Progress

Progress has been very slow over the past month. This, I believe, has been due to everyone including myself, winding down because of the end of term and getting ready to have a bit of a rest for christmas. I havent been doing much during my time at university because, to be honest, there always seems like there are funner things to do. This has been fatal to my workflow.

I have finally finished my house and added more much more timber and textured the window and the lead which is cross hatched on the front. It will take me a long time to texture and UV map it because of all the timber. I think it may have been better to use a different method which would have made texturing easier.

The method I used was to create additional faces by using the 'create edge' tool and then extruding them out. What would have been much easier would be to just create a cube and texture it and then add the beams as separate components. This would have meant I would be texturing cuboids and could move the timber around more. It would have also made texture mapping easier.

I have also modelled the chair which is in the style of the era but that also needs to be textured. I have volunteered to make the whole dining table as well as all the chairs and I can make them in the same theme.  I am going to texture it all in dark wood which gives it an older look.

This is my chair that I have modelled.

This is a shot of the dining table and chairs that I have modelled with the same theme. LIke I said above, I am going to texture them in dark wood to make it look better. This dining table and chairs were most likely used by slightly wealthier families but will still fit in our scene.

Over the holiday I am really going to have to work harder to get this done.
