Google SketchUp Quick Concept

I have decided my design will be a combination of these two doorways mainly. I will be using the carved door panel idea from the image on the left (bluedoor) and the stone archway design on the right to surround the door. I am unsure as to whether I will include steps up to the door as few in AC2 feature steps (for obvious gameplay reasons) yet several doors of this style in my research included steps also.

 

This image below explains how I went about creating the simple archway shape in Google SketchUp in order to quickly see my door design take shape. These notes are not professionally finished as I intend them to simple be an Aide Memoire for when I look back on this project.



Below are some screen shots of my work in SketchUp. They are chronological and show my development;




Here I am using the extrude tool to create a raised edging as featured in the doorway photographs shown above.

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"
