Blog post #8

I haven't done much since the last blog post I wrote. I got some more time on the fiddle and hand model, but I am simultaneously beginning to start texture reference.

The fiddle model is really putting me to work. Again, I am just struggling with going in circles while I model. Trying something for hours and then having to delete and start over. I suppose this is just part of the process; However, it feels a little embarrassing to be taking so long. I am also finding that I am struggling with balancing other projects for school. So many important things to do, but so little time. And it isn't like I do not put in the work; I work for hours and then restart in a different direction.

My group is being so kind and supportive of me and what I have going on, so I really appreciate that. Even though the fiddle is taking so long, I am starting to feel proud of the work that I have done. My goal is to have the model completed in time for the 3rd production pass.

Anyways, here are some progress pictures.

I have yet to start on the hand, but it will be fairly fast because I am using the arm geo that was already modeled and just editing it.

I am so ready to start texturing and already have a bunch of ideas in mind. I plan to begin the texturing process over summer when I have the free time.

The film is coming out so good so far and I am eager to begin the next stage of production!
