Virtual Environment
For this Virtual environments brief we decided to focus on environmental issues and what people could do to help. we decided to make a type of educational park which peoples avatars could walk around play games involving how to recycle and read up on facts about recycling. here is a plan of the area i drew up which shows the lay out of the area.



The idea was that there would be a conveyor  belt of loads of different types of waste, some recyclable, some not. the participant would have to move the items in to the allocated recycling bins. there are going got be sounds such as fire for the furnace and opening of doors. 

we also wanted to be able to take items form a rubish tip and place then in big containers. such as tv's and washing machines.

I created these items by building up shaped and adding textures. This was what i found most enjoying. i enjoyed making textures on photoshop and introducing images on to these items.


here is an image of the walkway i created, this is what took the most time on my part, for the project. We had a few ideas of how you would get from the higher ground to the lower parts where the pond was and the rubbish tip. i came up with this sloping design which i think reinforces the park like feel to the project.
