Station Render

The right platform needs to be isolated to prevent the pole stretching.  And there's a linear gap between the main platform and lower rail platform (left)--could either move the camera over to the right or widen the lower platform.

Station - projection rendering

I created color and alpha files earlier in the week.  Tried setting up projection for background (middle shot) when I realized the Fit Type should be Match Camera Resolution, not Match Camera Film Gate (I'm currently using a Resolution Gate for the camera--just to be confusing).    

I finally rendered a working projected background (top).  

Station model

Completed model above, top.  [Saved trees as object file to insert later - they tend to bog down the program.]
The screen capture shows checking the normals before exporting object file.  I have to do this in order to work on models created in v2014 Maya outside of school - the school uses v2013.   

Station - modeling progress

Pretty much done with modeling with exception of some overhead items and some wanted details. 
Will work on getting into some 3D projection tomorrow. 

Station - geometry

Learning more about how to utilize simple geometry.  Will etch in the detail using sculpt, vertex, face, etc.  Would like to finish up so I can go ahead and try placing the 3D cameras.

Getting there...

Station - modeling progress

Modeling still ongoing.  I'm not very good at sculpting, so I'm just going cube by cube for now.
