Me and Simon A split the modelling between us, I had to do 3 different tents and a big festival tent and some flags with wind. The first 2 tents where easy enough to get the basic outline using the reference images i was provided as orthegraphic views, but refining the shape took a little more time for me as i had been doing a design project for a while previously and had not touched maya for about a month due to this.

Once i had made the tents basic shape i added details to refine and smooth adding in ropes and pegs also and some air vents. I sent the tents to adam for feedback and he adivsed me how he wanted them to look different and i altered and added detail to suit his needs. The teepee i found particulary difficult as it was an odd shape, i had to fiddle with a lot of verticies to get there, but i did in the end get something that looked like a prity good teepee.
Next the fun part, nattt i had to learn how to uv unwrap, which i had briefly learnt in the first year on a elephant if i remember right. For the uv unwrapping this time i got a digital tutors video tutorial of a dinasour which was nice and easy for me to follow and i quickly started to pick it up again. Though i still found it difficult to figure what bits went where in places. I got simon to check everything just to make sure id unwrapped it all proper as he had more experience of it than me whichw as prity helpful. And finally i had to do some uv snapshots for the models which was easy enough once i found the button ahhhh.
