The Poster

After brainstorming a few ideas in my log book I decided to go with "Take a Virtual Tour Around the Future Hive of Creativity". Hive and Hub of creativity have been words I have used a lot to describe to people what it is that I am making and the virtual tour is what it is anyway. If it was going to be a dvd cover I would have a short description on what the place as a whole is, although this would more than likely be a duplicate of the descriptions used in the model anyway.
Out of the four posters I prefer the first and the last. I think I will use the last poster layout but swap the bottom and the top images with each other to align the text slightly higher up on the page as right now it is just below the middle and is uncomfortable to look at/read.

I used screenshots of my model instead of trying to capture the whole building because it has been the interior that I have spent so much time building. I took the birds eye view screenshots before I had applied a roof to the building. I had hoped when I made the model I might not need to apply a ceiling/roof but whilst I was walking around the model you could see above where the ceiling should be so I had to include. This then meant that I had to apply lighting to my model. I don't know the ins and outs of how the lighting works, I had hoped it would be easily added and it would all just work easily, it did not. To be able to see how the lighting was working in Unreal Engine there is a build function, this allowed me to see how the lighting was working but it also took up a lot of time. I think at points I was waiting at least 10 minutes for the build process to complete. Shorter than waiting for ctrl z to work though. Every time I had to use ctrl z I had to wait over 10 minutes for unreal engine to work as it would come up on task manager as not responding. I couldn't even save anything when it did that. Frustrating would be an understatement but I manged to get through it all.
