PROJECT 1:Self-Critique


































  


                    





















I added minor details at the bottom such as the light for the controller number.
i had problems with the button at the back of the remote, i had to change the angle of my cuboid and adjust the vertices to make sure it looked as close as possible to the original remote as possible.

i do realise that the back of the remote looks odd, i have been trying my best to adjust that, but when i looked at the wireframe, everything seemed perfectly fine. so i left it as it is.
i also had problems with using the bevel, as i was not able to bevel my edges much even after changing the settings of the beveling. 

apart from that, i had problems with the shape of the front view of the controller. i could not make the corners of the front view look like the real controller.
i also had problems with boolean>difference. for some reason, when i tried to create the holes at the front and bottom of my controller, by using difference, the whole controller disappeared. I tried various times and i finally gave up. This explains why the bottom of my controller does not have the "hole" like in the original controller.

i added colour to my controller. Overall im happy with my end-product. i applied most of the techniques taught  during our past lessons. Although i had a really really hard time getting the basic shape of the controller, i am satisfied having spent so much time on it.  
i tried tracing the top part of the controller, however after placing it on top of my controller and extruding it, i realised that it was not going to be easy as i had to manually adjust each vertex individually, and it was going to be very time consuming, and complicated.
