Battle Arena, Shield.

Battle Arena, Shield.

I created a shield in Maya for the arena. This was rather simple to model. Again i tryed to keep the tri count down throughout this model. 

The texture below is for the hand guard at the front. This was rather simple to texture as its just a circle. 

Once I had the textures sorted for the shield it was easy to chance what the Image would be on the front. I decided against the first design as I didnt think the block colour worked very well. I also wanted to try and keep the wooden theme on the front of the shield so I to lower the opacity and add the wooden texture behind so it would show through slightly. 

I then added the shield to my scene. I thought red on one side of the arena and blue on the other side would be good. So red is the colour of one team and blues the colour of the other team.
