Stained Glass Design Adjustments

After studying the design closer I was required to make some adjustments to achieve a more practical design from which to cut the glass. These images show me isolating the areas of glass which I will cut to make the 'puzzle' and the suggested detailing to be added on with black glass paint.

As you can see here I have had to move the hill-top town lower so that the detailing would not cross over the important horizon seam. The road has also been widened and the vineyard moved so that the detail of the man and cart can be included on the road glass section. The river section will need to be split on its challenging tight bends so not as to create an extremely weak piece of glass (not to mention the extra time and risk of damage if I tried to create such a shape out of a single pane of glass!!!)

I am a Second Year Games Art and Design student at Norwich University of the Arts. After exploration of a number of roles in my first year, I am now looking to graduate as a 3D Artist with applicable skills in Maya, Mudbox, ZBrush and Photoshop. I understand that my skills in this field are not there yet - but I aim to achieve this goal through consistently working through the programs in my University and Personal Projects. I love to be busy - I have always had a lot of things on my plate since the age of 7 where I successfully balanced school with Ballet, Tap, Horse-Riding, French, Piano and Singing Lessons! In the same fashion, my university schedule is just as hectic and varied; I am a Peer Mentor to first year students, Student Rep for Second Year, and President of the Enterprise Society. Like I said, I love to be busy! I am a Games Hippie - so to speak - I believe that Games if designed and harnessed in the right way, will be able to help solve many of the global issues we have today - even if it starts off in a small way. Just look at the positive effects that Facebook and Twitter have already had... When navigating my blog;
  • Works in Progress - This section is a constantly running account of all my current projects - personal and for university. It will contain reference images and website links and sometimes less than coherent posts, so be prepared!
  • Finished Pieces - This is where you will find my more polished artwork. Looking for help with Maya? Check out the posts tagged "Maya How-To's"
