Final Renders

2008-04-29T14:47:00.000-07:00

Here are my final renders of my building and tracks

Signage

2008-04-14T20:34:00.001-07:00

A sampling of the signs I made (I made more than these, but I thought I'd choose these to show off).

Sign Ref

2008-04-08T03:04:00.000-07:00

Blogger only lets you upload 5 images at a time now? weak.

Still coming along + SIGN REF!!!

2008-04-08T02:56:00.000-07:00

Here's my contribution for the week- more texturing, more detail work on my model. Sign ref in next post.

Detail Work

2008-03-31T20:10:00.000-07:00

Here's how my building is coming along. It's all pretty much in the details phase now...texturing, signage, etc. Ignore the blue ground- that's just my generic ground plane so I know if stuff is lying flush on the ground and to distinguish it from my sidewalk elements.

Work Done Over Spring Break

2008-03-26T18:40:00.000-07:00

Here's what I have so far in my scene (I'm combined my tracks with my building into the same scene file). The textures are by no means complete (obviously), but its coming along. Also, I've rebuilt my building entirely, but haven't changed it too much. Just joined it to the garage structure because I thought it looked cooler that way, and a few other tweaks.

Tracks, pass 2

2008-03-11T15:29:00.000-07:00

Here is the latest look at my tracks. There IS a texture on the tracks, but its been blown out by a read-only environmental sun and sky node in the scene file. The material on the posts is mental ray only, so I had to render using this. The quality is poor because I had to render it on my home computer, but you can at least get a sense of how the layout looks and how I have changed the design of the posts.

Track Layout

2008-03-04T15:13:00.000-08:00

I've put all the tracks in the city. They may still need further work, but this is how I imagine the layout will go.

Track Modules

2008-02-25T19:08:00.000-08:00

I have completed all track modules for the monorail. There are wide tracks that allow two monorails to pass in opposite directions, and single tracks for only one monorail.

The Monorail Station: Main Hub and Parking Structure

2008-02-17T22:50:00.000-08:00

Here's my latest pass at the maquettes: the buildings now have a function as a monorail station and an adjacent parking structure. I applied a glass material to the parking structure to make it clear that there are meant to be glass panes there. The main building will have the same mullions texture as last week's pass (see below).

Also, the revised tracks can be seen as well.

The red cubes are 6' tall and represent people.

Crazy futuristic parking structure

Revisions to Previous Week's Maquettes

2008-02-10T23:39:00.000-08:00

Textures have been added to the building to demonstrate how I would like the mullions to look.

Monorail Maquette

2008-02-01T21:56:00.000-08:00

Here's my monorail maquette.

Round 2 of Maquettes

2008-01-31T13:56:00.000-08:00

Here are some more well-developed building maquettes. I will be adding a monorail maquette as well soon, perhaps along with some reference as well.

Just a bunch of other cool stuff.

Final Installment of Neon Lights and Signs

2008-01-18T10:06:00.000-08:00

At last, the last set of photos. Here are some more diverse and interesting usages of neon and neon signage.

Neon Lights and Signage, Pt. 4

2008-01-18T10:02:00.000-08:00

More lights, more of the same kind of stuff.

Neon Lights and Signage, Pt. 3

2008-01-18T09:56:00.000-08:00

Still more images, continuing the theme of examples from major Asian cities.

Neon Lights and Signage, Pt. 2

2008-01-18T09:48:00.000-08:00

More examples of neon lights and signage, again mostly from Asian cities.

Neon Lights and Signage

2008-01-18T09:32:00.000-08:00

Here are interesting examples of neon signage and lights from around the world, particularly from locations such as Nanjing Road, Shibuya, and Singapore.
