CAGD 330 Sci-Fi Crate Development Week 2

CAGD 330 Sci-Fi Crate Development 
Week 2
2/19/18

This week I focused on bringing all separate components of the box model at the time to a decent level of quality.  The side panels are each shaping up well, mainly remaining flat aside from a few extrusions.  The individual modules that fit inside and out of the crate are so far coming along well, not presenting many problems as far as holding their shape with beveling and fencing.  No big trouble thus far, aside from having to decide what method is best for forming the geometry between primitive and subdivision states.  The biggest issue so far is keeping proper measurements throughout every individual part, so that they fit together correctly later on.  Mirroring the finished quarters or halves of certain parts has worked out fairly well, and has certainly been a help to this process overall.


These will be the inner panels for three sides.  The left will go on opposing ends left and right, while the right will be used as the bottom panel.

These are the base models that were mirrored into the previous pictured panels.  The two halves of a button to the left will be integrated onto corresponding ends of each panel as further texturing.


These inner modules will be combined in mesh and bridges outward to fill the corresponding frame.  Beveling process is being undergone at the moment, and finalization will be necessary before the proposed combination and bridging.


This vent face will be used as the top panel.  Fairly simple beveling and mirroring, but there is room for improvement later on.  If more details come along, this shape is open to change.


These are the main outer frames that will be used for almost every side of the box.  These will soon be duplicated and combined with the corresponding inner panel; then they will be stitched together to give this crate and actual cubic shape.

I want to keep all the components separate just a little longer to allow for any last minute tweaks that could be dealt with easier as they are now.  The next step is formatting everything into an actual cube box form.
