Just getting a feel for the geometry by photographing it from many perspectives. I am drawn to the rear of the building because of the very large surfaces and small apertures. I like a very minimal approach. I am also interested where the interior ends and exterior begins. There are some blurry spaces at the back.

Some sketches evaluating a miami vice / swat team sort of vibe. I think i would like to pursue a cinematic theme.

What a great idea! I love it!

thanks guys

I started modeling my swat agent today. fairly low ploy count as i may want to have quite a few in the my images. texture and simple rigging next. Once i have characters i can work out exactly how they will interact with the space and general furniture.

diffuse and bump map executed in bodypaint. Need to tighten up the details and produce a good specular map.

This is going to be thrilling and exciting! Very creative concept you got there!

Cheers Jeff

I have made some steady progress on my entry and thought it is a good time for an update. My swat agent protagonist is now fully textured. Character work is a little bit out of my comfort zone and it has been good to learn new workflow skills; particularly complex UV mapping. The textures were unwrapped and done In C4D bodypaint and photoshop using a combination of photo textures and normal painting. I also done a basic rig too for posing.

I can now move on to the architecture now and start composing

This is super cool stuff you show us here... I never get to such things - It really nice you can incorporate some none arch workflow into this Challenge. Will be very interesting to see how they play inside the house.
