Images

Oops.. here are the images of my environment..









Unreal Environment

This is my Unreal map so far ..(see post above!!) It needs lots of development as there is currently really only one major space.. I am partly struggling with the concept of the bridge, but am slowly working through that.. This space is based mainly on a two point perspective which will be scanned in extremely soon..

I haven't had a chance to do a moving object yet.. If not tonight, tomorrow night!!

Mashup Article

In this time, men are still men, and women are under. We think we are even, but it's not true. In every sector of society, that's true. Most of the world's richest women inherited their wealth. Versace, entertaining hollywood royalty and running her brother's namesake empire. But not Zhang, she took a step up from life in Hong Kong, the daughter of a military officer with inimitable flair. But don't let the black mock turtleneck and denim trousers fool you, he is revered by tech and design geeks designing 10 collections a year. 

Controlled by an army of handlers, he is a college dropout, a fashion diva who moved to China to experiment with capitalism. I gave a softer touch, made them more wearable, recycled generation after generation. The cycle starts all over again, severe cost cutting, looking for spiritual enlightenment, taking on entrenched megaliths, a mighty fine Queen of Trash with heaps of diamonds.

Problem

There was one problem in the final map.. In Stephen Hawking's space, part of the side rail of the ramp would not appear.. Although the change in the rail is interesting, be careful when walking around not to fall off!! I haven't yet! :-)

Shots of Final map

A longer view of meeting space and Stephen Hawking's lower level lab..
Jane Goodall's lab, and open area for movement and allowing for her primate friends, the cubes on the wall showing constant change in human mindset and action for nature..

The meeting space questions notions of unity and explores the differences in ideas of the two clients through the archway.This is another part of the meeting space, but more enclosed, evident of more connection and unity.
The following image depicts Stephen Hawking's lab space hanging by delicate cables, relating to ideas about the universe and its limitations and existence..


Inspiration

These are the axonometric drawings that my final map is based on, different to the first trial.

Textures

Light texture:
Medium texture:

Dark Texture:


So far I have struggled a heap to upload my textures to my map.. I have downloaded the emustore tutorial to check again, but cannot open the file.. At this point I am just putting the three textures I wanted to use on my blog and the fraps shots than I have already taken.. Hopefully I can work it out in the labs tomorrow morning..
Although the light texture may look a little dark, it is the amount of white space I feel stands out.. This one was different to all my other light ones, and I thought it had a special quality about that difference in placement of light rather than gradient of tone.
