Project Start

On Monday the 18th of November we met with Rod from Icono design and the rest of the Icono Design team and discussed what was required of us and to give some form of expectations for the client we came up with this design brief

Design Brief

Stakeholders

Rod McMullen – Director of Icono Building Design – Client

Josh Horsley – Project Lead/3D Artist

Jaren Wilson – 3D Artist

Douglas Dean – 3D/Texture Artist

Overview

Using floor plans provided by the client, we will build a virtual 3D model of a planned building project, create photorealistic renders of the model for display purposes, and also develop an interactive simulation where the respective client can “walk” through the building project to gain a sense of scale, and aid them with deciding on finer details.

We will be completing this project using a number of different applications, primarily using Blender for the modelling and texturing stages, along with producing renders of the project, and Unity to develop the simulation. We will also be sourcing a panoramic image of the site in order to create an image-based lighting setup, of which we will require access to the building site.

The purpose of this project is primarily educational, with the project potentially included in our portfolios, and to gain experience working with a real-world client.
