Sprint #1 Delivery

For this week I worked on building the proxy of the Great Katana/Odachi for Mark's character.

Worked on gathering reference, establishing scale and doing adjustments post critique. 

Everything is uploaded and present in UE5 currently.

Portfolio 1

This is the project I decided to replicate for the first project.

 For this project I gathered reference on the different pieces involved in making a walkman like object, especially because there are parts that will be able to be seen internally due to some of the textures having transparency. Additionally, I gathered reference for the various materials for the look I'm going for, which is pushing much more towards realism. 

A lot of the references were related to this one artist on artstation Jessica Marrubini. Been looking through their artstation and several posts have videos that you're able to go through and have different breakdowns.
