concluision

Inatially when doing this project i was not very confident with maya and the tools, but as the project progressed my confidence, skills and understanding increased leaving me in the position where i enjoyed the modeling aspect of the project.
Overall i found the project good and interesting, very helpfull. I had a little bit of trouble during the project but with the help of team mates and class mate i overcame the troubles and created what i personally thought was a good final piece considering when the project began i was not half as confident as i am now.
I thought that we worked well as a group, we enjoyed it and had a good time producing the animations. Due to the fact that we worked well as a group i think that we ended up creating a good overall finalpiece.

storyboard

This is my storyboard for my initial idea. the storyboard indicates what happens in my room scene showing the different angle i decided to use for my final piece.

screenshots/ model/ room

After sorting my lights i was well on the way the way to render and complete my final piece. Looking back at the model i thought it was well modeled considering that this was the first majour moleding project i have done and this was the first majour model i had created.

after adding textures i began to play with different light effects, i found this diffucialt because i couldn find the perfect light and sometimes when i did the shadows didnt work. Also with the light.. i had a transparent plane in the middie of my room which affected the lights a lot by blocking the light from lighting up the whole room.

After completing my final mode and animation, i began to play aroung with textures.. trying different textures ect.

These screen shots are screen shotf of my step by step models, i decided to begin the project with the most basic thing that can be modeled which is the table.

Sketch book work

After wrighting down my ideas i decided to look at real environments and took quick sketches of different environment

After brainstorming, i decided to put down all my initial ideas for the group to see and use in order to help with the project.

these are my brain storms fot the project... befor the came up with ore final idea i had put together a brainstorm in order to help wiht the ideas.

Space

looking at thing to do with the big outta space!
E.G. stars, space ships ECT...-

Si Fi Movies

After all the research i decided to look at the most important part of the project, space ships etc...
films that i looked at

. Star wars, revenge of the syths

. Star gate

. Star trek

. Alean

these films are perposley watched in orded to help me to design something original and not the same as any other space ship iv seen..

Films

Due to the fact that we decided to look and large biuldings, scale became a very important part of our project!

so because of this fact, i decided to look at films, films such as ARTHUR AND THE INVINCABLES, ANTZ, THE REEF, BUGS LIFE and many more!

Stone designs.

I then took my interest further by looking at different stone designs and pillars... i chose these pillars and design because they are just so amazing to look at. The different designs created on one stone pillar is so facinating and eye catching.

I like the old celtic look on the cross pillars, they look so vibrant and strong.

I am also very facinated with the fisrt picture because of the mass amount of detail used to create the design!

I like these designs because of the nice vibrant designa on the actual arches them selves! The brick work is well done and produced!
