subway

made a start on the subway project, not too far in yet, and sadly way over my texture size budget, think it may be because I've made a rather large area, also wasted quite a bit on the carriage, which i plan on sorting out.

not planning on doing much more to this at the minute, as i think the is a big unreal 3 update coming out soon, which if it does what it says will make using the engine easier, lighting easier, and better looking i might add.

sumer projects

as for the Summer projects i plan to do the rain forest, and the subway projects, in different engines.

mainly because the cry2 engine will make a rain forest look absolutely amazing but at the same time the engines advanced lighting and shaders might not show of my work that well, as the engine can make anything look nice to be honest.

and the  subway in the unreal3 engine, as unreal 3 is slightly easier when making indoor areas.

hopefully proving that i can use both engines which is always a plus.

also hoping to make the characters needed with each project intractable and animated in the scene, as in a man sitting by a fire in the crash site, or a hobo sleeping in the abandoned subway.

not sure how much work is involved in that, but I'm hoping the summer will be enough time to get all that done. 

summer

Well that's another years work successfully over now, quite happy with how this year has gone, feel I've learnt a damn lot this year.

not just in terms of 3d but my 2d work also. adding colour to my life drawing i feel I've learnt allot and came along way.

my drawings still aren't perfect but I'm happy with how its going. 

also in terms of 3d i feel I've came along way since last year. although even looking at this years projects I'm not happy with them and feel i could do them allot better now, which i intend to do over the summer, only to hate them after I've done gain and want to do them again but that's just the way to learn i suppose, to redo work and iron out mistakes.

planning on doing allot of work over the Summer, so hopefully i will be ninja at 3d modelling and drawing next year ready to take on the 3'rd year projects. 

 

on to the list of Summer projects now, some of which look awesome.

especially the subway and rain forest crash topics, in which i have an idea which i will go into next blog.
