school bus


I'm starting a level design based loosely on the film Children Of Men. The premise is a world without children. I love the movie, it has a big budget so it looks fantastic, but it reveals itself slowly and doesn't over-explain things. For example, I only just realised, on what must have been my sixth viewing, that the buses used to transport refugee prisoners are actually repainted school buses, which obviously aren't needed anymore. So my level has to have one of these buses, and I've started modelling it up in 3ds max. I'm a bit rusty after the holidays, so this has already taken me nearly 3 hours!
