1st Artefact - Comparing a still hand-drawn image of an interior space to a 3D virtual walkthrough of an interior space
What was my artefact created to achieve?
I created this artefact to show the audience how the development of 3D software has helped customers visualise the interior of a space (which has not yet been created)at a more efficient fashion. As you can see this is a 3D virtual walkthrough of the interior of a nightclub exploring every aspect of the night club. This is a huge advantage over the traditional hand-drawn still methods as customers can see every corner of the club showing in detail what the furniture looks like, the size and dimensions of the walls, windows etc.
Comparing this to the still hand-drawn image on the bedroom tat you can see here, you have only one view which customers would find harder to visualise what the end result would look like. Example the customer cannot see the back wall, the ceiling or look closer at the detail of the wardrobe, lamp etc. If the customer would want to look at different views of the room the hand drawn artist would have to draw up another image meaning more time and money for the customer.
How did you create it / run your test?
I created a 2 minute walkthrough of a nightclub showing every bit of detail such as the dancefloor, the bar, the ceiling, the walls, the pillars, the speakers etc. I have rendered it fully and made a video compatible to Windows Media player. To fully model, texture and animate the walkthrough it has taken me a total of 7 days to complete and 1 day to render.
How did the artefact add to your understanding?
This artefact has backed up my argument that using 3D software to visualise an interior space to a customer has a lot more advantages than using hand-drawn images. As both methods delivers the same result using 3D lets the customer feel that he or she is actually in the space looking around observing every detail which eliminates the problem of the customer wanting different views of the space.

Bowling Alley Photos
This is what the alley looks like and I am going to create a 3D duplicate of this in a two minutes walkthrough.
The walkthrough will be completed on the 26th March...

Live Client Project - AMF Bowling Alley
This project I am undertaking is to help me learn in the future how to deal with real-life client’s needs and specifications when hiring me to create a piece of visualisation for them. My client’s name is Adam Ogerssy who is the manager of the bowling alley AMF based in Nottingham.
AMF Bowling was founded in America in 1900 and came to prominence in the US launching the first automated pinspotter machine and revolutionising the world of bowling. Then in the 1960s ten pin bowling came to the UK and built many AMF chains such as the one in Nottingham. http://www.amfbowling.co.uk/TOBC/history/default.aspx
I have had a meeting with Adam to discuss what he exactly wants me to do for him and arranged three feedback dates which is a chance for him to see my progress and add any changes he would like doing.
My client has just finished refurbishing the alley with two new bars with food services and other fun activities such as table hockey and pool. This is to attract a wider audience of not only keen bowlers but for people who like to relax and have a meal and a drink. He is hoping it will especially entice more parents in bringing their children for a fun day out.
What my clients wants me to do is to create a 3D walkthrough of the entire bowling alley consisting of two floors with all the brand new facilities built. This will then be uploaded on to their website giving customers the option to see the new bowling alley at the comfort of their own home. This will improve the website massively in terms of attracting customers because the information regarding the venue and the facilities is pretty basic and there are no images for the customers to visualise. With my walkthrough uploaded, this will eliminate all these problems.
My client also wants me to improve the access to the site for people with disabilities as they are building ramps, chair lifts and disabled toilets. This will again attract a whole new audience.
