So, for the visualisation project I have put together a top view plan of the attic, so I have a clear idea of the attic space for when I begin modelling. I have also found some reference images which relate to what I would like the different areas of the attic to look like.

> (Main room) This image refers to the main room in the attic, although the attic I design will have loads of furniture and items in the way but I am going to use the similar style of the beams from this photo.

> (Classroom) This reference image relates to the old classroom in the book. However I am going to let less light into the room. I plan for the windows to be quite high up.

> (Stairway) I like the narrow, worn effect to this image for a reference of the stairway. Thinking mainly about the detail of textures within this part of the walk through, as the camera shots will be quite close up.

> (Windows) This is the style of the windows I am going to design for the attic. Although I will make some of the windows a bit larger. All the windows will have metal bars across them. (To stop the children escaping in the book).

So I have NEARLY completed modelling my character, I think I need to tweak a few things but here are a few screen shots of him (below). After 'tweaking', I will tackle UVW unwrapping and I am also going to create my own textures for him in photoshop. Might have some fun and do some painting and then scan it in to edit a bit :o)

I have created a moodboard for this project, which helps me think of the design and atmosphere I want to create within the walk through. I have also selected certain quotes from 'The Attic' chapter from the book which I will consentrate on when designing the interior space.
