Hello All

I am now doing one day projects for fun. Below I will give examples of two one day projects I have completed so far. The goal of the one day project is to get those cool ideas into a 3D picture. I personally want to get off the fence and make some cool art for "fun". So with my 6 days a week I will allocate
2 days were I let my creativity go walk about. Its like getting my dream game ideas out of the head and onto the 3d canvas. Also I can learn some new tricks too :).

The main goal of a one day project is to have a idea from pencil to one picture in under 1 day.
For example a set of coin objects can be done in under 1 day. However this is just a part of the puzzle game. But each part adds up to the whole. Imagine doing 500 parts ! Now that is 500 full time days.
A puzzle game has around 14 major parts then its polish time etc...



The map below was done in under 3 hours today.



My wish list for this one day project.

* Texture maps on tap

I used a few old texture maps to give it some life. Probably next week I am going to do a one day
texture map project as my texture skills are lacking. Also I have to head off to work so I can't spend the extra 4 hours on the texture maps.

I started at 9:30 AM and at 10:00 AM I had the foundatiion down.



At 11:15 AM I had some extra parts placed in.



At 12:00 AM I had all the models completed



At 12:30 PM I added in some textures maps. ( Note these are just imported from old projects)





The Chinese Temple and Pagoda were completed on Friday the 14th 2006.









Next week this map might get done :).

Thank you for the support. Going to do a one day project with T3D next week.
I have 0 exp making 3D models for A+++ engines (so they work in them etc).

Next week I am making a new T3D fighter starship.
At the moment my old beast (hellcat figther made in 1999) is a mess in T3D :).
