Music


For my music in the scene I chose Balam Acab's "See Birds" because I feel it fits the dark and minimal atmosphere of the scene. Also quite handily it was free to download from last.fm.

Sketchy


These are pretty much the only sketches I did for the second part of the project, the initial 5 ideas for improving our model (yes the word "repeat" counts as a sketch). I will try and sketch more in future projects as I know it helps a lot with the process. I tend to do a lot more of my "Sketching" in the actual software rather than on paper. Maybe a bad habit.

Final Video. Gyroscopic.

100 Words

The whole way through with this project I have wanted to create something simple, yet elegant. Being new to 3D modeling I wanted to try and work within my limitations. My aim in the project was to discover as I work and try not to just stick to a single idea like I usually do with projects. After a lot of work I decided my final scene would represent datum. I wanted something minimal and abstract but also has a nice attention to detail and a nice finish to the scene with no loose ends. Performance and reliability were another area I payed attention to. There was no point working so hard on something only to have it end up not working in the final scene or creating choppy video due to low frame rates. I made sure every thing I have done in the scene was on purpose and learned a lot about the function of cry-engine and sketchup while I was working.

One more..


More materials. Think I've finally nailed it with this one.
