Just a quick update

Changed out the roof of some of the buildings as the texture was not working for me, and changed the size of the tables and seats

Its all starting to come together

Well here is the latest render, which by now is starting to tax my computer. Many new things were added like additional chairs, tables, plates, glasses, a new floor, and the completion of a new building. Only two buildings left and then this project will be finally completed!

Half Way Point

So this marks the unofficial halfway point in terms of texturing as I have finished the clock tower and am now moving on to the final three buildings. I took away the leaves and changed the ground to a more concrete texture, as well as changed the setting from dusk to early morning. I will be adding in a few kiosks and a center piece to help add more life to the space in place of the leaves. Meanwhile I am working on my own website to act as more of a portfolio, while this blog will act as updates to current projects.

More Bump Mapping!

Alright I am almost through the large center piece when I decided I wanted to go over the others with additional bump mapping to help bring out the texture. I still continue to work on the ground and large open space that will dominate any render, as such I have spent time creating more leaf piles to help add something to the environment, I will continue to work on these piles to help add to the environment, so far here is what I got.

The Next Three

I didn't want to show the next three buildings until I was happy with the render, however the whole thing seemed to be lacking something to me. The entire space is large in real life and open to tourists so it was designed for a massive open space. It was only during when I was playing The Last of Us that I hit upon the idea of putting a bit of a nature element in to the scene, specifically leaves on the roof and piles of leaves pushed up against the building as if some one had just finished sweeping the grounds. The next building is the largest one and will mark the halfway point of texturing the buildings!

Bench and a Update

So I have moved on to texturing the 4th building now, but before I get to that and hopefully provide a picture of the four buildings all together, I decided to take a few hours and create a bench to add a bit more to the environment. If I have time I plan to also add in lamp posts and take a second look at the shingles of the roof on the second and third buildings, along with the ground texture. I am also toying around with some of the lighting to provide the best dusk setting. Either way, here is a update of the first building with the bench added in.

Textured!

So it's been a while since I posted last, life has been a bit busy with graduation. I now officially have a Bachelor's in Arts and Technology and am currently busy working on texturing my models. Below are all the completed models, as well as the two textured ones. Now that I can turn my full attention back to my work, I hope to provide updates at a greater frequency.
