High Poly, Low Poly

Got more done today retopo-wise. Built the low poly drive shaft and finished up the engine, so was able to start rotating elements into their final positions. Front doesn't connect the way I want, since I've made so many visual adjustments, so I'll have to address that tomorrow. Have some detail elements to retopo (i.e. wrenches, interior radiator). But then I think I'm calling it done and am formally switching to UVs, texturing, beauty shots and onto the next project!

I'm happy with the low poly engine, which has been the more time consuming part of the retopo process this project. You'll see the high poly engine first, then the low poly one.

Hot Rod, still in the works!

Just wanted to post a quick update on the hot rod project since I haven't posted in awhile! I worked a bit on the high poly. Sculpted the fabric around the shifter, rotated some pieces more into their final position etc. 

More importantly, though, I've been spending a lot of time doing the retopo so that I can have a game-worthy vehicle! Building the low poly cab and engine has been time consuming, but fun. Once I'm finished with all that (should be soon) it's onto UVWs and texturing! I'm not sure why, but I've always kind of liked doing UVWs... I think it's easy to feel accomplished when you have a lovely layout.

Hot Rod Update

I've got a decent amount of work done on the hot rod over the past couple of days. Spent a lot of time making high poly details. A few things I've worked on specifically include the steering column, headlights, front suspension, decorative lights, windshield.

I'm thinking I'll leave off on more of the high poly stuff in order to start doing some retopo. Might take awhile. o_O
