For this module I was tasked with creating a AAA Asset or envrionment for a game. I decided to go with Halo as I grew up playing that game and I thought that creating a new spaceship idea for the game would be a good option. At first I was unsure how to get started but with some advice I took household objects and tried to draw ships out of them. At first it was all over the place but by the last object (Green Glow in dark Axe from Halloween) it seemed to work the best outcome.

The first 2 sketches were all over the place until I drew household objects and was able to work on the design as I had the base shape already thought of.

Once i chose my design I scanned the document and put into Photoshop where I drew the outline to take into Maya so I had a reference to follow aswell as it making it easy to get the ship started.

These are the progress shots of the Ship body and wings, at first it was taking a basic shape and after a meeting check up I was given advice on a few pointers, being the wings didnt have any aerodynamics and didnt fit the style of a single pilot fighter, as well as the cockpit being so close to the main engine. I then re-designed the wings and improved.

The next step was the weapons, I was unsure what style to go with so I created a weapon that could swivel around as well as a weapon that would only shoot forward, they had different designs to show the difference in the weapons.

Some of the UV was easier to get started, while some were breaking quite a lot. The 5th image took the longest as I had to make sure not to sew the edges together incorectly as it would wrap around itself and take a lot of corrections to get it to work.

These are some progress shots in Substance painter as well as the Alpha Stencil I used to create the UNSC logo for the ship.

After I was finished I baked the model and then took different perspective render shots of my final spaceship with the rendering section. Some of the hull scratches that I put on didnt come threw in some areas aswell as some of the color changes not being as smooth as I anticipated.
