More 3ds max stuff :)

This is something i created in my spare time its a remake of my desk its almost finished just got my Xbox 360, keyboard and mouse to create. Apart from that the only over thing i am going to change is the scale of the Wii remotes and the lighting i think i am going to add one more light the right side of the scene to cast some more shadows and help bring out some of the detail i put into the models.

Storytelling Reflection

I think over all are team did a good presentation we all had done are research on the area of storytelling we have picked. Are teams presentation was 17 minutes long which was not the longest but also was not the shortest. I think that all the teams did a awesome presentation and only one person was not here. The audience was great too they all payed attention the only problem was the same two people asked the questions at the end but they was all good questions about the subject we was walking apart. I think that my presentation was the worst out of my group because i got a very simple thing to talk about there is only so much you can talk about cave drawing so i just said what the professionals thought they was made for and then what my opinion was. If i did it again i would pick a more complex time period to talk this would give me much more to talk about. I have learned that there is cave paintings through out time because of this we could have them in many of are different areas like are Egyptian one they had alto of story's that they painted onto walls of there temples and buildings.

Finished stargate (ish)

This is the finished version of my stargate i created the effects e.g the water on the portal and the thing that comes out but i had help from Steve who is are team leader to create a decent stone texture for the gateway its self the only problem i have with it is the bump map can still be seen when the water is coming in i could not work out how to sort this but it will not be very noticeable with every thing else going on so don't think it will have a impact with the quality of the trailer

Church

This is something i created for my environment this will be one of the first things you see in my bit of the trailer so i tyred to put a extra detail into it but also keep the uvw unwrapping as simple as i could. The next image is a screenshot of the scene and all the lights.

How is are team doing?

One of my main concerns is render time because me and some of my team mates are using mental ray with allot of reflections like Steve (team leader) is creating a futuristic city with allot glass. I'm also concerned that i have not seen many updates from some meet member on there 3d environments. But over all i think we have a balanced and well organised team that is working well together and getting all are work in on the deadlines are team leader is setting. I think it works well because we all have someone we are good e.g Steve 3ds max, me 3ds max, Wayne texturing, Jordan editing and Marcus is very good at scripting and sound editing
