The AH-1Q Cobra 3D Model. Completed as a project for Modeling Foundations in Digital Media Arts College. The assignment was to model any vehicle of our choice. I’m currently developing a video game, so I tried to pick something difficult that I can use in my game. The AH-1 stood out amongst others in that respect.
The concept was built out from to some blueprint, I used them to plan the texture and overall look of the model. Then collected real-world references to start modeling out from the blueprints.
Most of the main body pieces were made from a single object, to conserve poly coint for my game, and to make the normal map transfer a little easier to accomplish
Thanks for viewing everyone. More to come!
