Storyboarding.

After completing my pitch I decided to create a rough storyboard to make sure I was happy with my idea.

After completing my storyboard I was happy, the idea was fairly simple but could become complicated with the amount of detail I could put into the modelling of the buildings and the textures, which would complete the idea of a destroyed city. The camera passes under the swing set and I liked this because it will give the audience something different to look at, it hopefully will make the completed project more interesting.

Research.

I thought it would be a good idea to take a look both some buildings in general and some destroyed buildings to get a greater idea of the look I was going for. This research will help me when I am modelling.

Below are a few pictures of buildings sourced from the Internet which I believe will help me during this project.

Here is a picture of some some already destroyed buildings to give me an idea of different styles used and also a picture of buildings which gives me an idea of the different types of buildings.

Also these pictures include destroyed buildings, i especially like the style of the building on the left, I like the rusty and dirty look. I will defernatly be following this style when creating my textures.

This is a picture of a basic swing set and bin, this is the shape of them I had in mind when I decided to model a playground area.

This is a picture of a blue, cloudy sky, I like this but I will be creating a texture for me sky which is less cloudy and more grey.

I thought it would be helpful to look at different types of rubble as I would like rubble surround the destroyed buildings. I just wanted to get an idea of the way it would surround different types of buildings.

After looking at different stlye buildings I decided to go into photoshop and create some different stlyed buildings which I will be later modelling in Maya.

Below is a variety of different buildings I have created.

I like the different types of buildings here and I will defernatly be modelling these in Maya for my final destroyed city.

I have decieded that my destroyed buildings are going to have chuncks missing off different parts of the building, I do not want them all completely destroyed but some of them are just going to have a little bit of the base of the building and will be surrounded by rubble. I am going to model the rubble in Maya and use a variety of different shapes and sizes, I will be using the textures I will use for my building because this will show the audience it has come from that particular building.
