What do I like?
I like the idea of creating a bus; this can be used within games and environments, such as a city or town high street, or a bus depot. This has a lot of use after making the bus as well. Once I have made one type of bus i would be able to make more variations of the bus or different buses altogether.
I like that if I choose this idea by the end of this i would have made a bus to a high standard that can be used in games and envriomaents this bus that I have chosen also allows me to look at making this panel by pannel
What do I not like?
I have my concerns that I might not be able to complete this within the window given to do this. The core reason for this is I lack the skills needed for this based on the type of bus I have chosen to make, however i might be able to make the more basic version of the bus, the ALD E400, but this bus does not have the same modern look to it and will look boring by itself however for a project at home on my own time this might be a good starting point.
textureing due to complex curves on this bus, making the textures for this might take me longer than I have to complete this
Variation of "Market Competition"?
So far, after looking on art station i have found that the type of buses I want to make are not on there; however, games such as OMSI 2 and Bus Sim 27(upcoming) have made this so there is a gap in the market for this. However, the addon for this on Steam for OMSI 2 is selling for around 13.99
Visual Reference?
This section will also cover screenshots that may be off topic, but will also give more context to the above
And below the last screen shot i wil;l talk in more detail about the bus I want to make
i will be using images of the first bus, part of the first group, as they have a large number of ALD E400 MMC's coving single and double door
