Production - daily updates 

This will show the timeline of work I have done 

Making the bus shed V1 

This was made using the Boolean tool and the cutting tool to form the roof. I made one side and then used the Duplicate Special tool, which will make a copy right next to it, making both sides of the shed as well as keeping all the faces in the right way. This is very important when it comes to Unreal Engine, as this will make it easier when working with textures

Adding the road 

Note : the below has drop down sections to keep the webistes look claen and easy to read!

End of page this section contains links to key websites and pages however this can also be found on the Harved refrancing page.

Curving Fence

What I needed to research to complete my model 

The main thing that I was researching was how to get a mesh to follow a curve (what is a curve in Maya?)

As you can see in the screenshots below, this will show you how to use the CV (Curve tools)

In the ribbon bar, you will see a list in order from left to right: File, Edit, Create, Select, etc. You will want to click on Create 

Then a drop down will open (As see in the left most screenshots) . The you can over over the Curve Tools and a new window will populate to the right hand side of the drop down 

Below is a screen recording that i have taken 

The cruvered fance final product this was complated using the maya sweep mesh tool this was found after a lot of youtube vidoes being watch and i found this by chanse as well 

moving onto making the depot final product 

This stage screenshots will mostly cover unreal engine and a litte part of maya and will show over time how much had been chagned 

deport land layout and tress 

This is the junction with the fancing and trees with the textuers made in substance painter and smapler 3D this took some time making however the end product was not that bad however there was still more i can do to improve this however this was one of the ebst textuers i have made .

and this is the other junction i made with the textuer i also made in the same way again however i did not like this one as much however it dfid look more like how you would expect to see this in real life 

this next part of the depot was the part that took a lot of working out and had i planned this better might not of took so long to get right as you can see in the screenshot above i made this textuer in substance painter this took a lot of guess work and this is way this did not look really good however the outof aside the textuer did noit load very well in unreal engine and thus was not a good use for the depot so i had to go and replan this 

replaning the depot floot textuer 

In my replan i workedout for the road makings i can makie this a decal next i took the texter made in substance painter to removed all the white raod makings and made it a titlble texter so it will work on chunks of the deport land 

this is the plan layout for the depot floor as you can see the diffrent chunks i have used diffrent colours in maya to keep it claer what is for what

this is the final depot floor made out of asphalt and the road has had a redo as well keeping the texture in a nice clean and easy to see layout after this i now have to work on laying out the decals how this was made is buy using photoshop making a blackline with a white background and flipping the colours in unreal so the black goes into the alpha channel turning what same the black is translsent 

using the translucent and decal drop down in the materials editor in unreal i can then plug the RBG channel into the base colour and the alpha into the opacity channel making thew decal I need this saved me a lot of time over using the trail and error mothered i was doing with substance painter 

due to running out memory in unreals texter streaming pool being set to the max i found this also saves some of that for other parts of unreal engine 

looking back to the blockout i talked about the main building and working on the insdie however this did not end happing i did some of the inside but this was aslo a issue with running out of memmory with adding the trees however i felt the trees are more important 

however this is the inside i added a platerboard wall with the final redner form last ayers FMP edited in photshop to add some bardning for this bus depot i flet this was a nice addtion to this project as it fits in with the transport them and i had this work wit the door in the wall with lining the image up with the gap . 

the eletric bus charging charing station this is based of weston supermaers deports chaging kit however i made my own one with steps to walk to so you can drop the power cables down and again i have gone for minmlistic moden industal designe to this 

This is what the charging bays look like when rendered and i feel the trees add a nice touch but something i need to reflect on
