3D time

Hello! As promised today's post is all about my progress on my rainforest plane crash project.

I started with the aircraft because I thought it would be the most challenging part to model but it turned out to be fairly straight forward and quite enjoyable to make.

Then I moved onto the interior, I started working on the cockpit making all the flight control panels but my poly count was quickly raising and I still had to do the passenger seats and luggage so I decided that it wasn't that important and so I moved on.

At this point I thought that my broken plane would count as a vehicle with a maximum budget of 5000 so I was happy making the seats but then I was told that because it's only a half a vehicle it's not considered one and that it becomes part of the environment.

It was going so well...

After I copied and placed all the seats I found out that my triangle count was close to 8000 and my limit was 10000. I only had done the plane! And I still had a whole rainforest to do!

I eliminated as much geometry as I could and ended up losing about 2000 triangles which was amazing. I still feel a little bit anxious that I might exceed the maximum triangle budget but I accept the challenge!


See you soon,

Carla.
