27/02/2019 Communications An email was sent to Dean in regards to the music file that was sent previously, to send another copy so the group could listen to that latest work. Fig 170 - Email. Another email was sent to our contact at a games company, in regards to using their equipment and studio for caption motion for the characters animation. Fig 171 - Email. Fig 172 - Email. Fig 173 - Email. The last email was sent to Connor Burdett as he had requested an updated model of the house to check scale. Fig 174- Email.

26/02/2019 Modelling Continued Today focused on creating the mine shaft entrance, two axes and the shed.  The shed design will be a crossover between figures 158 and 159.  This can be seen in figure 160.   Fig 158 - Shed.   https://www.pinterest.co.uk/stewartmarr/shed/ .   Fig 159 - Shed.   https://www.pinterest.co.uk/stewartmarr/shed/ . Fig 160 - Shed. The next addition was the mine shaft entrance.  This was loosely based off the image in figure 161.  As with the shed, as basic block out is only required at this stage as detail will be added during the texturing phase.   Fig 161 - Mine shaft entrance.   https://www.pinterest.co.uk/stewartmarr/mineshaft/ . Fig 162 - Mine shaft entrance.   The last items to be created were the two axes.  One being a wood cutting axe and another pick axe to go along side the mine theme within the games back story.  These two items were based off images seen in figures 163-165.  Figures 163 and 164 were used to aide creat

25/02/2019 Modelling Continued Further additions to the house saw the implementation of railings to the roof area of the porch to add to the 19 century architecture, as seen in figure 151.  This was done on the advice of a tutor to add a Gothic element of architecture to the the house. Fig 151 - Railings. The group also discussed the appearance of the axe, mine shaft entrance and shed.  There will be two axes, one wood cutting axe as seen in figure 152 and a miners pick axe, seen in figure 153, to match the theme of the backstory with the wealthy family owning the a mine pit.

The mine shaft entrance will have a wooden frame embedded into the landscape, as seen in figure 154, with additional plant overgrowth, as seen in figure 155, as part of the abandoned backstory.  .

24/02/2019 House Model C ontinued Today saw the final editions to the house model before continuing onto the UV process and then texturing to begin.  However, before the final editions could be added, a resolution needed to be found for the stretching of faces for the window assets when rotated.  A search on YouTube ensued, looking through different videos which might have the answers to resolve this problem.  Initial thoughts, were that the faces might have been doubled, however, this proved not to be the case.  Suggestions from the advised that the faces needed to be reversed.  However, this proved not be the answer either.  Another possibility could be that the axis rotation needed changing on the model, from world to object or component.  This proved not to be the case either.  One of the course tutors, Mathew Dodd, suggested that it could be that constraint option required turning off.  Taking this option as a possibility and looking at YouTube videos, https://www.youtube.com

21/02/2019 Modelling  Continued Today involved adding further detail and last elements to the house model.  The first element to be worked on was the chimney pots.  Having already seen example of chimney pot design from the 19th century in figure 95, it was decided to keep to this design.  The design is simple to create and research through Pinterest images would suggest it was a popular design fro the period, however, there it should also be noted,chimney pot design from this period is extensive and not subject to one design.  Using a similar image from figure 95, some more images were added to the chimney mood board on Pinterest to be used a reference images for the chimney pot.  The images used as reference images are in figure 97 and 98.
