Monday 19th November

Things that we've finished for today

Listed out our assets for the whole class to see. (All)
Filled the gaps in the stairs (Josh)
Got ridd off all the unused walls (All)
Scaled the building so it wasn't too narrow. (All)
Created a fire alarm button asset. (Rebecca)


After this we're having problem with saving the file as it reults in errors that can not open by maya on any computer.
We've print screened the error but have been unable to find a solution to our problem
We solved the issue by saving the building on the D drive because the network couldn't seem to handle it.
We tidied up the front balcony  and redid it so it makes more sence. The stairs outside were re done aswell.

We finished with creating a hole in the floor to allow the lift to pass up and down.

Thats it for Monday 19th November

19th November 2012

Plan:

Fill all the gaps
Remove walls for rooms which aren't going to be used + block them off
Add pillars, windows
UV texture (work load will be divided up so each person does one floor) - make sure blinds are shut for rooms which won't be accessible.
Address and sort out disabled access slope/stairs outside the JL building as well as the steel girder by the side of the road.


Here we have marked the rooms which we won't be modelling with an 'x'. The Interior Design Studio's is marked with '?' because its dependant on how quickly we get through the other rooms.
