This is our third post detailing how designer Melissa Ng created the Dreamer Regalia Armor. Read previous posts to\u00a0learn more about this project\u00a0<\/a>and how she uses Blender for base modeling<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

After getting a base model down, it was time to take a step back from the computer and go back to some good old-fashioned hand sketching. Even for highly technical, geometric shapes there is something to be said about creating a design on paper. Melissa spent 25 hours in total<\/a> doodling and sketching the armor and armor pattern before adding it to the base model.<\/p>\n
