Time for an Update!

Here are the latest screenshots of my building. I am finding it hard to create a bombed out exterior without making the whole thing far too complex. Some more research into how to model for game engines will go a long way I think!





Here is my latest WIP where you can see my development to the rafters and rubble decay.




After showing this model to my friends on Facebook I got some handy feedback - The broken section of the wall (external) was far too jagged - unrealistically so - it was not true to life with how a brick wall would crumble when bombed. Also the same wall needs to be thicker as at the moment it looks unrealistic because it has no depth to it. Here is a revised snapshot of my walls after further research and adjustment in Maya;

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"
