Post 14 - Building Construction

In order to give the 'client' a good idea of what we have been up to and to avoid any confusion, we set ourselves the task of creating a couple of buildings. As time was upon us and I had began the first step of creating the a building, I suggested to the group that we should all contribute to making the same building, rather than make three. This idea was agreed upon, so I built my section of the building and passed it onto Jon, who then constructed an additional layer. This was then passed onto Chris, who then added the roof with a tower and began to experiment with uv mapping, which is a form of texturing. Image one is my contribution, image two is when Jon added his additional level and image three is after Chris added his roof, tower and began to texture.

My building contribution

Jon's extra level addition (with extra pillars)

Chris's roof and tower addition (with textures)

I feel as though this demonstrates a good collaborative exercise and shows that we can collectively produce something for the development of the final product. Although the texturing is not representative of Portland stone at this stage, it does show the capabilities of the team should give the client an idea into our progress up to the present. The next task is to create the presentation for the week seven progress report, which I shall do in the next 24 hours.
