Studying a Bachelor Degree in Game Art, hopefully learning the skills to design model and texture characters in a game ready fashion, and how not to chronically abuse 3d studio max i have decided to compile a journal of my day to day workings...

Changing Rooms.

Its been a busy couple of days but ive managed to produce another asset this time fully textured, i am pleased with my discipline. Being un-efficient iv decided to work on one room at a time so that my mind wont wander as much when im modelling, or at least it will be contained to just the one room. The main room is a fairly key area in the level and will have alot of focus on it, as all the other rooms stem from it, so ive started here. Originally i wanted to model a tank of some sort to place in the middle of this area, containing a purple liquid and some kind of body. I realised this was possibly a bit too complex for my ability and chose a torture/experiment table, taking my main inspiration from Goldfinger's laser table. The whole process took only two days from designing to texturing and at 1043 polys i cant complain. Now i just need to continue at this pace and come the hand-in ill have finished with plenty of time to spare.






Im moving on to some smaller, hopefully quicker, objects to be scattered around the main room in keeping with it so far. We were shown an example level, and in it were some portable halogen lights which i liked the idea of so ive been looking into some kind of "temporary" lighting system to put in this room aswell. Then once im done ill texture the other assets ive modelled and move onto the control room bay window.
