Week No.	Week Commencing	Task
1	4th Feb 19	I started my project doc & Choose 3 ideas and decide on one for further development. I chose to create an alien fortress and the surrounding environments.
2	11th Feb 19	I Continued writing my project doc fleshing out the fortress idea and researching potential inspirations.
3	18th Feb 19	I Began to sketch out the exterior of the fortress designing the grasslands and lake, what the fort will look like and how I would like it laid out.
4	25th Feb 19	I began to model the exterior planes where I would like the lake and where I think the fortress will fit on the map.
5	4th  Mar 19	I continued modeling the grasslands and installed the water in the lake and used a youtube video for a tutorial on how to make the water look real.
6	11th  Mar 19	This week I began on the plant life for the exterior. I began on the tree then created the long grass and the reeds as they where by far the easier models to make. Then on to the odd rock and then experimented with the bulb plant.
7	18th  Mar 19	I started on the Fortress itself. I began with the main tower and front entrance then modeled the throne room and the barracks. Finally, I created the tower and the orb. most of this was simply the exterior of the fortress.
8	25th  Mar 19	This week I began hollowing out the interior of the lobby, main hall and the dining hall and placing the shield windows in the appropriate places.
9	1st  Apr 19	I started hollowing out the throne room and the barracks as well as began on the watchtowers adding in the spiral staircase. I wanted a more traditional watchtower but it looked awkward so I kept with the shield windows as used in the fortress.
Holiday		Textured the environment.
Holiday		Textured the fortress.
10	22nd  Apr 19	I began work on the outer walls and started creating the throne and dining chairs.
11	29th  Apr 19	I finished the walls and created a dining table and the beds for the barracks. I also began bringing the fortress and environment together into one file.
12	6th May 19	I placed the fortress environment and the plants all into one file and spent the week arranging them. It wasn’t as well as I would have liked but due to time the extra trees and grass needed to be left out.
13	13th  May 19	I began and completed pathing out my camera I attached it to a spline and maneuvered it around. I would have liked more time to refine it but I needed to bein rendering ASAP.
14	20th  May 19	I began rendering my animation over 3 days and continued with my project document. Unfortunately, the camera pathing was not as good as I would have liked in the final product but I needed to meet the deadline so it needed to be submitted either way.
15	27th  May 19	I presented my powerpoint presentation to the class and lecturers everything went ok and also began wrapping up my project document.
16	3rd June 19	I Evaluated how I felt the project went and how I feel I performed and continued with the project document and added the final touches.
17	10th June 19	Remediation week to redo any classes that require it.
