Found some interior plans and elevations of the part of the building that faces the victoria approach street.
Going to try and chase up the council to try and acquire some more plans of the station, however I'll have to do this on my lunch break tomorrow as I'm working.
Found these numbers on the manchester.gov.uk website so hopefully if I'm unsuccessful perhaps Lisa you could attempt to acquire them as I know you have had previous experience with this?

had some good information on how to go about requesting plans.
Failing that, I'm working on a simple model to try and work out the layouts of the building to help build up a simple greybox model in the unreal engine. However I could probably do with visiting the station yet again for more sketches and photos...
Nice one, we can move on to the next stage but I think you are being a little hasty in building the models, we should establish a level design first, meaning a top down view of what we hope to create for each level, pin pointing spawn points, entrances, exits, interactive sections and so on. I just think that if you start modelling now then we might have to redo it and your work will go to waste; instead I think on thursday when we are all in again, we should make the level layout and then proceed to model; what do you think?
ReplyDeleteYeah, ok I think that's probably a smart decision since you seem to have more experience with this.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to meeting up again on Thursday!
I couldn't agree more with james comments its often one of the biggest errors rushing into too much detail without getting the fundamentals right first, the fundamentals are key and they certainly can be worked out on paper across the team working back and forth.
ReplyDeleteI've passed some simple metrics on to Mick should anyone be struggling , tbh id like you to be free with design but he has some info if you feel a little lost, you'll have to be nice to him though.
