Phaser (completed)

Today I finally finished the Phaser. It came out looking really good, but Mr. Cornell wanted me to change the background. So I have three images:

1. Phaser, black background, Galileo's Tomb HDRI:

The Phaser with a generic black background showcasing the HDRI reflections and 3 point lighting.

2. Phaser, Galileo's Tomb Background/HDRI:

Now I turned the HDRI background on, to really show that the object is reflecting the environment. Also helps to see the outline better.

3. Phaser, Photoshopped onto a background:

I Photoshopped the Phaser onto a background I made in the Computer Graphics w/ Digital Media class that I took in my freshman year. I moved the Phaser a bit to line up the highlight of the model with the light source in the image. It lined up almost, if not perfectly.


EDIT: and since I was bored, here's a .gif of the Phaser firing (there was originally a pause between shots, but I accidentally deleted that frame and I didn't save.)

I finished all the animation projects (I don't know how Mr. Cornell wants to grade them) so I continued work on the phaser. Here's its progress so far:

Continued work on the phaser today. It was really annoying because 3DBuzz kept lagging for half the period.

Phaser Progress 2

I continued work on the phaser today. It's looking pretty good so far. Aside from a mishap with a cube, which was corrected, there are no errors so far. Here's how it looks:

I started work on the Star Trek Phaser today. I am making what I assume is a magazine for the weapon. Here's what I've done so far:
