Galloper Decoration

Design for Tilable Roof Decoration

I created a design for my roof section that would work if tiled. I can now create the structure and UV map in Maya now i have the general shape of the decoration layed out.

Final Template complete Tuesday 15th November 2011

I originally designed my Galloper ride as a three abreast horse ride, but was told to change it to a four-abreast ride. This was done to make them seem bigger and give the central area of the Galloper more room. This scale will now work well with my design and will be a good base template to start my final model.

I will start modelling the top section of the Gallopers, becuase the model is round i can just model and UV map one section of the Galloper. Like a piece of Cake. Once I have a basic design i can break up the repetative structures with unique images and text writen around the top. 

Deadline for Modelling Galloper

DEADLINE Friday 25th November 2011!!!

 

I Have been given a Deadline from which i am going to 3D model and Texture my Galloper ride. on Friday 25th I aim to have a finished Galloper with high quality textures. I will also apply these textures to the low poly template to see if it could also work as a low poly model.

Maya Environment Test

Created Sunday 23rd October 2011

I created a quick environment in Maya to show how the Galloper will look in the Warehouse. Again I played with the singke sauce of light, which i feels makes the environment a lot creepier. 

Its all about the Shadow in this image. Seeing it cascade across the ceiling and up the walls creates an overpowering image.

As you can see I have added Tents and a Ferris wheel in the background, also pillars and supports for the building structure. This helps the viewer understand the location without much trouble.  

Maya Test

On Thursday 20th October I created a low-poly Galloper model. This was done to judge the scale and shape of the ride. It will help me create my final model, using it as a template from which to create a more detailed version. 

Environment Concept

Environment Concept, Entrance.

When me, Steph and Dave my fellow masters comrades went to Manchester on Friday 7th October 2011 to gather research we decided to visit Manchester Town Hall. We were fortunate enough to be allowed upstairs for 10 minutes. Whilst wondering around admiring the architecture and artwork we passed through a passageway that overlooked a small courtyard. Once i saw this secluded, claustrophobic area my mind was filled with ideas for the environment upon which my Gallopers could be situated. I decided to create a concept of the entrance too the fairground storage area, inspired by the courtyard at Manchester Town Hall.
