Final Post


Today I ended up fixing a few details on my house (ie. Elevated areas and changing the colour scheme).  I also created two new bunkers and shrunk the beachhead so that my defences weren’t as spread out.  




My final project ended up drifting off from which I had originally planned.  I actually didn’t end up using any tutorials and imported a lot fewer models than I had expected.  The only models I imported were a few windows and otherwise made everything from scratch.  In the beginning, I was very focused on creating the house, so I ended up spending most of my time on the house alone.  I think I ended up spending at least 6 classes working on it.  Henceforth, I became rushed towards the end of the project and didn’t put as much detail as I would have liked into my bunker, boats and other war material.   I ended up not putting any vehicles into my project due to the fact that I was concentrating more on the emplacement of my defences.  I would have imported some from the 3D warehouse, but some of the models were so large that it ended up taking a long time to save my final project.  I thought about using tutorials and looked at a few.  But I figured that I could get a lot more done on my project by working along the way and finding out how to do things myself.

The cliffs and trenches are complete

Today I worked on adding a cliff to my assignment.  I also added more bunkers and finished off making my trenches.  They are now complete and I've put my mortars in them.  I also decided to add more sandbags to my trenches to make them look more elevated in comparison to the house right beside them.

More defences



Today I started working on my trench and mortar.  Right now I'm trying to work on some sandbags (as evident on my trench).  Right now I'm trying to get the right form.  Sandbags are a bit difficult since they have a more fluid form.  You can also note my aerial view of the landing zone.  I have included a flotilla of Higgins boats and anti-tank defences.
