Future Boat

One of three boats for the back area of the hotel. The version I have currently has normal maps


Ferarri Enzo Production


This is one of three cars I will attempt to put into the game engine. They will be located infront of the hotel in varied colors.

*Side note* I've decided to cut down the amount of playable area to the hotels and the small lake area that is directly behind the hotel. This is going to allow me to increase the detail of the environment I can create with the time I have.

Developements 2/2/2011 (outline, sketch and texture overlay)

 

Above is an image of the overall layout of the level. There are places where the level will be viewed
with composition aka "beauty shots". Level boundaries included.




Below is a sketch of what one of the beauty shots will look like. A texture overlay helps me decide what textures the different elements of the image will have. Also this is a
way to decide what level of composition will be present at key areas where character stops.

New project (Neo Austin) - 3D production, Colin Blankenship

I. Level Environment and Objects
    A. Basic level layout (3 hours)

Outline                        (2 hours)
