Hardcore Modeling Challenge: Big Ben - Clock Detail

[Noggy]

Wow for only 2 hours! The grating looks perfect....if you don't mind me asking how did you do that? I know I am going to have alot of difficulty with that part.

Noggy:
Well i made a imageplane with some photo reference, so getting the proportions right was quite easy after that

Here's another update: +/- another 4 hours

Looking great. :thumbsup: Tell me, did you model the gothic lettering completely by hand, or did you
use a font?

[Phade01]

Hey thanks for all the reply's everyone!

Dominikmk:

JustChrisThe instcription is completely made with extruded splines

I mirrored it, so the clock on the left may look strange

Hey thats cool.. lighting is great

[bjorn77]

Congrats Eric! If you put so much effort in your school-work, you would be a straight-A student, keep in mind we will use blender in semester 6 *wink* (extra handicap so I would not lose face if you out-model you teacher hehehe).

But seriously, very nice, I’m proud o'ya....

grts,
