Team Fabrication

Our team has proposed a Fabrication Plan. This plan has been developed from our previous draft fabrication assignment and from the goals and outcomes we hope to achieve.

Using comments from our first presentation and the strengths and weaknesses produced from our whole class, we've based this plan on what will be developed during the rest of this assignment and how we will tackle each task.

Expected Level of Resolution

Environment

• site/terrain
• site research
• materails/textures
• natural plant life
• lighting
• surrounding buildings
• roads and perimeter fencing
• water feature

Model

• structure completed (archicad)
• interior floors and spaces (3dmax)
• materials/textures (3dmax)
• natural plant life on top platforms of model (3dmax)
• lighting - natural and artificial (3dmax)
• light feature (3dmax)

Crysis

• spawn point
• sounds and lighting
• functionality

Timeline and Schedule of Work Outcomes

Team Urbans has outlined a proposed timeline and scheduled tasks. Tasks are delegated to each memeber of the group and a specified timeframe for their tasks are needed for further development of the project.

By week 6:

• we should have the archicad model ready and complete
• A solid start on surrounding buildings and sourced vegetation
• learn how to export from 3dsmax to Crysis succesfully
• pinpoint a map to develop a correct and detailed site

By week 7:

• Export whole model to Crysis
• Start texture of model
• Developing the environment to stage near completion
• Start collecting images and information for presentation
• learn how to use custom textures
• create the surrounding buildings

By week 8:

• Model and Crysis environment complete with all textures and lighting
• Finish developing vegetation and natural environment
• Lighting inside of building exactly how we want, to fully illustrate night sky
• Frap videos so we can make 2 videos
• Update team blog
• Finish and practice presentation
• Write 600 word final fabrication
