Gundam Strike Freedom

Hello everyone,

I'm excited to share my latest project with you: Gundam Strike Freedom. In this endeavor, I have combined my two passions—anime and CGI—to envision what Gundam would look like if brought to life in a movie.

It wasn't always easy, and I faced challenges along the way. There were moments when I felt down and lost motivation and inspiration. Despite these setbacks, I kept pushing forward. 

The whole journey began when I watched the Gundam anime while searching for ideas for my next project. I'm really passionate about hard surface modeling and thought this project would be complex enough to challenge my skills and patience. That's how it all started, and I decided to create a reference board to guide my work.

I was initially hesitant in choosing the final design and frequently changed my mind. However, everything fell into place when I discovered the incredible work of the artist Sabart Gunpla, whose artworks deeply inspired me.

Modeling certainly demanded a significant amount of time since the entire object is composed of numerous intricate details, and I wanted it to look really cool. I used various blueprints to ensure the proportions of the model were accurate, and I examined different angles of both 2D and 3D figures to fully understand the components of the model.

Even though modeling took a lot of time, the most challenging part for me was texturing and look development. Achieving lifelike results is something every artist strives for, and it was no different for me.

To wrap up, making Gundam Strike Freedom has been a satisfying ride, blending my love for anime and CGI. Despite facing challenges and some uncertain times, my dedication and passion kept me going. Working on this project has been a rewarding experience, and I'm happy to share the results with you all. Thanks for being part of this journey with me.
