Progress

Although the group planned to bring together all modeling aspects ready to begin animation, unfortunately this did not come to fruition. This was primarily because the modeling has taken longer than we expected. As such, we decided to bring together all of our models so far, to see how things look at present. The image below shows our current progress:

As you can see from the image above the modeling process is nearly complete, however some parts are yet to be completely finished. Over the past week each member of the group has been pursuing each section they have been assigned.

Aaron Cracknell: Finished modeling the bass unit of the model and some parts of the middle area that will later be animated. Some textures and colours applied.

Richard King:Experimenting with textures, specular and bump mapping on the wheel object. Finished modeling the small metal pots which are attached to the steam pump in numerous places.

Stuart Norton:Finished modeling the right side of the steam pump.

Tom Robinson: Nearly completed the left side of the steam pump, including all pipes, dials and levers. Small section left to finish modeling.

 The group decided that as we couldn't complete all aspects of the modeling by this week, due to the complicated shapes needing more time to model properly with detail.As well as trying to finish off the rest of the modeling, we experimented with textures on some of the objects.
Texturing and hopefully some animation will be started next Thursday in the tutorial, by then we hope to have completed modeling all the objects and bringing them all together into one file so we can attach everything together and begin texturing, applying bump and specular maps.
