1. FirstlywhenIstartedmymodel,Ichange the pre-setstothe one I’musedto and thenafter I did this
I started the initially designing of my model following my design pack.
When I first started I decided to start with the bottom layer so I had a mind set on the size of the
model and how large everything would be within it. Once creating the floor piece I then started
addingbasic shapes to represent the basic idea of how I want the buildings to be placed and how I
want them shaped.
2. Once creatingthe basic outline andshapesjustusing modular blocks which I would then just resize
and scale to what I need, after creating these I then went on to start design the more complex
shapes and set them out the way I want them.
On thisstage I had all the basicshapesfor the buildingslayoutandIhad startedon createdthe wall I
needed to surround my park, which I will then go on to model in greater detail to add the realism
feature I desire to make my model look realistic.
On thisone I startedto add more detail tothat fastfoodparlourto make It lookmore realisticand
attractive whenlookingatit.I chose thisdesignbecause Ilike the lookof how the roof overhangs
the outside diningarea.
3. Afterprogressingonthe shape of the fastfoodparlourI decidedtostart workingonthe outside
diningareaby creatingwoodenpicnicbenches.TodothisI usedan image of a benchas a backdrop
and trace the outline soIcouldthe precise measurements.
The nextthingI startedto create was a multiple storycarparkinthe centre,to dothis I useda bass
layeras a floorthenmultipliedittomake the differentfloorsthenusingthe box tool Icreatedthe
pillars.Tocreate the ramps I useda stencil tomark out the shape andtheninsertedmyrampwhichI
createdusingthe box tool againand justapplyingdifferenttoolstoit.
4. Thenonce completingall the mainstructuresforthe car park,I thenaddedwallstomake it look
more like a finishedproduct;Once againIdidthisusingthe box tool andthenjustresizingitto the
size thatI required.
Once completingthe carpark the nextmodel Istartedtowork on,was myburgershop basedinthe
corner of my map,to complete thisfirstlyImade asimplybox usingthe create taband thenonce my
mainstructureswas upI was thenable tobuilditup usingthe texttool to complete the name of the
shop,followedbyduplicate abenchIhad made earlierinthe productionstage.Once Ihad all the
itemsinthe suitable place Iwasthenable to texture thembyaddingsurfacesfromthe pre-setpanel
and UV mapswhere required.
The nextthingI wantedtocomplete wasthe park layoutandthe basketball courtswithinthe park,
to do this,the firstthingI didwaslayoutthe floorplanmy addingsimple rectanglestoshow where
the basketball courtswouldbe placed.Once completing thisIthendidthe walkwayandthe grass
withinitbyaddingplanesof texturessurfacestomarkoutthe floor,togetthe shape I didto make it
looklike thiswasbyusingthe pentool and drew where Iwant the path to be placed.Tocomplete
the basketball courtsIfirstlyplacedaUV map on the rectangle thenfoundasuitable image that
couldrepresentthe court.To complete the basketball hoopsIusedsimple shapesandthenusing
5. multishiftandthe bevel tool Iextendedandcurvedthisshapestocome upwiththe correct shape
for a hoop.
To finishoff the parkthe last model Icreatedwithinitwasa small playareain the corner,to create
thisI usedthe create tab again to come up witha basicstructure and thenafterthisI startedto
move,bendandresize piecestocome upwiththe slatedwalkways,pointedroofsandthe steel
slide.Once againIcreatedand usedsurfaceschosenfromthe pre-setpanel tocreate awoodeffect
for the structuresanda shinymetal effectonthe slide.
The nextsetof modelsIseton completingwere the twoapartmentblocksplacedoneachside of
the map, firstlyIstartedoutby usinga rectangle andthenbevellingitouttomake the arch style
brinkinthe middle.SecondlyIstartedtodo the windows,atfirstI foundthisto be a bit trickyas the
drill tool wouldn’tcreate the polygonscorrectlysoaftermessingaroundwiththatIfounditeasierto
justtake the knife tool andcut outthe polygonsindividually.Tocreate the window view IusedUV
maps foundinthe map tab withinmodeller,bydoingthisItookan image of google andplacedit
withinmymodel tomake itlookmore realistic.
6. AfterCompletinghe mainapartmentsblocks,the nextmodel Iwasgoingtocreate wasthe bank
locatednearthe centre nextto the carpark, thiswasn’ta veryhard model tocomplete asitonly
tooka fewbevel movementstoreshape the rectangle tothe shape Iwantedtocreate.Once I had
completedthe mainshape of it,all Ihad to thendo wastexture the surfaceswithmaterialsIfound
withinthe pre-setpanelandthenthe buildingwasfinished,Alongwithaddingthe textinfinally.
Aftercompletingthe bankstructure,IdecidedthatIwasgoingto try and complete everybuildingto
a suitable level sothathalf of my map wasincomplete,soafterdecidingthis,Ithenmovedonto
creatinga supermarketbasedoppositethe bank,thiswasn’taveryhard task,it justgot a little bit
fussywhenthe drill tool wouldn’tcreate whatIwanteditto so I had to go backto usingthe knife
tool to cut out shapes.
7. For the nextbuildingIwasgoingtocomplete Itookideasfroma buildinglocatedinManchester
calledthe Hilton,Ichoose thisbecause Ilike the designof the otherhangingfront.Itwasn’ttoo
difficulttocreate this asit wasverysimilartothe otherandonlyinvolvedafew steps,whichIhave
done manytimesbefore soIwas gettingusedtothe toolsand whattheydo now.
For my nextbuildingdesignIdecidedthatIwouldgofor a moderndesignwithacontainerstacked
buildingdesign,to dothisdesignIfirstlystartedoff withjustasquare base and thento create the
stackingeffect,Ifirstlycreatedarectangle,thenjustcopiedandpastedthemtomake the stacking
design.
8. Thiswas the lastset of apartmentsI created,Ijust usedthe same techniquesandtoolsasIdidwith
the otherset of apartments, bysimplymulti-shifting,bevellingandreshapingittil Iget the correct
shape.
