Theme: Robot 

Limitation: Must include "dark"

  

 

I've been meaning to start with Blender for a while now and figured why not now with this modelling jam. 

 

About my process

 

Although I had very limited time during the week of the jam, I was excited to complete my first Blender project. As a complete beginner that had both time and skill limitations, I wasn’t sure about what to create. I wanted something that I would like the creating process off, something that fit the jam’s theme and be achievable for me having just started out in Blender.

After practicing with my first ideas, I wanted to make a model that was a bit bigger, yet not too complicated for me to complete the whole process off within the hours I had available. Eventually I came up with the idea for the rendered model above.

I've learned about all sorts of Blender tools and features during modeling, rigging, creating the UV map, painting my model and making the final render. 

Turns out, creating the UV map is definitely my least favorite part-
On the other hand, rigging wasn't as bad as I thought!

All things considered, I'm happy to have participated in the jam and have learned a lot while doing so :)
