Environment finished

The environment has been being worked on for a while and has been taking a back set every 5 minutes for something else. Considering there wasn't to much left to do on it, i have got the remaining UV mapping and modeling finished in less than a day, considering ive had most of the creative control over the look of this film, i have laid out the environment in a way i feel will best suit the story! A majority of it has been modeled myself, but me good mates ash, Desmond and jenny have modeled the following :

Ash - Menus, Reserved Signs
Desmond - Lights, Cutlery, Espresso machine, Till, Pots
Jenny - Plants

next things on the list are texturing, and establishing render settings! As you can see i have been playing around with ambient occlusion in these renders below, it is a a render setting that i will experiment more with for the final look of the film!

Desmonds old man done

Des's Old man is now textured! after an intense amount of stress surrounding him i might add! Looks good though! one of the UV texture maps is shown with the rendershot. The next thing to do is establish some render settings for the film.

Schedule!

I also forgot to add that a schedule has been drawn up by the group. Although we all contributed, a majority of it has been produced by Ash and Desmond.

The interior

Back from dissertation hell, and back on track. Here is three days worth of modeling on the interior environment! it is as far as i can go at the moment as we need to meet up this coming Wednesday to block out the interior so that ash can begin some basic animation will me and desmond go away and actually place the assets in their rightful spot.
