3d Modelling: Another Table

Props for the Prison Level

The Mess Hall Props

There will be 2 of these in the dining hall for the guards to sit at. The table top is 1 m by 1 m and the height overall is around 0.8 m.


The polygon count is 206.
The vertex count is 264. 
I started with a box for the table top, inset the bottom polygon, created the stand then extruded out four polygons along the middle to get the seat parts which I connected cylinders to. I used the bevel, extrude and welding tools to create this.

3d Modelling: The Table

Prop for the Prison Level

The Mess Hall Props


There will be 6 of these within the mess hall for the prisoners to eat at. The table would fit 10 inmates, it is 3.2 m long and 1.2 m wide with an overall height of around 0.82 m.

The polygon count is 126.
The vertex count is 136.

This was fairly easy to model once I started. I wanted to have the seats attached to the table in some way so this is what I ended up with.


I started with a box and just kept connecting edges and extruding to get the shape you see.




Next up will be another table for the mess hall.

Level Planning: The Prison - The Mess Hall

Planning for the Prison Level


The Mess Hall

The room will include 6 tables with chairs that will be either attached to the floor or the table itself. There will also be a serving area that will have the grills down. In one corner there will be a different type of table for the guards to sit on whilst keeping an eye on the inmates.


The dining hall will be 15m x 15m x 5m, the image on the left is the box with those measurements that I will be starting with.

I wanted the ceiling to be pretty high as most dining halls I've been to have rather high ceilings and it will make a change for the gamer as he goes through the prison as a lot of the spaces will be small.

Next up will be the tables for the inmates.

3d Modelling: The Pit Cell

Props for the Prison Level





There will be 5 of these in an alcove and possibly more than one alcove with them in the underground area. The diameter is 1 m and the height is 4 m, only a small amount of that will be seen above the ground.





The polygon count is 1,023.
The vertex count is 1,250.

This was fairly easy to model just a cylinder with a couple of extrusions. The grill is just a plane with the lattice modifier, which I played around with after applying it.


Texturing

I am planning to texture this with a old grey brick for the cylinder and a worn out metal texture for the grill.

Level Planning: The Prison - The Pit Cell

Planning for the Prison Level

The Pit Cell

There will be 5 pit cells, which are cylinder cells that go 4 meters into the ground, covered by a heavy metal grill so the inmates can't get out even if they manage to climb to the top, unless the guards let them out. 

The pit cells won't technically be in a room they'll be in an alcove under the prison near the 3rd grade cells and the torture chamber.

They'll hear all the screaming from the torture chamber and the moans from the 3rd grade cells. They are designed for severe solitary confinement so that the inmates are very cooperative when they are taken out.
