3.0 PROJECT 1 — HARD SURFACE MODELLING
Instructions:
- Choose a hard surface object to model from any of these categories:
- Vehicle.
- Weapon.
- Robot.
- Machine.
- Get as many references (i.e. blueprints, images) for your selected object.
- Software: Blender.
- Requirements:
- The object must be assigned the appropriate material and texture.
- Render the final image with EEVEE / Cycles as the rendering machine.
- Output Size: 720p (1280 × 720).
- Format: PNG.

3.2 MODELLING

| Figure 3.2-3: Body & Legs, Week 8 (16/11/24) |
 |
| Figure 3.2-4: Arms, Week 8 (16/11/24) |
The arms look a little funny now, but this is to make assigning materials easier. They will be rotated later on.
3.3 COLOUR & MATERIALS
 |
| Figure 3.3-1: Materials — Worn Metal, Week 9 (18/11/24) |
This worn metal texture will be used on the majority of the robot.

Figure 3.3-3: Materials — Orange Metal, Week 9 (18/11/24)
*Sidenote: It looks very dark here because of the lighting |
 |
| Figure 3.3-4: Materials — Light Metal, Week 9 (18/11/24) |
I derived the dark metal, orange metal, and light metal textures by changing the base colour value of the worn metal texture. I also made the light metal a bit shinier. This is to give the robot some subtle variety.

 |
| Figure 3.3-7: Materials — Rubber Wheels, Week 9 (18/11/24) |
The rest of the materials were made by varying the Surface and Specular in the Materials panel.

3.4 LIGHTING & COMPOSITION
 |
| Figure 3.4-1: HDRI, Week 9 (18/11/24) |
I'm using EEVEE for the rendering machine and this
auto shop HDRI from Poly Haven to help with the lighting.

4.0 REFLECTION
Very time-consuming.😅 The process of making the materials was a pain but it brought the model's overall look together so I'm not too annoyed by that. Modelling the robot didn't take as long as I thought (despite how complicated it looked), as it was a matter of repeating and rearranging different elements.
Overall, I'm very satisfied with the outcome.💯
