Final Model

Around week 5 I began to finish my Forklift model just changing a few parts trying to improve it overall, working on my proportions and details when needed.

Now I prefer to use simple shapes and extrude off of them and slightly tweak parts using the vetices, I've noticed an improvement in myself as I now find myself doing stuff with realising it such as rebuilding faces which I did a fair bit of on this model. Although I think I should of tried to lower the tri count a little more.

Reference Gathering

On the 3rd week of this project myself and two friends went to a forklift company and took a lot of photos from all different angles etc... for example close ups, mid shots, long shots, three quatre view, front view and so on to get as much reference as possible.

Forklift

Within the first couple of weeks I decided I was going to create with a forklift as there are many of these around which would allow me to gain east references. Soon after deciding myself, James and Krzysztof phoned Bulwell Forklift Company to take photographs of one of their Forklifts.
