Hello! Prague Baby!

Barcelona (Finally)

Gamer Expo and where are those pictures?!

Well, didnt have time to put pictures on, been a bit busy or lazy one of the two but will definatly put them up tomorrow!
Today went to the gamer expo up London really enjoyed it got to the quarter finals in the FarCry competition not bad considering hadnt played it before. Also got alot of inforation from people in the industry especially Rare :) woot woot! But it also allowed me to look at some games in depth and was pleased to see that a lot of objects like buildings were mainly square and just had great textures on, it was good to see this as it means our models dont have to have loads of polygons as long as we get the textures and bump maps right. But yeah good day will be looking out for more like this as it allowed me to see what was coming in the near future!!!

So yeah these are some new images to show people. The steps have been shown before however descussing it with the fellow team we decided to spice up the steps by adding more variation, i did this by using the sculpt geomatry tool and smoothing etc the steps (individually yes) but didnt take to long and i think they look better than what they were.

The Sewage pipe i think will look gd with some nice texture on the wall of stains and with a bit of rust wil look good.

The house i am very pleased with Alec suggested the lasso round it to give it a bendy look, which works well and takes it away from a realistic view, i prefer this way and gives the building more character i just hope texturing it wont be a nightmare! :s

Formative Assessment

Today we had our formative, it went well i felt and we wher able to hear how each of us felt and how we were working as a group and the majority of it was positive, maybe we were being to nice to one another :)
I was told that more evaluation and primary research (there was probably more but until i get the copy that is what i can remember) was needed to be shown so i will be putting up the pictures first thing tomorrow, but for the mean time i have some more images of the work i have done in maya. The housing was done from images on the internet and some concepts i had done, Alecs suggestion of bending the houses gives a nice touch to the buildings and i think it is successful.

CANNONBALL!!!

Well last year i modelled a Cannon, got the image from wiki and i think it may work in the scene! Also shows the wagon im working on. Stupid nCloth is anoying me though, but hey early days still so not to worried yet!

Maya so Far......

So, this is what i have done so far really, quite pleased with it. Im now going to start on the top area where all the houses are, also thinking of having some buildings like pubs, armories etc.

Would like quite a few areas like this in the scene as it adds questions in the viewers head about what are down these alleys, or it would to me :)
