Back to the Search Engine

Today I am back at the Search Engine facility at the National Railway Museum in York. While most of my research has been on my 3D Computer Technologies modual for the V2 Green Arrow I decided to come here to find out more about other locomotives and the infamous "Beeching Axe"

To start off I have done some more photography of the "Green Arrow" for my 3D work. These new photos will allow me to do the detail work I need for my Model. These are a few of the photos i have taken:

While researching the locomotive I realised that I dont have enough material on the Railway in general. So now I will be looking through any Journals, Books and Original Material (e.g. Microfilms, Eyewitness Accounts) to build up a detailed history of the British Railway.

My research today should take me a long way to finishing my Prezi. I am hoping to have the Railway Research finished by the 15th then my remaining Compositing and Lighting research on the 17th. The Railway subjects i will be studying are listed as follows:

LNER A4 Pacific Locomotives
LNER A3 Locomotives
Rocket
Tank Engines
Walschaerts Gear
Doctor Richard Beeching

Once the Railway research is complete then I can finish off Lighting and Compositing Research, these are the subjects i have to finish researching:

CGI Lighting
HDRi
Panoramics
Colour Grading
Chroma Keying
2D and 3D Particle Systems
Radiosity

I am hoping that this will be my last research trip to York but I will probably have to return for my final project later in March/April time.

Will be updating this blog next week
