Week 3

I still had parts to texture in the cottage interior this week to which was finally done, thank god. Texturing the exterior hopefully shouldn't be as long winded, fingers crossed. It did take all week and I did get pretty much all of it done but a couple of bits. I think it looks a little bright though as I wanted it took look dull and flat to represent our main character. I'll have to sort that out the following week. I decided to use alpha maps for the trees, grass and bush leaves. They look nice especially the bush. However the ploycount is questionable......... I did another lighting test, similar to that of the hawaiian scene. looks nice but yet again looks quite bleached.

Week 2

With Hawaii done I spent this week texturing the cottage interior which is taking forever. A lot of the texture mapping got messed up for some reason and the textures that I did apply to the the geometry has gone completely mental. So now I had to go back over the texture mapping which is a waste of my time. There was quite a lot of geometry that need to be textured in this scene. I haven't got it completely finished which is very dissapointing. I do wish that I had another person helping me texture the whole environmet as its proving quite a long winded task. I am slowly growing to hate texturing.

Week 1

Over the easter break I had been texturing the hawaiian scene, which does look really nice. I had to change some aspects of the design as it did not fit the film and camera shots. The only thing now is that I hope my lighting will make the scene look lush and bright. Becca was impressed with the texturing which was a major plus as I was bit sceptical at first. I also did some test renders with some mock lighting, just to see how it could look when it is finished. The lighting was nice but was too strong and made the scene look bleached. the setting would definately need to be modified if we chose this type of lighting.
