Mantis Toboggan MD

My result of following the mantis tutorial on blender cookie. I had a really hard time following the guy with how fast he talked, and he used many techniques and shortcuts I didn't know. I found myself pausing and rewinding the video every 30sec or so. I toughed it out and got a fairly decent mantis that only needs a few improvements, mainly dealing with the small details.

I can has banana?

An amazing banana display created after modeling, unwrapping, and texturing.

Unwrapping

After learning how to unwrap a mesh, we had to try doing it to a more complex shape. This shape still isn't too complicated, but it does have a hole in the middle that made it difficult. It was kind of confusing to do, but i muscled through it.

This seems fun

Learning how to manipulate arrays. It's definitely fun creating very complex designs with a rather small amount of work. I can see this getting pretty complicated, and possibly a little confusing, but I like it so far.

Part 2

I added material to my toaster, and decided it was kind of boring so I went back and struggled through the wiimote. It came out better than I thought it would, but I wish the buttons felt like they were inserted into the controller better. I still like it though!

Latest renders

Latest render for class. Choose something rather simple from my apartment that I can model. At first I was going to do a wiimote, it seemed simple enough. However, after a lot of time and problems I decided to do my toaster instead.

Screwdriver

First creation

A frog/creature type thing I created after playing with a cube for a while.
