3D Model

Despite the design ideas for a music player character seen in earlier posts, I decided to model an actual iPod for the new video idea. I will be using an actual iPod in parts of the film, so to keep it consistent I will model an exact replica which will be the object that comes to life.
Below is an image of the Model I have designed using 'Lightwave' I have added all the textures to the model to make it look as close as possible to the original. I constructed the model using basic shapes like the box tool and simply curved the edges and then later added a screen which features a glass like texture as well as the scroll wheel.












Once I completed the construction of the model I used a morph mixer to allow certain parts of the model to bend and flex. This will be controlled within the scene editor when animating and allow me to make the object look like it is walking and jumping etc.
