CBM Tank

The main reason why I made lab was that I wated to use it as background for final renders of the tank with bacteria in the middle of the room.

Maybe a bit irrational thinking.. anyway

I Decided to start with building an actual tank so I have the ''core'' element of my environment


I named it CBM tank... which will be part of CBM unit/module... Device used for [controlled bacteria multiplication] - I sort of made up this term but it sounds right for what is an actual purpose of this device

New start

So it has been decided.... I'm making enviroment and 3D assets for animation

I think animation is much better way to tell a story

but this scene with few milions of polygons is almost imposible to render

 so probably need a new scene, I will deffinitelly reuse the models from this lab but there wont be that many of them, because I will rather have finished and detailed objects than tons of grey models
all my research from last semester is focused at bacteria and viruses and the way they can be used to enhance human body....


byt when I look at my renders I don't see anything that would tell what's happening there

Here again

Lately I was more thinking about how do I wanna continue in my work rather than actually doing something.

I realized that the lab I created is nat what i was actually planning to do

Depth of field

Deus Ex: Human Revolution title sequence


Next step

        I was thinking what should I do next, and what to focus at in this semester. Since the beginning I was planing to make a short video showing the lab. Also the models in the scene are quite hi-res so I don't think It would be a good idea trying to make it look like one level of the game.


        I was looking at some animations ( game intros and short films) and I noticed that they never show the whole scene. They rather blur the background and play with tepth of field to make the important objects stand out.
        And I'm going to do the same. If I wanted to finish my scene I cand spen a year or longer modeling hundrids of objects to fill out every bit of empty space.
        Or I can focus on the important and spend time finishing, and detailing objects that I really want to stand out.

Scene from First semester

Here is seven final renders or my Lab scene... unfortunately, I did not manage to finish by the end of first semester. But I am quite happy that I managed to give it the final shape, It is not textured yet but I know what do I need to do next to finish the scene
