Outer Space Outpost

By Ian Sutherland T-340 Fall 06

This scene is a combination of a few projects I worked on throughout the fall semester 06. This scene includes an outer space military compound on a Mars like planet; it also includes a robotic warrior that has seen some battle damage. The overall appearance of the scene is supposed to look like it has been left decaying for sometime. The texture maps are to look rusty and worn.

My inspiration for this project has come form a few different sources. As a kid I always loved Sci-fi movies like Star Wars. My ideas for the buildings came from those movies. For the robotic warrior my inspiration came form TV shows like Transformers.

My ideas for this project are pretty straightforward; I really just wanted to create an environment like you would see in a video game or in a movie. I am happy with what I have come up with and am excited to keep working with Maya in the future. In further projects I hope to perfect my texture mapping skills as well as my modeling.

I hope that people enjoy this scene as much as I enjoyed making it. Some times I had a hard time and wanted to quit but all in all I am happy with what I have created and hope others are too.
