Once I had acquired the necessary drawings to construct the exterior of the proposed building I began to scale the images suitable for maya. These would then be used as image planes to project the drawings to form a cube around the model. These image planes would be used to accurately construct the model to a specific scale. All elevations were needed to form the basic structure and accurately convey the height of the building itself. We also some plan drawings so we could construct the foundations of the building and produce a model with the right dimensions.
One of the hardest things during the building's development was reading the drawings produced by the architectural company. In order for the building to be accurate we needed the drawings to be a particular and they needed to be clear enough to read in maya. Chris and I had no experience in reading architectural, detailed drawings, so reading them to begin with was difficult and often resulted in a model that in no way resembled the drawings. However, with a little guidance and trial and error we managed to construct the basic shape of the building using the images given to us by Husband and Carpenter.
