I think I want to cry


Wow I think everyone has underestimated the level of work that needs to go into nelson. I’ve been working on him for about ten hours and I’m not even half way.

Every image on the net of Nelson looks different and is low resolution and also they only contain the top half of his body and the ones that do have him in full view are ones where he is not wearing his battle attire this is beginning to become very frustrating.

Everything involved is either organic or fabric which means every crease or fold has taken ages to create. That stupid hat for instance, though might look simple to the eye, took ridiculously long to mould. Unfortunately this is not one of those items like canons which can be created in minutes using blocks or cylinders and then disguised with a texture map. It will be time consuming and will be difficult to create and I ask you guys out their, when you look at the images please don’t just glance at it and say its good or bad, STOP and think about how you would create each individual piece and how long it would take YOU to do and if you figure out quick fix tricks let me no.

O ye before you ask, it should be finished by the deadline I just wanted to let you no that this is no easy task and well basically just wanted to have a little moan

Wow I feel better already.

Stay tuned for future miseries and more images involving the development of Nelson.

I appreciate that the model was not easy to do Ali , and I, as well as everybody else I hope, am more than greatful for all the work you have put in. When I asked in class last week if the model would be complete it was pureply to know. I really do think that the model is going to make this animation work.
