AXYZ Design Mini Challenge

Crowded Challenge entry by Christopher Lane

Its been a very long day – but i have managed to setup the scene with my components and added some extra bits and bobs. I’m really happy with it so far but it needs a lot of tweaking in parts… still more modelling to be done – but the last 48 hours of hard work are starting to show.

I will start using Anima on the scene tomorrow.

I’ve been screen capturing my whole process, so it should make for an interesting watch once this is all done.

Hope you like my current progress – any feedback would be most welcome 🙂

Well this is a lot more work than i thought it would be…. think i worked until 3am last night on this… this post is to illustrate what i had accomplished up until that point…. i will be posting another WIP later on today with my current progress.

Using the photo reference that i included in my first post – I picked out elements that i really wanted to include in my final scene. Objects like, AirCon units, Balcony Railings, Windows, Shutters, Doors and even buildings… in particular the clock tower which i want in the background.

I modelled and textured all of the items in this post in separate files first to keep things easy to manage.

Let me know what you think so far… I’m aware that its not perfect at the moment – Once i have composited it all together i plan on going around and fixing any Vray Dirt / mapping issues.

Hope you like it.

This was a very quick sketch that i did over a basic context model to help with scale…. its a very messy drawing… but the idea is to have the tower in the background with restaurants and shops at ground level, with the camera being positioned at eye level.

I really want to try and get across how beautifully chaotic the details were in the streets of Corfu Town upon my visit… with narrow streets, lots of shops / restaurants, plants and exposed building services.

I have already started the modelling of this phase and will try to get a work in progress post out a bit later today.

Hope you like the idea.
