This project involves researching a period in history, and creating a 3D homestead from the chosen period. The finished product must be historically accurate, so research skills are critical for success. Other skills include concept art, 3D modelling and use of a game engine. In addition to the finished product, I must write a research essay and a practical essay, each with a minimum of 500 words.
When designing the 3D environment, multiple factors must be taken into consideration. Terrain, flora and fauna must fit the setting. Architecture and culture must be consistent with the time period. Item proportions must be correct, especially since the environment will be viewed in VR.
The time periods I am considering are:
- 1920s America
- World War II
- The wild west
