Creating Harley Davidson 1936

I am currently modeling a 1936 Harley Davidson bike to go into the scene as well, below is a blueprint from the side view and also the model of the bike frame.

Tonights Work

Resource for jeep

Just some more pictures for the jeep, going to try and make it look different from a standard miltary jeep and perhaps off road the vehicle somewhat. Also am using the chassis pictures to model the undercarriage of the vehicle.

Jeep Progress

Have been working on the jeep for the first scene, this is how it looks so far. The wheels are already completed and I shall import them separately.

Jeep Scene

I have come some way in changing the Jeep Scene up somewhat - I want to create the environment in a more cavernous place, using things like crystals - set up with maya HDRI to illuminate most of the scene, perhaps using many blues and purples to colour the cavern and give it an icy feel. I also wish to include something like a waterfall and foliage into the backdrop behind the gateway.

Progress on the jeep is also coming along - and the main base mesh is almost complete. Soon I will get onto detailed and then I can begin progress on creating the texture and such forth.

Some of the pictures to the side show off the kind of colours I want to include - the icy caverns giving off a blue aura, and then also looking at the quartz crystals which always protrude at cool angles and are also very square in dimension.
We have waterfalls giving an idea of different water spray patterns at the base of the falls. I will use these images to create the kind of cavern which will contain the alien gateway. Within this cavern I will place the jeep pointing towards a glowing light coming from the gateway.

Enviroment Idea's

Have been thinking of some environments I could place the vehicles in, such as tanks in Westminster or some form of destroyed buildings from around London, placing a jeep outside one of the alien gateways or perhaps creating an APC facing up against a mech of some sort. Have sketched out a couple of ideas of what they might look like and I may start to develop one of them in MayaAlien Gateway - jeep would be placed in foreground

Army Guy thinking about placing in the gateway scene.

Poster Ideas

Looking in more depth at some ideas for a poster for this piece of work. I was thinking about going along the lines of one of the World War recruitment posters.

Uncle Sam and Kitchener Wants You are some of the most recognizable pictures from that era.



Maybe create one of these photos with the alliance that my tanks and vehicles represent whilst having a picture of the aliens and opposition fraction in the background on either side - or represented by the logo of each?
