Models at work. Work... WORK... WORK!!!!!

Here are the first viewings at the models at work. Quite simple stuff right now but only basic shapes. This was the next step after the tests and tutorials from the previous post in which I make the models themselves.

Once I've completed the full models our group plans to create one file containing all the files in which we can place the models made in the areas which work best for the film or areas in which we are most happiest with. Modelling is my primary function but there was a chance of plan today in which Leonard and Michael are going to be assisting with some model ideas of their own. I was quite fine doing them by myself... geez... I'M NOT THAT BAD! But the case was we are all capable of modelling and we all wanted to contribute to that. Though I'm still doing the majority of the models.

1. This was the first model made for the Funfair swing. It didn't go to plan but it showed me what I was going to do next... not this.

2. I'm quite pleased with this model. If I can duplicate and parallel the ride it's ready for the project. Though I still have to design the carrier/seat that goes with it; that would be the square box you would see. The wheel is a seperate object to which it shall be animated. It was also one of the first models I started working on for the ride.

3. This is the start of the Arcade Hut. it's quite a basic squarish model in which I originally intended to create a thicker "shell" wall for the inside too but due to my modelling skills there is a problem when extruding, and i cannot fixed this at this stage. The advantage of using this for a film is the fact that if there is a problem we can always hide it. But only if possible. There is a whole collection of arcade machines (seperate objects) to be placed within the arcade; in which textured, lighten and rendered correctly will show quite an effective viewing.

4. This was the first test of the wheel. Showing what I originally planned to make it with. The model at the button was too thin and flatten to be used, and the second (above) has a "rope" problem which cannot be used for the final wheel. Please note this was still at the stage at which I was designing my own workings.

5. I'm a bit worried with this one. While the 8x duplicates worked great I'm concerned on how the model content will look. I might have to redesigned it since it's going to be filled with prizes and bottles. But we see as we move along. The roof is still not available.

6. This is the second attempt of the Funfair Swing. I like the roof more since I had to connect a sphere to the extruded square. it looks a bit strange in modelling but if textured this should be fine. The twist is not completed but there's still the possibility of not showing the top of the swing (hopefully my group will help me out if we can show this, I would like to see it in the final film). I'm having modelling difficulties with the twist due to the fact that the model needs more edges to be able to blend and move. Not completed is the enterance and top windows/exit.

This is only the preview and more details are yet to come. Stay tuned.
