New Final Model

Utopia by Dustmittens on Sketchfab

Model Update

The critique Mason and I went through last Monday was very helpful. We received a lot of great stuff, but most notably that it seemed out concept was confusing and muddled. So we have taken this week to start from scratch and rework our concept and model in order to push what kind of message we want to get across. This gave us some new found inspiration and really allowed us to zero in and push an idea. We decided that we wanted to push into a world that is entirely dependent on oil as an energy source.

Augmented reality update!

We are arriving at the last stages of our model and will be spending the majority of the rest of the semester working on getting it to map right in real space. We will are working on getting a couple more ads into the model, just figuring out placement.

We would like to depict a civilization just before the apocalypse happens.
