Week 1 (Term 2)

During the Christmas break and in week one i started to model the interior of the house. Just the lounge and Hallway. I modelled this area in the style we finalised on as a group. When i returned back to college i showed the group the assets i had made so far and they were pleased with the work. i tried to make sure that the assets were of a good quality and low in the number of poly's. We have started to make a blockout of the environment so we can get a better idea of how the film with look, the camera shots, where objects are positions etc. I am moving on now to start modeling the jungle foliage which has proved to be a bit of a task. As soon as i started modelling some jungle leaves, I knew that creating a thick jungle would be very high poly, that is if i am to modelled absolutely every vine and leaf. So at the moment, my time is being spent testing out different ways of making the foliage which is not only good quality (smooth and realistic) but low poly. I suggested painting parts of the foliage, attaching this to alpha channels and then modeling other parts such as trees trunks. This is something i will discuss further with the group. I thought it would be a good idea to ask another student how they made there jungle for a previous project. Also we now have a schedule that tell each member of the group exactly what they have been assigned to till the submission day in June.
