Minor Project - Set Model Update

I haven't shown my progress with the minor project in a while so here it is. I've been busy modelling the living room/kitchen set including all the main furniture. I've also begun to set up the hallway set and the two upstairs rooms, the bathroom and the baby room. The UV's were finished for the main room set last night and I am about to begin texturing the set. The kitchen and living room set is not yet finished as none of the many small objects/props have been added yet. All of the loose furniture are sitting completely straight currently and are not in their final positions.

Minor Project - Additional Room Concepts

(Upstairs) Bathroom Concept

(Upstairs) Baby's Room

(Downstairs) Hallway

As I am now moving onto modelling the environments, I needed to create a few more concept pieces to work out the smaller details of the main rooms.

In preparation for modelling the living room and kitchen set, I have completed the concept piece for the living room.

Minor Project - Contraption UV'ed and Rigged (Mostly)

I have laid out the UV's and completed all of the rigging except for the reel rotation on the reel-to-reel. That requires more complex work that I still need to figure out.

Minor Project - Contraption Model Completed


Complete Model

Complete Model (with side window geometry removed)

It has taken longer than anticipated to complete this model but it has been worth the extra time. Once I have completed the final skinning and rigging for my character I will be moving on to UV and rig this model.

Minor Project - Contraption Orthographic


In preparation for modelling the sound collector's sound collecting contraption, briefcase and clipboard, I've made an orthographic for the contraption as it is going to have very complex geometry. I will likely make orthographics for the briefcase and clipboard as well. They both have a much simpler overall shape, but there are some smaller details that may need to be planned out.

I also haven't uploaded the final version of the contraption concept separate to the interim crit presentation so I will show it here with the orthographic.

Minor Project - Sound Collector Modeled and UV'ed

After getting help from Alan I was able to fix geometry problems with the chin and add more detail to the ear which makes it look a lot more natural.


I've added a shirt sleeve underneath the jacket sleeve which was an unfortunate oversight in the model in Adaptation B.
