What follows are a series of screen grabs detailing the creation of two rooms in the Tudor House. The 'Green Room', which I am told is the most likely candidate as the master bedroom, and the stair-way outside.

Crib

What follows are a collection of screen grabs for the creation of a key prop for use within the AV132 animatic. The baby's Crib.

The original plan had been to retopologise a pre-existing crib and redesign it. This proved unneeded as the original crib model was inappropriate in comparison to research images of Tudor styled baby cribs.

It was, however, useful in working out the dimensions. Height, length, and width.

Baby Sculpt Screen Grabs

What follows are various screen grabs of my creating the character sculpt of the Baby for our animatic. Given the difficulties of getting clothing folds, I decided to UV Unwrap this texture so that I could do them in photoshop at a later date.
