Week Ten

Once the character and its movements were as we desired we next began to model our rooms. As my character is the Jack I was modelling the playroom. We began by deciding on the dimensions of our rooms, how big they should be, what should be included, lighting techniques, textures and floor styles.

We decided to use metre measurements for the rooms and created large open spaces of around twelve by twelve meters with wooden floors, buttercup yellow walls for the playroom and industrial style textures for the School of Rock room.

The first piece of playroom equipment I made was the climbing frame. It was a simple structure of boxes which were manipulated into the various shapes I wanted. The slide was converted to an editable polygon and pulled into shape before adding turbosmooth to create a well formed shape.


The textures were created using a seamless wood texture import and changing the colouring to create a more entertaining structure for the children to play on. The slide was a two tone texture with the shininess and glossiness adjusted so it reflected in the light and interacted with the surrounding environment.


The end result is a wooden climbing frame which looks entertaining for the young children who, hopefully, will be inspired and encouraged to visit the YMCA.
