Project Due: May 21 at 11:59PM

Well, its come to this...our final project. We have come a long way in 14 weeks and we still have a little bit more to accomplish before we can wrap-up this course. The Final Project in this class is designed to be a culminating experience. You will apply everything you have learned in this course to your final project. It is worth a significant portion of your grade, so please spend the necessary time to complete the project and turn-in something you are proud to show. This is an excellent opportunity to produce a high quality model and render that you can display in your portfolio. Take advantage of this opportunity, it doesn't come very often.

For the Final Project in this class you will be modeling, texturing and rendering an object of your choosing. Take some time and explore some objects that excite you and that you would be interested in creating. You are free to build any object you want, but please match the scope of your project with the production schedule. You are only going to have a few weeks to work on this project, so don't choose an object that will require more production time than you have available to you.

Once you have zeroed in on an object that you want to build, find a few reference items that accurately describe the overall shape of the object. Blueprints are always produce accurate results, so try to find a few line drawings that you can use as, both, visual reference and as backdrop items in Modo. In addition, your reference images are going to help you understand the material characteristics of your object. Remember, you are going to model, texture and render this object, so you are going to need to understand what materials this object is going to need when it comes time to render the final images.

This project is designed to produce a series of excellent portfolios renders, so we are going to be illustrating this object from a number of different angles. Instead of producing just a single render, you are going to be generating a series of three renders that showcases your final project for three unique perspectives. It is important, for your portfolio, that you communicate to your audience the totality of your design and dimensionality of your model. This is 3D art, by the way, so you need to communicate the depth and dimensions of your project to your audience.
