Reaction To Brief

After reading the brief it seems there is a different direction to take with the use of 3ds Max, first of all to model my head will be interesting as I am sure I picture it different to many others and achieving a realistic head may be tricky. Last semester I struggled with creating a realistic texture so I may have some trouble when it comes to rendering textures to the head. As we are learning organic modeling techniques it will give a new perspective on what the program is capable of which may enhance the realism of my model head, as when I think organic modeling I think natural lines and uneven surfaces.

The second part of this module is to visit Finchingfield and discuss with the developer the development of the Guildhall into a public museum, as the modelers we are expected in groups of 3 or 4 to develop an animation which can show one of the following:

  • How the Guildhall has impacted on the local population
  • How it has been used to support the community or generically
  • How Guildhalls have been part of British history and how the Guildhall at Finchingfield fits into that broader picture
  • Taking the plans for the redevelopment of the Guildhall and producing a walk through of the building
Initially I am swaying towards the redevelopment of the Guildhall because I have always had an interest in architecture and refreshing an old building and being free to develop it.
