Street Development Update...

Just some images from different camera angles showing you more development to the models in my scene... i've added some more details to some of the buildings and there are still some more to go... I still need to model a bench and a bin for the street and then add in a few more buildings, but after a while i will be able to duplicate some of the buildings because they will be so far in the distance that you won't notice anyway... Obviously i will make changes to each of these duplicates to create a variety... I'm really pleased with how the scene is looking so far, i just hope i can continue the details right through to the final renders...

Lock Shop Development and Street Thus Far...

There are some duplications in the street at the moment just to fill it up, but these will be replaced with other models once they are completed... I'll keep working on the lock shop to add mre details and some of the other buildings ned some more details added... I'm also considering adding some benches and trees...

Street Lamp and Street Development Thus Far...

Street Lamp Restarted...

So i decided to start with the street lamp again because i felt the first design was too rounded and didnt fit in with the style of the scene... So i looked at my reference images again and found a design with sahrper edges and it was more sqaure, fitting in with the scene better... I think straight away, even with this simple design you can see a big improvement... I've just got to add in the details and change a few bits here and there but im much happier with this model...

Street Lamp Development...

Here's the street lamp i've modelled for the development of my street... at the moment i feel there's bits that work well, but it looks slightly odd and out of place, maybe the proportions need to be changed... i'm gonna work on it a bit more tomorrow until i feel it looks better and fits into my street better...

Cinema Development...

Street Development Continued...

At the moment i'm working on the cinema for my street which is the building in development on the right... i think after i've finished that i'll start modelling a street lamp and other objects to go along the pavement...

Kanye West's Power Music Video

I saw this music video a couple of days ago and just had to upload... Director of the music video, Marco Brambilla, also an artist, states "It’s kind of apocalyptic, in a very personal way... It’s a very exaggerated hyper-sensational version of what the song is saying.” While West proclaimed via Twitter "It's not a video, it's a moving painting"... whatever you want to call it, it's pretty darn creative and worth a watch if you havent seen it already, including many mythological/bible related references...

Sweet Shop Window Development...

Sweet Shop Development...

I've come away from the ice cream parlour for a while and decided to work on the next shop in my street... i was looking through my reference images again and i found a really stylish design for a sweet shop based on the one from Main Street, Disneyland... After doing basic shapes for each section of the building i have started to add some details around the windows...

Ice Cream Parlour Development...

Another update on the development of my ice cream parlour...

Ice Cream Parlour Shop Front Development...

Just an update on the development of my shop front for the ice cream parlour in my street... I'm fairly happy with how the windows have turned out but i feel the doors need some working on... I was supposed to be working today but i'm not needed so i'm able to continue with the modelling... keep watching for the development...

Ice Cream Parlour Shop Front Maya Modelling...

I've started to model my ice cream parlour based on my reference images and the designs i have done. Here is the shop front windows as i'm adding the details, i have also modelled other sections of the building but i have spent the most time and put most of the details on these. I feel they look really effective and once i've added the textures and finished off th details i am hopeful that they will look like an authentic ice cream parlour shop front. Expect lots more updates on the modelling later...

Ice Cream Parlour Design 02...

Here's the second design for my ice cream parlour, again it follows a similar style to the design before but the layout differs. I do like this design, but i'm not sure it reminds me of an ice cream parlour as much as the design before...

Ice Cream Parlour Design 01...

Here's the first design for the ice cream parlour in my street... It's based on the ice cream parlour at disneyland's main street and i like the simplistic yet stylish design. I want my town to seem very perfect to add to the eerie feel of the animation and i think with stereotypical designs like this, i will be able to achieve a 'perfect' looking town, so that the audience can instantaneously pick up on the fact that it seems too perfect, which is contrasted by the fact that the town is actually empty... ive got a few more different designs for the shop front before i decide how i want it to look and start modelling it in maya...

Ice Cream Parlour Reference Images...

Here are some of the reference images i've collected to help me design the ice cream parlour for my street... As you can see, i'm going for a vintage style for the ice cream parlour and this style will follow on in each of the shops and buoldings in my street... I will now begin to do some hand drawn designs for the shop front so that i can start creating the shop in maya...
