CAGD 373 - Sprint 3

  CAGD 373 - Sprint 3

Full Spire Models Put Together

This sprint I worked on the central spire which consisted of a few different parts. Every object in these models initially started off as a cylinder as that was the easiest, most similar shape to go off of. Thanks to Preston's grey-box, I was able to get a good reference for scale when making them. The first part I worked on was the Spire Base.

Spire Base

The base consists of one main central platform and three smaller cylindrical parts below it. The smaller part could be duplicated. The main platform required a lot of beveling and additional cuts to create the diamonds and other indents. There are a more bevels than in the original game to give it a smoother look. The next part I worked on was the midsection and tower.

Spire Midsection and Tower

While not visible in the screenshot, there is an underside to the model which has numerous indents and steady progression towards the central orb. The top contains diamonds that were modeled separately from the main part and intersected into the main model. Originally, the midsection and tower were listed separately, but they share similar edges which made it easier to make them one object. The next part I modeled was the topper.

Spire Topper

The topper was the most simple part to model as there was no big change in direction as seen with the previous parts. Some of the UVs are pretty crazy, so I may have to go back to further cut those down.

I also worked on the other part of the garage floor that connects to the main island. Last sprint I modeled the main floor for the garage and finished the other section this sprint.
