Brainstorm 2

I’m still working on my church, but I think I might try to do some of my physical work for my thesis since I’m a bit behind on that. I’ve been working intermittently on my painting and my charcoal piece for the thesis, and they’re a bit slow-going since I’m not really a painter. The painting is a child’s hand holding a doll in a dollhouse, and it's basically referencing the gendered expectations that are imposed on young girls.

For the church, I’m currently working on modeling the architecture. I’m facing a problem with the texturing (what’s new) and am working on learning Substance Painter because everything looks kind of bland and repetitive. I’m trying to decide if I want to expand the church into something that more resembles a church or if I want to make it a hall like it is now. One of the other main focuses of this module is the statue at the front of the church. Someone suggested I make it a flower statue, and I really liked that idea. I’m trying to decide what flower specifically, given the meaning different flowers hold. A lily, a rose, lilies of the valley, peonies, orchids, foxglove.  Decisions decisions. 

Another big problem I’m anticipating is moving this to VR in any capacity because of the caustics on the glass. So I’m going to guess that most of my rendering focus should be on exporting short video clips so that everything can render how it was meant to.
