Daily Update 5-27-0

Beginning a series of daily updates between now and the end of the project, which is now approaching pretty rapidly.

The current milestone due 5-28-09 was to include evaluation and refinement of assets created to date, and evaluation of the town structures to build new interiors as necessary.

Refinement continues on existing assets.

  • Objects such as telegraph poles and streetlights have been repositioned and duplicated throughout the town.
  • The most recent landmark structure, the schoolhouse, has had windows and doors cut into it to add a greater level of detail to the model.
  • A second saloon, the Dog's Head Saloon, has been added, with a fully furnished interior.
  • Created and refined a balcony railing for the Dog's Head Saloon interior.
  • Created and added a billiards table and roulette table to the Dog's Head Saloon interior.
  • Duplicated table and chairs from the existing saloon and moved them to the Dog's Head.
  • Adjusted the size of the dog's head in the Dog's Head Saloon to be more realistic in size.
  • Re-modeled a livery stable based on the design of the existing layout, to facilitate easier creation of interior, and optimize the geometry.
  • Added interior to the livery stable, with loft and office area.
  • Added additional watering trough to the corral behind the livery.

Overall, the 5-28-09 milestone has been partially met. While I did not specify an exact number of new interiors to add, only two (the Dog's Head Saloon and the livery stable) were added. With better time management, I should have been able to complete an interior for the Sheriff's Office/Jail and the Schoolhouse.

With one milestone remaining to primarily create "decoration" assets -- props, etc -- for the town to finish fleshing out the details, I will be working in time to add an interior for the Sheriff's Office for this milestone. A large number of incidental props have been created throughout the project, lightening the load for this milestone. This will provide time to do an additional interior and still finish up the remaining props/decorations.

Will post back tomorrow with the next update.
