Deliverables

BRIEF:
The brief for this project I given the task to create a full scaled 3D environment inspired by the style of “Neo Tokyo”. The deliverables of this project had to include; 3 promotional posters, 4 high quality renders and a viewable 3D environment in SketchFab. My timeframe for this project was 3 months.

HOW I MADE IT:
To accomplish these deliverables, I began by doing research on art styles from media like Tron and Bioshock along with analyzing artists and visiting real life venues and museums related to my idea. After that, I began creating some sketches for different floorplans, assets and rendered shots. Next, I moved into the modelling stage, using my sketches as a reference in Auto Desk Maya for proportions and design language. In terms of the modelling itself, I started with simple privatives to get the core silhouette of the environment laid out, before using wide range of techniques to add more detail to each mesh. Once the modelling stage was finished I began lighting and texturing everything using Maya’s built in features, making sure the keep the “Neo Tokyo” style at the forefront of my mind. To finish the 3D section of the project, I used Maya’s built in camera controls to render off
some shots highlighting the best features of the environment.

Finally, I used Adobe Photoshop to create the 3 posters, before bringing the entire environment into SketchFab for post production and so that you can view it in 3D space. I want to highlight as well, that I used Google Forms to get audience feedback throughout the project.
I also want to add that this description is a brief summary of the project and not a detailed step by step tutorial, as there were a lot of extra things I did throughout the project that I can’t cover without making this description thousands of words long.
