Getting my new model moving: (Animation)

View inside the 'tunnel' developing

Material/Colour: Hand drawn pencil & ink texture. 

To push this even further I am going to explore duplicating the model 

and creating a world full of these 'tunnel like vortexes' 

spinning un-controllably in space. 

Troubles & Remakes: 

 

I have decided to start my model from scratch in CryEngine, although still importing the 'Datum' conept from SketchUp. I chose to do this because, my work deleted from week 10 and I started to get attached to my model as I had spent so many weeks on it so wasnt playing and trying new things to explode the model and make the inhabiting a bigger deal. The new model I feel has more potential to meet the brief and explore 'space.' The new uploads of the model being developed through SketchUp into CryEngine are in the posts above..

My thoughts:

I enjoyed this lesson because it was good to go back through this project starting from scratch and for me, realising how much I have learnt and the new skills I have that I wasn't exploring and pushing concepts further in my other model. The key thing I would like to take from this lesson would be to use my own hand-drawn texture on my final model, also I think I am at a point where I need to 'critique' and 'analyse' my model so that I am still 'playing & practicing' with CryEngine and aiming for a high standard of a final outcome.

100 Words:

My design intentions and where I want to go from here. 

I have been struggling with the new software of CryEngine and figuring out how to accomplish things that I want my model to do or look like. From here i want to be able to 'step' inside my model and actually 'inhabit' it as right now it seems to be only floating in space! I also want to start placing the lights more structurally within my model and start to move these lights in sequence through it. 

The animation of the model I have already started learning about and want to push this further to really explore how this thing can be moved as i want it to be really weird like and almost flying at you through this digital game engine/ movie clip.
