How do you attack this project?
Well, I know most people don't put things on here to be critiqued until the object is about 80% complete, but I am trying something different.
In and effort to wean myself off of tutorials, and maybe figure out where my gaps are (thus what tutorials I need) I am embarking on an over-ambitious plan to animate a scene of a deep sea sub discovering a shipwreck.
I chose the Johson Sea Link as my prototype sub (From Harbor Branch Oceanagraphic) because it was the only sub I could find with extensive photos and material including some technical diagrams, and it is a unique sub.
So for you guys that model this sort of thing, how do you start? I'm posting my start... rough box modeling. But as you look at the plastic model, what task do envision modeling this? Weighted subdivision, box modeling, or what? I'm asking you; throw me a bone... as many as you like.
My goal is to model it so that it can be completely animated, arm and all.
I really want to make this one work.
BTW My colors are more like the real thing... the model is a bit off.
