I wanted to model a door for the passengers to enter through. I planned to have two variations of this, one for the airport terminal and the other for the plane’s entry point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>

\"\"<\/a>
Figure 13 – Automated Airport Doors.<\/em> (ollo, 2011)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Making this was easy to accomplish. I only had to insert edge loops and mirror one side across.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I had attempted CGI Tutorials’ way of applying the textures into Unreal (2013), but they still wouldn’t be applied to the mesh, so I worked around this by creating the texture materials and plugging them in that way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The other set of doors had an additional glass elements fitted into them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Next up was the immigration desk for the passports to be checked. Modelling one side means that I wouldn’t worry about making a mistake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Next were the screen displays showing all of the flight information. I wanted to change the shape a little since I would be making multiple variations of the same asset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>

\"\"<\/a>
Figure 15 – A smaller display monitor (FORMS+SURFACES, 2023)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Again, this asset was simple to make for all of the screen variations since I only had to extrude and change a few polygons to resemble an airport screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Next were the seating within the airport terminal section. I wanted to demonstrate how I could apply the example I had shown in the proposal to make a curved seating area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Figure 16 – Circular Seating<\/em> (RBS Global Media Ltd, 2023)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
Figure 17 – Another variation of the seats (Leadcom Seating, 2023)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I tried hard to match the style as shown in the reference image and related it back to the seats in my proposal. But once that was finished, I plugged the textures in and exported it into the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Now it was time for me to add an escalator asset into the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Figure 18 – Standard Escalator<\/em> (Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, n.d)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This was a little more complex, as I had to create the slops and the lower walls of the asset alongside the steps to make it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The trickiest bit was the positioning as this will be placed within the corridors of the underground section, so I had to be mindful about the geometry too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It was time for me to add an airport barrier to separate the check-in area and the security area of the landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>

\"\"<\/a>
Figure 20 – A black airport barrier<\/em> (Lawrence Metal, 2023)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This is an easy asset to make in Maya as all I had to do was model this out of basic shapes and extrusions and mirror one side across.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Next were the rail tracks that would be placed inside of the station to provide an entry point for all of the passengers arriving at the airport by rail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Figure 21 – Train Tracks on a London Underground station (bowroaduk, 2010)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Making a section of rail was pretty easy, as all I had to do was extrude a couple of cylinders and make the supports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I’ve created a curve to highlight to highlight the rail path and extruded the cylindrical faces (Mainwaring, 2021). The only downside to this is that I had to position all of the supports before duplicating the rails to make a second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I wanted to create an asset where people would order food from, as many airports offer food kiosks in their terminals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Figure 22 – A food kiosk (Alibaba.com, 2023)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>
Figure 23 – An indoor variant of a food kiosk (GREATER ORLANDO AVIATION AUTHORITY)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I’ve made sure to the features of a kiosk, like the cashiers and a display barrier. I’ve also tried to decorate the front exterior for the customers to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Here are two off the same kiosk right next to each other in the landscape next to the terminal entrance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The final asset I would be making are the large airport windows that show the runway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Figure 24 – Black airport windows<\/em>. (Maloney, n.d)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I wanted to place glass inside of this to compliment the reference image above and allow guests to see the airplanes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
