Well, this is it, I guess. It’s been an educational ride.
Delivery
Milestone 3 Presentation, a copy of the PowerPoint presentation being given at the Milestone 3 presentation.
EnvironmentDesign.mov, the final product.
Post-Mortem, an overview/dissection of the project.

I’ll start this entry off with the scene layout referred to in my last entry;
This week’s updates:
Documentation
I’ve appended my Project Plan to reflect the fact that my Research Document was included in Milestone 1 as well as Milestone 2. Due to this, the document has been moved from the Milestone 1 heading to the Milestone 2 one in the right sidebar.
Delivery
Reference Document, containing all photo references for my project.
Concept Art Document, which contains concept art and scene layout.
Research Document, where you will find a summary of the research done in the past few weeks, alongside a more indepth look at the references found in the Reference Document, and the contents of the Concept Art Document.
Milestone 2 Presentation, a copy of the presentation to be given at the Milestone 2 delivery.

I was asked to add a Reasearch Document to my MS1 delivery, and now I have. You can find it here (or, as always, under Milestone 1 in the sidebar).
At the moment it contains a backstory and a more in-depth analysis of the various references also found in my Reference doc. I will be adding to the document up until the MS2 delivery date, as I do further research into Unreal Engine 3 and its pipeline process.
Next step is to sit down and draw up some sketches, as well as a general layout of the scene. I’m planning on having that up by the end of this week.

A document containing various references can be found here (or, alternatively, under Milestone 2 in the sidebar).
I’ve started making a checklist of objects I want to include in the scene (a couple of references are in the document), but I’m still not sure about what kind of lighting I want. I’m on the fence as to whether my scene will be brightly or dimly lit, and am entertaining the thought of combining to two and creating darker, shaded areas amongst the sunlit ones in my scene.
Will be sketching this coming week, and as soon as I have my layout I’m confident that I’ll be able to see if there’s room to play around with such things.

Today I have once again read through my Project Plan and made some revisions (adding deadlines that I had overlooked to the time schedule). I also made a PowerPoint presentation in preparation for tomorrow’s Milestone 1 delivery (it can be found beneath Milestone 1 in the sidebar).
Next up, moving on to Milestone 2 (otherwise known as the Research Phase).
- Stefanie
My Project Plan is complete and can be found in the right hand sidebar, under Milestone 1.

As of today my project proposal has been presented and gotten the all clear, which means that this specialization project is now officially under way.
These first few weeks will involve a lot of research and will probably not produce much in the way of screencaps, sketches etc. (we’ll get to that soon enough), so until then, have a look at my proposal - a link can be found in the sidebar to the right.
