Motifs

More Like a Crest than anything else, perhaps it will be shown on a banner.

Will decorate the floor

 

 

Thinking of a way to combine this and the one that resembles a compass.

I started to draw some loose concepts this weekend. I'm not sure where all of them will go yet, and the designs are not final, but I will come back to this while texturing.

A color bookshelf with books varying in size, color and age.

Typical library lights in every isle.

Book carts everywhere.

Library signs.

Water fountains near the bathroom.

Exit doors and signs provide an interesting light.

Desks for cramming, reading, and so much more!

Genre stickers on some books.

Last Friday, I went to both Jen Library as well as the library on Bull ST to get  some reference from real library's. Unfortunately it's apparently illegal to take picture in a library because of terrorism and copyright issues, but I did manage to take some before getting caught. There was also great lighting reference, but I would have to go during a different time of day.

Lighting and Encountering problems

So far, it has been smooth sailing with following my schedule. Although I'm remain on schedule, I'm starting to notice a lot of details that need to be tweaked, such as camera angles and movements, the level of detail in the railing and exterior columns, and possibly even the chairs. In these stills, I applied a light bloom effect which I will apply in nuke.

I am actually thinking about scraping this Camera move, and replacing it with close ups of books and other objects of smaller scale.

Camera Move

The past week I worked on rough camera moves from varying angles, but haven't touched on focusing on certain objects yet. I have also begun to model a few pieces of furniture like tables, chairs, and lamps. It's a slow process and I'm gravitating towards the idea of getting some models online, since I need focus on texturing and lighting. Here are to some of the new models I have finished. I included the hallway from my previous post, except now I've added windows. The model for the window frame was found online at http://archive3d.net/

Blocked Geometry

A general layout of the library made from simple geometry. I plan on changing the columns to simpler design and start creating tables and other props for this scene. Aside from the dome top, I have to create other openings for light such as windows.
