Week One -- Where to go from Here

 The Concept -- Gundam

I have always been fascinated by mechs in anime. The difficulty that comes from modeling one is the guess work going into placing parts occluded or unseen. Yet officially licensed models exist with proper parts and proportions. 

I intend to model the arms, torso, legs, and head of this mech. Ideally one part each week. With UV's and textures included. After this set is completed and assembled I'll modify the parts minimally for modular use. Then I will do the same to a different set under the same franchise. From there I want to construct a modular portfolio of sorts that will allow viewers to see each part construct a completed mech of their selection. Scope may cause an adjustment of goals. But in essence I want to model, UV, and texture at least 3 mech sets within the span of the semester.
