved forward to the body last.

Above shows my first Model of Optimus Prime that I began in class.

Above is the Optimus I created in the space of two hours during my Exam. Here you can see my Optimus Prime that I have taken my time with, he is more accurate and overall symmetrical. I hope to spend more time on him, and maybe eventually rig and

texture.
