designing the window





what i have discussed with tara, who is our modeler for this project, is concerning the design of the window.i uploaded some images i took from barcelonawhich i wanted us to consider modelling for our exterior windows in the scene.

I said to take the basic shape and try and model that as best we can, as the architecture is pretty complicated.
But it seems going with that for the window will give it a more distinctive look

i also relised some of the images, the detail is on the outside of the windows not in. I thought since we never see the top of our very large window as camera enters the interior, i thought concentrating on the detail in the window would be what the audience sees. We are going with a stylized look, so it doesn't have to be perfect but at the very least competently done and with care to preserve the original detail, just doing away with things we cant possibly do in the time frame.

thats kind of the way it has been as a microcosm of the entire project, how can we do the most in the shortest space of time. how can we cram a lot of detail in while also not getting carried away coming up with too many possibilities.

One problem we needed to sort out was deciding on a final colour scheme. we have many different possibilities for a colour palette for the tone and so forth. All we need now is a definitive colour scheme all clear and done so we know what to do next for the 3d.

I need to get to work on the title, i am thinking first try and get all the animation for the mattresses done this weekend including the camera move, and i will be set to design the title.

I am confident we will pull through this, Tara has shown me how to manipulate the 3D Mattresses using all the handles. As i will be doing all the animation, she has made sure to include many different version of the mattresses , different colours and shapes.

It is a very short scene, so the only complications are things i cant anticipate yet in the animation, technical problems. but so far i haven't seen many. all we need is definite plans for how everything is going to look and i will be able to go ahead with that.
