Crew Assignment - Projected History

I'm going to be working for two third years projects this term (and next I expect.)
One of which is 'Projected History' directed by Simon Carter.

The aim is to do a 3d mapping projection onto Tremough house (The old building situated in between Darington and Tremough campus.) We will be visually portraying the history of the building alongside references to the ages its been through (ie. the Industrial age.) It's quite an exciting project to work on and interesting to be behind the scenes.

My job so far has involved being part of the pre production team, but has also extended into modelling. Below, I have designed some of the shots for the Animatic.
Tremough house used to be a Nunnery..











Here is a boat I designed which I made an Animatic out of quite simply in Flash. The seagulls are a nice little addition :)



I have now started modelling the boat using the 2d image in the animatic above as reference, along with a couple of photos from the internet to show the front/top viewpoints of the boat. This all helps with the 3d modelling.





For these I have used NURBS as you get nice curves with it and also it is easier to texture then polygons. After speaking with Georg I've realised its now best to convert the NURBS to Polygons in order to join the side with the front. Texturing should still be easier as it transfers the NURBS UVs across. So the model is still in an early stage at the moment.
