Showreel Project – Week 2
Decided to step back a bit with the project this week and look at the finer details I wanted to convey in the model.
I’ve started a workbook. I guess it’s a way for me to brainstorm ideas and to figure out from where I want to take my influences from. Industrial machinery, household goods, [...]
