Week 8 -Diorama

This week I began the blockout and fine tuning of my diorama. I decided to use a countryside field as inspiration as I can easily gather reference and it is a common sight to see Land Rovers in this kind of area.

In the above shot, the fence is too block like, unrealistic and linear. I changed it to make the planks thinner and I added interest by showing that the Land Rover had crashed through the fence on its journey.

Current To DO List:
Remodel - Bumpers and Headlights
Soften harsh edges
Re-UV
Bake tyres and AO etc
Look into decals (for military police signs)
Finish and UV diorama
And finally texture the model

Week 7 - UVing

This week I began the process of UV unwrapping my vehicle. I began with the smaller parts such as wing mirrors and then moved up to the bumpers. By getting all the smaller areas complete I can focus on teh car body without any worries.


This is my current UV layout. This is subject to change as I am trying to make sure all the UVs fit nicely whilst keeping a decent resolution.
