Day 3 bled into day 4 so I still have another one to do today.  As it is for day 3 I made a couple of books, some parchment/scrolls, an inkwell, and a quill.  The highest poly mesh are the scrolls at at 474 faces, with the lowest being the books at 106 faces.

It has been a long time since I animated properly, and for a moment I was worried I had forgotten the basics.  I’m quite pleased with how this little pumpkin turned out!  This was also my first foray into pixel art and creating an sprite emoji.

Might as well start this blog out right with some practice designing daemon ladies! I found the pose reference for this at SenshiStock on Deviant Art.  @senshistock

Day 7 brings you pumpkins!  Can’t wait to get some normal maps on these, they look like beach balls right now heheheh.  Each pumpkin comes in at 780 faces, though that might change when I move on to part 2.

Day 6!  Made some Lanterns today!  Here we have 2 Styles of Lanterns with 2 options.  The Left of both styles is designed for a flame effect as the light source, and the ones on the right of both styles are designed to hold a lightbulb.  Lightbulbs are removable and each lantern has its own style of light bulb.  These are the most consistently highpoly of my models so far as they are designed to be held or interacted with by the character. From Left to Right you have 912 Faces 812 Faces, 998 with the Light bulb 672 faces 672 faces, 911 with the light bulb The light bulbs come in at  186 faces 239 faces

Day 5, made some Brooms!  The highest poly one is 731 faces and its the one on the right, the lowest is 320 on the left.  Might add more straw pieces on the outside when I get around to coloring them.

Day 4, a rocking chair.  Coming in at 746 face, this chair is gonna need some retopologizing when I come back around to it, but regardless here it is!

Made a Cauldron this time.  It needs some retopology before I begin texturing it, but I am still rather proud of it.  It is just over 900 faces/verts, so a bit bigger than my candlestick holders, but we will see what the final poly count for it ends up being after the retopo. I intend to do a different model each day for the next 10 days, well 9 now, and then switch gears to texturing them all.  By the end of the month I hope to have everything up on the Unity Asset Store. Wish me luck!  And if you have any suggestions on improving my modeling techniques I’d love to hear them!
