Style
So the style I am going for now is one of a backward step if you like. The original design was looking too much towards trying to make my city look real, but by making lots of squares and just mapping them, I think you will agree, not very appealing. So I am now trying to create a handmade look to the 3D model. So it kind of looks real and to match the way I will be creating my real city. The best way to show this is by pictures but picture the Hollywood set of a spaghetti western and your almost there.
Not only that. As I will be animating the real city and its characters in stop motion I have decided to approach the 3d model in this way too. I am quite excited about the end result of the 3d animation as I have never done a stop motion animation before, never mind one in 3d. So I am hoping it will give it a distinguishable style. Also I have never seen an animation created in stop motion from 3d so it could be a first!! But probably not…

style 0.1
Well I have been trying to sort out a look or style for my city (in 3d) and to say the least I had found it hard up until a rather good suggestion. At first my idea was to create this 3D city like any other city with full buildings that had a roof, and four walls. However as you can see from the images below, this dint really look that good, although I still needed mapping to do which would play a big part in the style selection.
even the backdrop still needs proper consideration.
i'm back
Well its been a long long while since I last posted on here. I have just been so caught up in the actually making process etc of the project that I have found it hard to comment on my progress.Well now is the time I can talk about my progress as iv come on leaps and bounds, but you’ll have to excuse my regret of back tracking during my next few posts.
It has come to that hard yet enjoyable time of handing the work in and I am glad to see what I have produced over so many weeks.
