I have created an original scene for my final year project, it consists of realistic and cartoon styles. The main scene is a realistic Procuratie Vecchie (in St Mark’s square) with the statue of David situated in the centre of the square. This is another creative addition as the statue of David is not normally in this area. As mentioned in the proposal, if there is time I will animate the statue, turning him from realistic to cartoon. He will also stretch in an exaggerated expression to clearly distinct the cartoon style. He will then go back to his stance turning back into the realistic form.
To help with this I have found further references in addition to those in my proposal:
(For some reason the blog wont let me upload some of the files so I have the actual pdf page of my progress review, and it has saved the images but not the text, obviously the computer is my friend today :/)
Schedule:
I have slightly amended my original schedule adding an extra week onto the modeling time frame. This is due to unforeseen circumstances. I had originally saved a few weeks extra at the end of my project therefore I feel my goal is still achievable with this amendment.
My plan is to create the building first and statues second. Once the models have been completed I will start with texturing and lighting so the render tests can be completed. Lastly I will be animating the camera to pan through the models to showcase my completed work and render as a quicktime video.
Updated schedule:
Nov 28 – Jan 17 Modeling
Jan 18 – 31 Texturing
Feb 01 – 07 Rendering Tests
Feb 08 – 21 Lighting
Feb 22 – 28 Rendering Tests
March 01 - 07 Final Renders
March 08 – 21 In case anything runs over
Tips to help with texture and design:
- The ground of St Marks Square is natural stone that has been laid in a pattern designed by architect Andrea Tirali, this was so market merchants knew where to set up their stalls.
- Used to be apartments and offices with shops and restaurants on ground level.
- Built in 15th Century
- The square is overrun with pigeons and they have caused damage to buildings.
- The square floods
- David is 5.17 meters tall
- 50 arches along the wall
- Two stories of windows (50 each storey)
