Progress

I have just assigned some lighting to the room , such as the lamp will have a certain light to like an direct one so that it just lights up the area around the lamp, where as the main light will be an omni light as this lights up most of the room.
I also want some light coming from the babies mobile, so I could use some direct lighting with different colours coming off it to make this effect.


I am also still collecting images as I go along with my planning, this will help keep all my ideas fresh so i have pictures of all the ideas i have had, I am also gathering pictures for a big mood board.


I think my progress is good, I am collecting lots of pictures of objects and my ideas are fresh in my mind I know what I want to do within the room, including colours, textures and lighting.
The lights it hink would work the best would be omni lights, one in the center of the room will light up the main aspects, one that would be placed in the lamp would light up the corner adding shadows to the models giving the room a more realistic feeling.

Progress

I have produced my research within my sketchbook , I have gathered a wide range of pictures of objects that I want to reflect within my room ones such as cots, mobiles, wardrobes, drawers and toy box, I have also gathered pictures of some colours that i would like to see within my room as it is a little girls room i gathered some pink tabs with different colour shades on them. I gathered some textures of wood I would like to use for the wooden object such as the cot and the flooring.

I have also produced a large moodboard to represent my ideas,it includes pictures of cots, teddies, changing tables, tables, chairs and other objects that I wanted to create.
i also included on the mood board some simple colour ways of the pinkish colours i decided to use within the room.
I have just started designing some floor plan layouts experimenting with the different places that the object could go to create the best effect within the room. This wil help me dipict where the lighting is best to go within my room.

I think my progress is good for the second session of planning work. I have a good idea of what I want to create.

Proposal

In this project I have to produce a room and 10 objects using 3Ds max, I have chosen to do a babies room this will include a babies cot, table, wardrobe, mobile, bean bag, rocking chair, lamp, changing table and a toy box all these things will be made in 3d.

 I chose this idea because I don’t think any one else would have chosen it, I think it will be an individual idea and the furniture is relatively easy to create.
I plan to use my own ideas for the plan of them room as well as my own colour scheme I have also decided that I will do a baby girls room.

I am going to use the techniques I have been taught to make the models look realistic, by adding meshes, morphing shapes and adding textures, The reason I want to do this room is because I want to put my own stamp and use some fresh ideas to make a really groovy babies room.

The problems that may occur are ones such as software dysfunction, software could freeze making me loose time on my designing, other things such as loosing work or problems with the computers.

The things I could do to prevent this from happening are to make sure I save my work on a regular basis and back it up on either my laptop or a hard drive and get as much work done as possible while in college doing the work.

Another thing that could affect my work on this project is if I was to be off ill, but I have prepared myself for this by using a plan of time on what I am doing each lesson so if I was to miss a session then I would have a time slot to catch up.

By the end of the project I want to have made a fresh faced room with cool furniture that could represent a relaxing but fun baby’s room.

Schedule for Project

Schedule for 3D Project

Sessions	Plan
1-5	Tutorials, basic skills of 3Ds max using different tools to improve skills.
6-7	Planning, draw out ideas, start drawing up plans for room, gathering research. Ready to start producing
8	Start practical working, getting basic design done in the software.
9	Start developing the room with more detail adding in objects to make it look realistic.
10	start finishing up making last few changes if needed, making sure everything looks the way I wanted it to ready for hand in.
