REPORT M3
INTRODUCTION
This week
was the assignment to model a vehicle that had a relation to project M2(
Environment).
The process
was to create concept art and then model the vehicle. One thing is to design
the vehicle on paper, but the modeling is something else, that takes a lot of
time and effort.
INTERPRETATION OF THE TASK
When I
began to model my vehicle, I had some small challenges that was important to
solve to get my model as I wanted it to be. I took some choices underway to
actually make the model more interesting and unique. My biggest issue was the
hard edge modeling. I was originally having a coupé on my vehicle, but after a
lot of failure, I decided to remove the coupé an replaced it with a rollcage
that is connected to the vehicle, and not a single object. I did this to make
it look more modern and streamlined.
CONCEPT
The concept
I created for this task, has a big relation to my environment. When I started
to brief different designs, I was thinking of making a vehicle that should go fast,
has extremely good aerodynamic, but also look neutral when it comes to sport
cars. I came up with a car that matches all of those points, with a totally new
wheel system. This wheel system works totally different than todays wheels, in
the way that the wheel base is connected to the car, instead of being a
separate object.
ACHIEVED ACTION
With the
final product, I want to convey that we humans have a long way to go with
concept vehicles and modern drivable objects. We produce modern cars and other
vehicles today, but there is still a lot that haven’t been thought of yet, which
could been amazing to make available to the earth.

RESEARCH AND WORK PROCESS
CREATIVE METHODS
When I made
my vehicle, I used a modern method that was very effective when it comes to the
main modeling. I started out with one polyplane, and extruded the edges to get
the shape exactly how I wanted it to be. The main thing that was important when
using this method, was to be aware of how many extrudes I did. I tried my best
to extrude the planes so that every extrude was there for a reason.
INSPIRATION METHODS
When I made
my design for this weekly assignment, I used a formula one car to come up with
my final design, and as my main inspiration. This car has a streamlined body
shape, is fast and have a nice design, which fitted my thoughts perfectly.
ANALYSIS
The issue I
was working on this week, was to design and model a vehicle that fitted my
design and thoughts, in the same way that I had to figure out a smart method to
have a stabile level of polygons.
DESIGN
TOPOLOGY/EDGE-FLOW/POLY-COUNT
As
mentioned earlier in the report, I used a different way to model my vehicle, by
extruding one polyplane and adjust the faces and vertexes. I achieved a good
edge-flow, topology and mesh by using this method, because I had control over
each part of the car all the way. I tried to use as small amount of polygons as
possible, to actually give every polygon a meaning.
COLOURS
This assignment
required clay material on the whole object.
COMPOSITION, LAYOUT
This
assignment required side, front and three-quarter view.
SELF- EVALUATION
REFLECTION ON FINAL PRODUCT
My opinion
on my final product is that I made my object as near my main idea as I could.
As I mentioned, the coupé was a big challenge to do, so this was replaced with
a modern roll cage that is actually built in the car frame to make it more
safe. I had some different small issues underway, but I solved them out by
asking our fantastic teacher David Beer. In this assignment, I didn’t have much
problems and challenges, but one thing was the wheels, which I struggled a
couple of hours with.
DEVELOPMENT AND PROCESS
When it
comes to the working process, I feel that I did my best in both ideas and the
final product. In half a year, I might make something that is more complicated,
but to start off with more complicated stuff on my level, does it even harder
to texture. I used all my time to research and create own ideas, to finally
come up with something that I thought was modern and looked like a concept
vehicle.
CONCLUSION
In this
period I have learned a lot when it comes to modeling and different methods to
do things. I also learned a lot by looking at digital tutors this week.
