Explorer's Flag - A better model
I had planned to design my own 3d model of the flag using Blender, but while the tool looks amazing, it would have slowed down the project too much. Instead I turned to Upwork for help and instead focused my efforts in learning how to work with the object in ARKit.
You can see that the model is coming along well in the gallery below and even try it yourself if you are on an iPhone.
The .usdz format is a zip file containing a 3d Model and a number of image files that define the color, texture, reflectivity, and luminance of the object and its parts. So this week, I’ll be making lots of copies of the model and adding new artwork to the flags.
