CAGD 495 Sprint Blog 3

3/5/26

In this sprint I was assigned some more 3D artwork. Just like the previous sprints I worked on creating some more models that could be used for our games background and could serve as pick up items in game as well. Along with that I was assigned to work on our game's 4th Car model which was very exciting and fun to do. Let's dive into how this sprint went for me. 

At the start of the sprint, I worked on finishing up the retro handheld console that I had started last sprint. While it seemed like it would be easy enough to wrap this card up, I actually spent some more time on it than I thought I would. The reason being is that when I was UV’ing the model it seemed to have areas where there might have been some bad stretching or distortion of some faces on the model, leading to some of the UV shells not being a 100 percent flat or unfolded. Due to this I had to go back and spend some time finding where on my model the issue was in order to fix it. As soon as I had fixed it, I could finally finish UV’ing it. 

After that I worked on creating 2 more assets that would go paired with the retro console model. One of them was a simple 2D sprite I would use for adding it to the screen of the console and the other was creating another 3D model of a game cartridge this time so that it could pair nicely with it. The 2D sprite was easy enough to make inside of photoshop while the cartridge also took me some time to finish it all the way through but in the end everything looked amazing.

After I finished all of that I worked on some more models for our game. All of these models were super fun to make, and I loved how they turned out. Below are the final renders of the models. Each of these models were quick and easy to do due to the fact that they are very low poly.

I also started to work on the car model for our game's 4th RC car. So far, I was able to create the body of the car as well as the wheels and the antenna. The next step would be for me to go ahead and UV it so that I can finally texture it and I honestly can't wait to see what it ends up looking like. The concept for this car was to go off of a Jeep wrangler, so I am very excited for this upcoming sprint to start.
