Mini visualisation project

Had a load of texturing problems (like with anything else I work on) and I couldn't get parts of it modelled right, but it's the best I can do and it's finished ^^

I chose to recreate the old bandstand in the arboretum, 'cause I like its design, even if it can't be used anymore.

Here's the original photo I took.


And here's my version (looking way worse, but realistic recreation is something I've never been good at).
The colours are a little off (which is strange because I created textures from that photo) and I couldn't model the railings right, but I think I did pretty well considering I've never done anything like this before.

Will post the games design work soon.

Visualisation Designs

Part two of my project work, so here's my visualisation designs.

I decided to recreate a piece of scenery I have seen in a dream, to try and improve my skills in properly representing what I have seen in my head so other people can see it.

My first idea was a dreamworld I used to visit a lot, but in all honestly, I found it too personal to me to try and recreate it for projectwork.

I decided one one of the scenic areas I had seen, one of which being two parts of a ruined castle on either side of a road, completely isolated from anything else.
Another idea I had was a large square in the middle of a village, with some kind of statue/monument in the center.
I wanted to go with the castle ruins, but I didn't think there was enough to it, so I tried mixing scenery from another dream with it. The valley would've been too difficult to recreate in 3DS Max and I was told I didn't need to make it overly complicated.

I did some more concept ideas for my castle ruins.

And some speedpaints, which is something I really needed to practise. I've never been too good creating an image quickly on a single layer.Here's the finished walkthrough.


Also, my visualisation side project isn't going to be posted as soon as I'd hoped, I'm having major texturing problems.

Visualisation Sketchbook

Oops, I did it again, didn't I? I've seen a load of stuff I could post on here, but it never really clicks to link it here.

First of all, here are the pages from my visualisation sketchbook



And here's my finished video
