So, here we are with my first ever Project-a-Week post. I plan on doing one project a week (give or take) for the foreseeable future in order to both fill in my portfolio and to give me something to keep my skills sharp. The subject of the project will be ever changing (although they will likely all focus on a few long term projects I have going), but they will all be complete projects, from modeling (or sculpting) up to rigging (when it makes sense). Its a tall order, but it seems a great way to get ready for a real job.
With no further ado, I give you my first project: a katana. Yea, not much, but to sweeten the pot, I’m also making this one a tutorial so you can follow along! This is where I am at the moment:
From here I move on to UVs (which are not really exciting) to scultping (to create a normal map) and finally I put them all together. Keep posted!
