Connah Tilley created a production log for their final major project of building a map for Call of Duty. Over the course of two months, Connah conducted research on player preferences, developed a map concept, created 3D models and added textures and details to the map. Updates were provided in the log on progress such as starting the base map layout, adding environmental details, and finishing touches. The project concluded with rendering the completed map, though technical issues prevented a full fly-through render.

I have started the main production of mymap; I created the base outline of my map. (This includes roads, turns, route and ground).Updated my schedule and production log.
Began developing the model at the first 1/3
rd
of the route. Adding trees, houses, cars, street lamps, and more detail.Updated my schedule and production log.
Started adding detail into the 2/3
rd
of the map, including Cars, Trees, and Fences.
I am trying to complete Option one: Completed Model so I have a fall back in place.Updated my schedule and production log.
Started building the final 3
rd
of the map, adding houses, cars, trees and more small details. I’m trying to finish my map in the next week so I have enough time to add textures into
it, as well as a backup in case something bad happens.Updated my schedule and production log.
I have been building up the background houses to give the effect of more houses while flying through the map on layout.Updated my schedule and production log.
I am adding in more cars. Lamp posts, trees, fences, gates and bushes into the map to give the realistic city effect.Updated my schedule and production log.
Began to develop the buildings editing them to make them fit in with the surroundings, developing the look and feel of the houses.Updated my schedule and production log.
Finishing up on the 3D model, double checking the look and feel of the final map. Deciding on the lighting, sky and floor of the map. Updated my schedule and production log.
I have Finished off the last few small details to the map before rendering it out and creating my Evaluation.
I began rendering today while I created my evaluation, however, the render failed and didn’t give me my full final piece fly through, so I have had to do screen shots of the map
including all the main parts of the map to show my project manager what the map looks like, without the fly through. Updated my schedule and production log and finished my
evaluation.
Double checked on all of my work, Updated my production log and schedule, and uploaded all my work onto my blog and onto moodle.
