Saturday

So earlier at the beginning of the project I thought about having the vehicles set within a scene, to help show them off. But looking at my calendar that I have set for everything, I feel like I will run out of time if I run with this idea. Now time management is a huge deal to me as I am a complete nut at it, (seriously). Time seems to drain everything out of me and I just become a complete mess and stress head. 

As I am scrapping the idea of an environment, I have been looking into other ways of completing a vehicle and to show to an audience. Car games usually start with your vehicle in a garage or something similar, but I have also seen, turn tables. A scene image, out of focus, (as this will stop the player looking else where) with a turn table in the center of the shot with the vehicle on it. Maybe even a styled floor space with the vehicle on, this could help show style, shadows and theme. 


Some examples of what I thinking of for the end render and animation, hopefully. I need to make some development sketches and what exactly might and might not work for each individual vehicle.

So I have two models out of the three. The first one is partly textured, the second one is modeled and I just need to add some minor detail, and now here is the third model;


At the moment the modeling side is going really strongly and I am really enjoying it, I have learnt alot over the three years, even if it doesn't feel like it.
Considering the time I have left I think I am on track at the moment but it does depend on how long the unwrapping and texturing goes on for. This is the part I am most worried about overall.
I have three models all consistent of the theme that is set in my brief, 'horse boxes', that is an achievement as I do tend to change my mind and ideas, still half way through yet.

Here is some original reference of my own trailer that I used to help model the one above;






Considering where it is, it is very clean, I might have to add some dirt to the model when texturing or it will look boring...
