Flying Saucer from "Destroy All Humans!" (2022)

This was the final project I completed in my third semester of 3D art classes at FIEA. It is a recreation of an existing game object - the Flying Saucer from the "Destroy All Humans!" games. Particularly, the design was particularly inspired by the version of the saucer featured in the recent remake of the first game. The model comes in two pieces - the dome is a separate model from the rest of the saucer to apply the glass material correctly. Altogether, the whole prop is 11.5K triangles. For a week by week exploration of how the model came together, from the first proxies to the final presentation, visit the following posts on my student blog:
