Senior Game Project Week 4: Entry 2 of 2

As promised, here is a screenshot of my current modeling progress. Keep in mind that the lighting is only temporary since I'm not going to create the final lighting until I'm done with the texturing of the scene.

Things are coming along nicely. It's starting to look more and more like an abandoned hospital. I have most of the models in the scene now, and should have all of them in the scene by the 8th. I told you guys I'd have a screenshot for you to look at this week, so I'll have one uploaded on Thursday.

I've added a couple pieces to the wheelchair, some wrist straps on the arms of the chair and I've modeled the bed frame, bed-side table and oil lamp thus far. It's coming along nicely and I'm very confident I can meet my milestone on the 8th.

The wheelchair, which will probably be the most complex asset in the scene, has been finished. Also, today I've set my milestones for my project. I split it up into three main parts, which is that of modeling, texturing, and lighting. Next week I'll upload my first screenshot of the project, which I'm looking forward to.

Alright, I've done a bit more research and I've decided to go with a 40's style mental hospital. I'm going to watch Shutter Island this weekend to give me a better idea of the aesthetic, but I've already begun modeling. I can't wait to see how this will turn out!

I have in my mind a very good idea of what I want the environment to look like and from what angle I want to view it from. I should have a quick rendered image of what I want the layout of the building itself to look like along with the angle it will be viewed from.

Sorry this entry is a couple days into next week, but I'm still posting and that's what matters, right? I've finally settled on the type of building I'm doing, which is an abandoned hospital. I've looked up a lot of reference photos of abandoned and run-down buildings.

These photographers went around Detroit to different buildings that are run-down and abandoned and took fantastic photos. Apart from these photos, I'm also drawing inspiration from the Silent Hill games. I look the creepy abandoned and empty feel they give their environments, along with their beautiful textures that give the environments a dirty, grimy, grungy feel.

Senior Game Project: Week 1, Entry 1 of 2

Today is the first day of the new term. For my class's senior project we were given a large amount of freedom in terms of what we wanted to do. I thought about it and I have a pretty good idea of what I want to do. I'm going to do an environment model of a run-down and abandoned building. I haven't decided what type of building yet, but I'm going to look at a lot of reference for abandoned buildings around where I live. I'm looking to create a creepy and believable atmosphere with this piece, so I'm going to put a lot of time into it. I have a feeling this will be the best piece I've done.
