Now for the fun of cleaning up the topology and prepping it for texturing.

Blockout is almost done. Going live soon, might do a quick pose for the mech and see what else is missing. If you have any questions regarding 3d modeling in general, always happy to help - come say hi in chat 😀 www.twitch.tv/elden_owl [ #twitch #livestream #3dmodeling #3d #hardsurface ]

Sentinel Day 53 Started sculpting some of the softer areas. Really nice to jump back into zbrush after not touching it since this project began. Had to shake off the rust, and reacquaint myself with it. I really enjoy this portion.

Sentinel Day 52 Bit finicky to get right. But highpoly is done. I think that wraps up the interior. Might need a seatbelt.

I made this years ago when I felt like concepting something myself. Idea was to make an orbital defence satellite with a railgun. Stumbled upon it in my WIP projects folder. I'm by no means a concept artist but it was a lot of fun, any feedback is appreciated 🙂 #spaceshiptember #shiptember #3dart

Sentinel Day 50 I remade the center console today, and did some general cleanup. I'd like to make some switches/buttons to add to it still. Day 50 is quite a milestone for me! I'm closer to the end than the start I'd say.

Sentinel Day 49 Doors are finally feeling a bit better, they have door handles and switches and some interesting shapes. A few more tweaks to do tomorrow, But I'm fairly happy with the improvement over the previous iteration. Might be time to detail up the center console.

Sentinel Day 48 Been working on the door panel, feeling a bit burnt out the last few days, so working on it has been a challenge. But I'm still opening it everyday, and try to get something done. I've been doing little drawings over the existing door to try things out. But nothing that sticks.

James @jamesthe3dartist.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Sentinel Day 47 Sealed the last of the gaps in the model, so I can safely safe the first pass is done. Only a few hours today. Still lots to do but it's progress is progress.

James @jamesthe3dartist.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Sentinel Day 46 Filling out the dash a bit more. It's coming together nicely I think. There's definitely a lot to tweak and adjust still but the shape is what I wanted.

Here's an interesting diagram for how couches go together. Could be a good reference for artists!

Sentinel Day 43 Not the most productive work session, But still got a little bit done. (consistency is key right?) Worked mainly on connecting the exterior to the interior, finishing up the floor, adjusting backseats, the interior of the roof, and around the dash and pillars.

Sentinel Day 41 Chair is coming along nicely, Slowly but surely! I think I've got to tweak the design a bit, I'll continue to iterate.

Sentinel Day 39 Going to call the underside done, with all the wires and cables hooked up nicely. Went around and made sure I've had all my naming conventions correct. and a bunch of tweaks to different pieces.

James @jamesthe3dartist.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

Sentinel Day 38 Not much progress these last few days. But got an hour today Heres a quick shot of the wip of the rear hover assembly. Cables are going everywhere. Mostly happy with the layout, but have to clean it up a bit more. Also have to replace some of the old temp geo in the assembly itself

Day 37 I've got more cables placed. So rough gameplan for the next few days is to cable up the rear hover gear. and adjust some messy bits in the underside Do hovercars need side mirrors? probably should model that, and maybe some screen wipers. Then it's on to the interior, a fun challenge.

Lost in cables. While working on the sentinel project I've been in the back of my head thinking of what kind of scene I should do for it. (if I go that route) Without knowing better this could be a very rough blockout for a futuristic city scene.

James @jamesthe3dartist.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

Sentinel Day 36 Working on some of the cables, Here they are all together. Have a few changes to make still.

James @jamesthe3dartist.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

Sentinel Day 35. Not really much to show for today. I finished up the doors and did a pass on the underside, cleaning up topology and general issues. I also got most of the cable, and clamps kit unwrapped. Going to save myself a lot of headaches doing it now than at the end.

Sentinel Day 34 Modelling out door wells, and the inners of the door. Keeping it simple for now. Makes the model feel more solid at least, and gives me a starting point for the interior.

Some old Warcraft 3 fan art of mine of some mounted units. I am a little more critical now but back in the day it was fun to just have a mashup of all kinds of random fantasy setting creatures and stuff, I liked their creature design.

Old digitally colorized sketches of Warcraft 3 mounted units- An Orc raider riding a dire-wolf, a Troll batrider riding a giant bat, a Night Elf archer riding a Hippogryph (in Warcraft's version, a raven/stag combo), a Blood Elf riding a dragonhawk, and a Night Elf huntress riding a 'nightsaber panther.'

Sentinel Day 32 Just a little update today. Worked on the hood, and front bumper. just making things nice and smooth. Going to remake the front window tomorrow if time permits. If nothing else I've learned a great deal working on this project.

Sentinel Day 31 The front fender has been needing some love. I've made it a bit less bulbous, and taper towards the front. Needless to say, I've been doing a lot of rotating around the object. I've included a before photo as the last image.

Sentinel Day 30 Had a very rough week at work and I've not been able to do as much work as I'd like. But I spent some time working on some topology challenges with my mesh and reflections not quite working the way they should. It's better than it was, but still some areas that need to be addressed

Here is how I did the stained glass on the lamp (watching a video on how the physical lamps are made helped a lot). Found online shops selling glass, took a few screenshots to make my "virtual" Tiffany glass sheets. Used those in SP to paint on top of my mesh 🙂 [ #3dart #texturing ]

Sentinel Day 29 I've been experimenting with @artofsoulburn.bsky.social Wire maker script for max which is awesome I created a bundle with my kit, and used the script for placement. Really helps speed up with process of laying splines My mistakes so far, having the end caps attached to the bundle
