Here is my Gantt chart of the times and a brief description on what I had to complete throughout the weeks.


Here are my two presentation renders of my scene with the forklift I think that this is the best angle for the forklift as it gets all the best areas of the forklift.


Above is showing a problem that I had when putting the materials onto the forklift as some sides of the forklift were very light compared to the other areas, to fix this I had to go back into maya and fix some of the face normals to make sure that they were pointing the correct way.

Here is a quick look at what angle I am trying to go for when rendering using UDK, I like this angle however I might experiment with other angles when getting the final render. Obviously this scene isn't finished yet as it needs to be cleaned up and also have the materials applied to all the objects.

Above is a shot of my forklift which I have reworked in order to add the changes and adjustments that I needed due to some feedback. I have lengthened the rear of the forklift to try and get rid of the box look that the forklift was before. Also I have added roof bars rather than just having a normal roof and trying to texture the bars onto it. 


The shot above shows a quick little render of the new forklift with the diorama to try and look for a good angle for the final render.

Above is the finished scene, I have added a few more outer walls in order to complete the diorama to have an enclosed feel. I then went on to add some dust and dirt to the floor and the bottom areas of the other things in the scene. In addition I have added my forklift in just to give the feel of the finished product however I still have a few more things that I want to do to my forklift, such as redoing some of the texture.


I have added a few textures to the scene and its coming to life with the colours just breaking up the scene. I think that I need to make sure that I put dirt on the floor texture so that its not all the same colour.
