Concept model

Here's some renders of the rough model. The colours don't represent the final look, I just put the walkways in red to illustrate where the maintenance droid can travel.

I made a rough model of the chamber over the weekend, including animation of the robotics and machinery. It was a lot easier than trying to make detailed drawings...

I'll render some images and post them tomorrow- I thought it was a good idea to post the thumbnail drawings first so that things are in the right order.

I figure we can use the rough model to work out camera angles and the exact timing of shots, that way we'll know which parts need more detail and more time spent on them.

The story could certainly revolve around some kind of robotic class distinction. I thought it would be cool if the maintenance droid watched the memories on the screens and was inspired to try and escape a 'life' of drudgery in the chamber, possibly by negotiating a maze of walkways up to the top of the dome, and then out into sunlight?
