For my role in the Major Project, I had to research several items which correlates with my job, this being a 3d modeler. To begin the research, I started by looking back on my proposal and the different blog posts that I created.
Firstly, I looked at the idea development post, this is because it includes 2 mood boards that I created in preparation for modelling the boat, this is helpful because it helps me understand different features of the paddle steamer which I can model to add detail to the final boat.
Moving on from the proposal, I began to look at what models I needed to make and if I needed any relevant images to assist me in the design, production and texturing phases of asset creation. For the most part I’m able to get the models created without references, however for some I needed some help on what they looked like, the models in question are below.
Snub Revolver
For the revolver I needed a reference image to get the correct dimensions of the model. Below is the image that I used for reference/research; this also helped me decide the textures needed.
Boat
For my Boat I used my mood boards from my idea development blog as I already had all the images I needed just from that.
Toilet
For the toilet model I needed something that represented the time, therefore I used an old drawing from the victorian time, as it isnt too far off of the games time period, therefore I think it still works.
Sink
For the sink I decided a specific design based on an image I found, this helped me decide how the sink would look when modelled.
