DECLARATION! Second Project of Semester 3

  For the final project of the semester, I've chosen the SR-71 Blackbird. I wanted to pick something that exists in real life, but was still pretty cool and interesting to model. Since I did the Normandy last semester and really enjoyed that, I gravitated towards doing a ship again. Deferring to my father, essentially an expert on all things metallic that flies in the sky, I asked him to pick out a plane, and he chose his favorite one for me to work on. So for the next three weeks, I'll be working to replicate this pretty bird as closely as I can.

   Breakdown of the project will go like this --

• Week 1 - Low Poly block out
• Block out as much as I can, getting in the major forms and the rough form of what will ultimately be the low poly

• Week 2 - Finish Low Poly and High Poly
• Finish modeling the low poly, and export to ZBrush for details that will be baked and overall polish to edges. Push back to Maya to confirm low poly compatibility

• Week 3 - Texture and Final Renders
• Export to Substance Painter for bake, and texture. Export to Marmoset for final renders

Here is my reference board for the Blackbird

Gonna try and finish strong!
