Modelling Tent (Campsite 3D Environment)

[Semester 3] Major Animation Project






I continued with my tent model that was first started in the second semester. The aim was to develop more detail, such as rear guy ropes, and a fabric door also to give the tent a shell extrusion. the fabric appearance of the door was difficult as I needed to put a curve on the door flaps to give it a soft appearance of fabric when it was open.

Also, it was the shell that became the most challenging part of modelling because of the topology. I had to do some background research for creating the shell, but the guidance only resulted in a collapse in the integrity of the model. Clearly, more advice was needed from Owen (Creative Technical Demonstrator) on how to achieve this. Perhaps this process with the 3D software should have been started earlier due to its technical nature.
