Main room First steps

here you can see our basic plan room complete with our finished first set of pillars that me and spence created.

note: the stairs are being re done as they will be to hard to texure as they look now so studog is re doing them.

the size of the room will be alot smaller to this room is pretty big the final one will look more compact. but the main thing i get from this picture is that it already looks like on of the pictures of the mansion from resident evil good news indeed! still need to make another pillar design tho to go under the main stair case oh and arches on top of the pillars to wont be to hard i hope not with the medic around anyway ;)

Ground Zero Libary Research work

Here are some scanned images from a Gothic Building book in the college Libary that me and ash found. As you can see in the images some of them have really nice shapes and arcs and stairs just like what we are trying to achieve with our mansion. Credit goes to ash for finding most of these pictures and me adding them onto here.

Summary of our Formative assesment and the general reviw of the past 3 weeks

Hey all this is my first posty heheh lol moo moo.

Anyway yesterday we had our formative assesment and i must say i was very impressed with what jared thought of our group and how well we was doing. Before we had the assesment i knew my blog was serverly lacking and had hardly any writing on it except for technical work but i just didnt have the time to sort it out soon enough becuase ive been so busy posting things on our team blog mainly.

Today ive had to post all the things ive put on the team blog and put it on mine which from now on is what i will do first and then ill post it on the team blog for the other lads so see. So expect from now on every week or so to see a review of progress on how we are doing.

Over the last few weeks since our group got together and it was pretty random i must say but has turnt out to be miles better then what i thought. Eveyone in the group pulls there weight and they all know what they are doing and what i expect from them. Ive never worked with spencer or stuwart before but they are great to work with and they like to have fun aswell. Ive worked with ashley previously before and his great he helps out alot and he generally just wants to do well as a group and get a good grade same as me.

When we came to the idea of doing this mansion eviorment i didnt even have to suggest much apart from show them a video of the old remake of resident evil on the game cube and they loved it so much that it was settled within 2 mins that was what we was gunna do we didnt winge or have a tantrum in front of the class we all liked it and we stuck to it and blending in some hostel and saw designs for the mansion to from stuwarts research which was good 2.

So far weve been making props mainly for all rooms and doing the concept art and storey boards which spencer is doing a sick ass job of which i am very pleased with. Stuwart is a monster at modeling as soon as he sees something he likes boom hes started modeling it. Ashley is the team medic he helps with maya in modeling and does the propbs and does them to grade a standard quality. Stuwart is working of the main staircase. me and spence have started the main room plan of maya and have made the main pillars for the room and have stated basic laying out.

so all is perfect so far and cant wait for the next coming weeks to see how it looks then. Expect more writing from me from now on.

Barcelona Pictures

here is a small selection of my pictures taken from our trip to Barcelona. I think the Railing banister picture will be very good becuase we that fits the style of the mansion ones and we will need this to go in the main room on the stairs and balcony. The other pictures show pillar designs and colours of that which are similar to our mansion theme.

Research of the main hall way room

all these pictures here will be helping us decide on how big our first room will be and what things we would look to see inside the room. I think this gives our group a great start in designing our first room.

Resident Evil Main Hall

This is the Main Hall Way room in the game Resident Evil. This is the first room we are trying to make in maya. The starting of our fly through will show this view at the start and walk towards the tunnels on the left hand side of the main stairs
