November 7th:
With the revised concept in mind, Jalene started to work on the transportation island. Based on Sylvia's idea of each transportation vehicle having their own "layer" on the island, Jalene created a sketch of how the island might be designed.
This kind of structure allowed all the transportation vehicles to be visible while the island is being interacted with. The shapes of the roads and platforms also allow the vehicles to be animated and infinitely looped in circles around the island. Once this sketch was run through by the team, Jalene started modeling the city.
The process was moreso time-consuming than difficult. One of the issues Jalene ran into was rounding the corners of the Skytrain and bus roads/tracks. It was made clear that animating the vehicles to turn around sharp corners would be difficult so there had to be changes made to the tracks. Grace suggested solving this by bevelling the corners rather than rounding them as it would take too long.
