Throughout these weeks I have developed my models for my terminal and started on the control desk. First, I worked on my origonal terminal to optimise the topology and visually improve it. I changed the screen shape and made the border of the creen bigger and more shaped to the terminal itself.
I then started working on the control desk. I wanted to make the topology simple to ensure no problems with UVs and to decrease the heaviness of my overall model. I started with a cube and with mukti cut, edge loops and extrusion, created the base simple shape for my control desk.
I then added a brushed metal standard surface to my desk work with termporarily.
I then added more small details to my terminal consisting of buttons to fill in empty space before I moved onto adding details to my control desk and panels.
To start with the details, I created simple buttons and lights to various places on the desk. I also used extrusion to create panels on the back of the desk.
I then added mini screens to the control desk. I wanted to make this model to be the centre of the ‘technology’ aspect for the room, so details like this are exactly what me and the group had in mind for this model.
I implemented these by duplicating the screen oof my termonal and sizing it down for aesthetic consistency.
I then began to change the texturing of the screen. I wanted a different visual media for these screens so I used an oscillator screen. This fits into a lo-fi aesthetic and gives variety to the technology within my model.
This model will definately need more details and proper texturing before submission. Our next group meeting is next weeek where I will predent my model to the CGI lead and progress with any feedback.
