To modelling!

well now all the planning is done I have begun to model. Most of my work is in the same word document where I am keep a log of the work and screen-shots of progress (currently contains some initial models and attempts to get the look I am after) - so more finished work will be put on this blog in due course.

Today we also spent the morning looking at finance and discussing various elements. whilst I would have continued to work - it was somewhat informative. We also found out our Tutor isn't here today or Tuesday - so I will simply be carrying on with my work. (more 3-D work or work in Photoshop getting textures and other arty work done).

Marketing

Most of today, I have been working on my marketing work - got a planning document, some examples, evidence etc - from there I started to make my advertisment task: a poster. After spending a while examining proffesional examples I knew what I was going to create. So in the afternoon I started: Added a few pictures and did some basic editing - but then for one of the "stone zombies" from my backstory, I didn't knopw exactly how to get this look, so a friend in my group showed me how I could overly a texture, and then copy it to repeat the effect. The finished result is below:

Each of the image were edited around with the smudge and blur. Then to each I addedd various filters (such as cutout). The stone zombie was made using various filters and a rock texture, I then made various adjustments such as: Hue, saturation, brightness - etc.

We also spent the morning working on T-shirt designs and whilst learning to use the website we came up with various ideas and saw clear issues when using the site, such as the need to vector our images.


More work (3-D planning and concept work - another T-shirt design) to be put on the blog later in the week.

The final push

The vast majority of planning work has been completed (the odd document needs updating) as has most of the concept work, so know it will be time to get into the nitty gritty of texture work, 3-D models - as well as any voice work and marketing projects; My team decided I will be working on the University Building, a poster, some textures, sounds and some of my own voice acting - updating the backstory; and then helping out where I can, in the next 8 - 10 weeks. Concept work (etc) will be posted to the blog in the coming weeks depending on workload and when I can finally get 3DS MaX working at home through the schooling system
