Hey Everyone,
This is the first week that I will be weekly blogging on my current personal work project that I introduced in my last blog post. This past week has been a slow one due to doing a lot of search for a star reviews for the Grads in Games competition. I've managed to do a few nights on the project this week which has mainly been planning and modelling.
I've started out by blocking out the main architecture modular kit and you can see a few images below:
I've kept the modelling very simple has I've decided that I'm going to use a trim sheet to texture this kit so all the edge chamfers and damage will come from the sculpting on the trim sheet. I'm going to do two trim sheets, one for all the concrete and another one that will have window variations, metal and a bit more concrete variation.
In the image below, you can see the plan that I quickly made of how I'm going to lay out the trim sheets.
In the first trim sheet, you can see I have a few variations of trim and generic damage along with some ornament variation. The windows on the second sheet, I will have two variants of see through/ dirty windows then I will place a plane behind the window glass that will be mapped to either blinds or curtains. The interiors are not the main focus of this piece and some will have ac units or flowers on the windows so I think that I will get away with it.
On top of this, I also collected more reference for the buildings and cherry picked what I wanted to use in the environment, you can see this below:
With the week just gone also being focused on the student reviews, this is now my first week that I will be solely working on this project so I hope to get a lot done and I'm going to count this week now has my first week on the project and will start to follow the time plan showed in my last blog post. I'm aiming to get everything blocked out, the architecture modular kit modelled and start to work on the trim sheet this week. I'm also going to add an extra week to the original project plan for the trim sheets.
That's all for my update this week! Thanks for reading:)
All the best,
Dom.
