3d Modelling: The 3 Cells

Props for the Prison Level

The 3 Cell Types

There will be at least 20 of each cell type throughout the prison.
There will be variances in every cell within the level whether it be with differences in texturing or a couple of extra props like shackles or remains.



The 1st and 2nd grade cells have air vents at the back to allow for air circulation whereas the 3rd grade cells will not resulting in further diminished living conditions (e.g bad smell, humidity and no fresh air).

1st Grade Cell

1.8m x 1.8m x 1.8m        2nd Floor
Props: Bed Frame, Mattress and 2 buckets.

The inmates in here have special treatment they are allowed a frame and mattress so are fairly comfortable along with a wash bucket and a waste bucket.

The idea behind this cell is to hold inmates that are important to research in some way. They have space to stand, lay and even pace.

2nd Grade Cell

1.8m x 1.5m x 1.8m     Ground Floor
Props: Mattress and 1 bucket.

The inmates in here have a certain amount of civilized treatment they are allowed a mattress so have some comfort and a bucket for waste.

The idea behind this cell is to hold inmates that are useful in some way but aren't important enough for an upgrade. Space is limited but not too drastically compared to the 3rd grade cell.

Since the 1.8m side is facing the front I was able to use the same front section of the 1st grade cell by copying the polygons over and welding the vertices to the ceiling and floor.

3rd Grade Cell

1m x 1m x 1.5m          Underground

Prop: 1 bucket.

The inmates in here won't get any special or even civilized treatment so they are only allocated a bucket for waste nothing more. 

The idea behind this cell is to make the inmate feel as uncomfortable as possible, it would be impossible for them to stand up or lay flat so most of the time they'll be in a fetal position.

I had to model the bars and front section from scratch for this cell as the proportions were different from the other two cells. I wanted to keep as many similarities as possible so the style was the same. For example the bars have the same diameter and number of sides, also the sizes of the frames are very similar as well.
