Door Write-up

 Door Project

Over the past weeks I have learnt how to use different softwares to help me with my door project.

I have definitley gained confidence in using blender and i'm now able to use basic tools and modifications to create 3D models.

Out of the themes of doors I had in mind, I chose to make a sci-fi door. This is because when playing games, I always like any sci fi looking door as I think they are unique and most have them have  cool way of opening that is different from other doors.

For this project, the first thing I did was research sci fi door and got different designs for inspiration. For my final choice, I merged some of the ideas of doors I had seen and also added added my own creations.

I then drew 4 initial ideas using a wacom tablet, this was my first time using a digital tablet and took a while for me to get used to since its not like your normal paper and pencil.

Here is what I came up with:

  

I then started to actually build my door in blender:

The next stage was the unwrapping and texturing of the door.

Personally this was the hardest part for me and I spent a lot of time doing it. This is something i would like to improve on so in the future i can unwrap models more efficiently/faster.

Now that i am more comfortable with the different softwares, i think my next project will be a little easier as i will know what im doing and now have a better understanding of thing, especially tools in blender.

What i like about my door is the small detailing, e.g the keypad because i think the little things like that just make it look a lot better.
