I will make use of cylindrical shapes using the box modelling method. I want a smooth, shiny, silver pocket watch. Broken Pocket Watch. (The final model I will be creating.I will want to create a basic looking short sword, with some rather unique properties to the metal on the sword). Archaeologist’s sword. (This sword will just be a unique weapon that would be used as an asset for the character, much like the shovel being a prop.The processes I want to be showing I have applied are the base mesh, sculpting detail, baking maps, texturing methods, exporting and assembling in Unity 5 with Standard Shader (PBR Material). I am choosing to do this for the purpose of creating a PBR, game ready model to meet the specifications on the module. Crumbled Obelisk (PBR Asset). (I will follow tutorials on creating and texturing rocks and produce a high quality realistic rock, in the formation of an ancient ruin or corroded statue, I will see where the creative process takes me.

I will make use of some good stencils here). Ancient Roman Coins. (Small height cylindrical object, made in Maya, taken to Mudbox to sculpt and mold into a flat coin to finally finish as a ‘pressed’ coin and taken into substance painter to paint and edited in Photoshop.This shovel would be seen in 3rd person behind the character strapped to their bag so I will want to keep it relatively low poly). A Shovel. (The Shovel will be made in 3DS Max using cylindrical shapes for the handle and shaft, I will hopefully learn new techniques to create the head of the shovel.The general theme for these idea’s will be ‘Archaeological Digs and Loot’.

I have detailed shortly what my thought process on creating each object will entail below as a brief mind map.

I wanted to focus on using objects with different types of materials and styles, of which I’ve never tried before. To begin I wanted to pick 5 objects I want to replicate in 3DS Max and other programs we used throughout the development of this module. Following the same layout to my other blogs, I will create each object on my lists in descending order, writing about each as a solo project to show my planning, thought process and understanding of the creation of my 3D Models I want to design. I will also be writing about what tutorials I have followed and will reference any images or links appropriately. Within this post will hold the research and planning into my 5 3D models.
