First model from the CORE - Mesh Modeling course! For the custom modifications, I "opened" the sci-fi crate. This was pretty tricky. It involved:
- Separating the mirror modifiers to x and y, and applying the y modifications
- Separating the top elements from the bottom elements and the latch from the belt
- Removing the back "latch" and filling in the belt
- Re-connecting the "top belt" with the "lower belt" so it had continuity
- Filling the insides (didn't do much detail here except an extra inset + extrude to keep the handle from clipping)
- Adding a small inset for where the latch would've attached when closed
Towards the end I realized the way I modeled the latch doesn't make a ton of sense (how does it close exactly?). But I'm happy with the result!
