The scientist's machine:

 

this project was  for a university assignment where we had to design a level around a machine. this machine had to be a scientist's machine which could be whatever we wanted. so when i started this assignment my first priority was to designt the layout, design and theme of the level. my original idea for the theme was to give it a similar astehtic style to a grand victorian library.  

 

this idea was goin okay to begin with, but as i looked at the resources we where allowed to use for our textures i realised it would be very difficult to do as the sources didnt have what i wanted. This meant i had to re-think my theme and i came up with the idea of having clean marble and pristine architecture. 

 

with the theme completed I then moved onto designing the machine. i came up with the idea of having an alchemy machine that changed wood to metal. i modelled the pedastal for it to be placed on and four points that focused energy towards the object. the final version of the machine is as you see in the photos to the right.
