Creating Model 3

An earlier version of this model, a helicopter was modeled, however, after finding some blueprints for a Harrier aircraft, this could have a more interesting effect to the final outcome.

The first attempt at the harrier was unsuccessful. This is because when extruding the wings and the rest of the aircraft, there was not enough thought given to the later stages of the model. The missiles were incorporated into the wings rather than extruding them later from the wings, which made it difficult to effectively edit.

Instead, a second attempt has been made to make it resemble an aircraft more efficiently. Furthermore, on this model the symmetry technique on the modifier list has been used. This means that detail can be added to one side without needing to worry about it being symmetrical on the other.

The next step for this model is to begin adding the missiles. Once the main bulk of the model has been created, the smaller details can be added.

This is an image of the harrier before materials have been added to it. The symmetry technique has been used in this model along with the extrude tool to add parts to the harrier.

The finished model now includes missiles and camouflage.

The symmetry tool has been very useful and effective as it ensures that the model is created symmetrically. Although this is very obvious however, this technique was not used in the first model; the car, and the final result compared to this model is very obvious.

To create the material for the harrier, 'swirl' was used, this meant that when rendered in different view perspectives, different shades of the swirl can be observed. This was very effective in creating a camouflage effect for the plane. To create a different material for the windows and the back part of the engine, the 'Paint Selection Region' was used. This acted similar to a paintbrush, this tool allows faces of the main object to be selected so that a multi-sub object could be created. This meant that the black could be added to the window and engine whilst having the camouflage material could be added to the rest of the object. This added to the objects validity, thus adding to the representation of how a harrier aircraft should look like.

This model was not actually feature in "You Only Live Twice", however to show a more varied collection of models, a harrier aircraft was created. The scene that will be made is car chase between Bond with the car in the villains behind in their car. Instead of creating two cars which would use very similar techniques to create and not showing a variety of skill and technique. The scene will be changed slightly, the car with Bond will try and escape this enemy Harrier. Therefore, three very different models have been created. It is not exactly to the film scenes of James Bond however, the theme of James Bond will be incorporated. This will be accomplished by the music and the trailer will be filled with action like a James Bond trailer.
