Initial Proposal - Late upload as i deleted the original on the blog by accident)

Proposal - 3D model room diorama

Overview of my idea - 

For my subject specialism I would like to create two completely different rooms, both will be in 3ds
max. I want one room to be fantasy based and the other to be a sci-fi theme, I just want to try and
expand on my modeling skill and concept art. The final look of both of the rooms should be a detailed
environment with some sound elements and some animation that i can do because they will be in
3ds max. 

The end goal would be to show off a pleasing and interesting environment that also feels alive with
possible interactive elements like foley and animation. I also want to try and expand my skills in
different areas like animating texturing.

What will each room look like?

I think the sci-fi room idea will be set in an apartment block that will hopefully invoke similarities to the
Blade Runner or Total Recall movies. As this would be an apartment it would have a very personal
feel and gives me room to experiment with the dystopian sci-fi theme. The basic layout of the
apparent would be things like the bedroom and kitchen and how that would make it look like
someone lives there. This also gives me some interesting choices of sounds and lighting to use,
maybe it's raining outside and the neon signs of the sci-fi city can be seen reflected into the room.
Some idle animations that i could have in the room would be maybe a computer turning on and off or
a door opening and closing. 

The second room will be fantasy based, I've thought about a couple of options such as a wizards
experiment room or maybe the personal quarters of some king or queen. Both of these options have
interesting sounds and models that I can create, lighting could be more natural than that of the sci-fi
room so that will be a challenge by itself. There are plenty of different animations that i can use for
both of these room ideas, such as the different wizard experiments or maybe the curtain drapes in the
royalty bedroom slowly moving with the wind. 

What will I need to make?

The programs that I will mainly be using 3ds Max as this would allow me to model and texture and
animate my rooms. It's key that I make each model and texture look as best as my abilities will allow
so this will be the main focus for me. The lighting is also another aspect that I will be able to
experiment with. Because i will be using two different programs i can experiment with both lighting
systems to see what results i can accomplish.

Sound design is also a big part of this as i want each of the rooms to feel alive so having the correct
sound that matches up to the visuals is very important. If i can do the animation it will be short but i
hope to show the function of the room and develop my animating skills. 

At the end of the assignment I want to have two good looking rooms that have been completely
modeled from scratch.I also want to see if i can create small animations for both of the rooms. I also
want to test out some cloth modifiers in 3ds Max so that it would be a seperate video for me to render
of how well I can get that to work. 

The pre production would consist of:

• Research 
• Concept Art for the assets that i will be creating 
• Model Sheets 
• Blog of work done 
• Collecting Textures to use
• Collecting sounds to be used
• Mood board for both rooms
• Storyboard for animations
• Level Maps (Rough)
• Level Maps (Photoshop) 
• Script and shot list for the 3ds max animation

The production stage would consist of:

• 3D Modeling of assets and construction of the rooms in 3ds max
• Animating the room
• Blog of work done 
• Texturing and lighting in both rooms 
• Rendering different views of the rooms
• Animating a short video for both rooms to show off the design
• Creating an Animatic using the storyboard for both rooms

The post production stage would consist of: 

• Sound design 
• Finished animations
• Presentation 
• Blog of work done 
• Evaluation 
• Video for each of the rooms
