Floating Noodle Shop
a Floating Noodle Shop in a Singapore-Inspired Settlement
Dev Log #1 - Conception and Idea
Inspired by 1970s Singapore, a hub for different cultures to fuse and combine, Floating Noodle Shop is an explorable riverside restaurant in the form of a boat. I was fascinated by the fusion of cultures such as Chinese and Southeast Asian that eventually led to the Peranakan culture's creation. While not fully recreating a replica of the set piece, I intend to use the setting as reference to my environment.
References
The first picture that made me fall in love with the setting is a painting by Chua Mia Tee. The Singaporean painter's works serve as a look into 1970s Singapore.
Concept Image
This is a rough concept piece I used to visualize my idea.
Dev Log #2 - Project Timeline
As with any project and timeline, it will be bent and altered after a while. Initially I thought of creating a background (a collage of buildings) to aid the setting projection. This eventually needed to be scrapped due to time and other commitments.
Modelling
I used Maya for all my modelling. Ideally I would love to try and use Blender, but considering the limited time I have, I could not afford to learn the software.
Presentation
I put all the models and textures together in Unity and made some quick UI to switch between cameras to explore the environment.
Dev Log #3 - Final Presentation
I took screenshots of the mini experience I made in Unity and uploaded it to social media.
