I'm Stuck :(

I have currently been stuck in my modeling progress for a while, as the homes are not coming out in the style that I have been imagining them in, so I am just trying to focus on other things, and hopefully that will help me get back up to speed and get over this hump I have been having. As of right now I am looking up music to help with pacing for the mail truck to follow in these short animations. I am also looking at just creating looping GIF sets of each home. Due to my poor college-student status I am currently looking at music on Royalty Free Websites.

I regards to the homes, one of my classmates definitely gave me a push in the right direction. I spent so much time this semester imaging what the homes will look like in 3D that I foolishly never really took into consideration the 2D way they were drawn. I have since tried pushing and pulling vertices on the models to create the similar disported shapes shown in the drawings of the original homes, the results are looking much better! I will however still be adding certain elements that the homes may not have originally had but keeping the same color scheme and overall shapes of the homes is important.

One Sentence and Paragraph(Revised)

Now that the semester for Thesis testing and Documentation is coming to an end I will be revisiting the one sentence concept description, and the one paragraph concept description, and all my other studies to re-evaluate what I have done so far, researched, and discovered in this process.

One Sentence Conceptual Description(Revised)
My thesis is to recreate 3 different traditional 2D homes using a 3D medium to challenge my ability to create a cohesive world that these homes can share, while at the same time studying how the change in medium effects the feeling of the homes.

One Paragraph Conceptual Description(Revised)
My thesis is to recreate 3 different traditional 2D homes, from 3 different TV networks that I enjoyed as a kid, and incorporate them into a cohesive 3D world, where they can co-exist. The reason for this is not only to study the feeling these homes have in taken out of their stylized 2D form and put into 3D. My goal is to not only enjoy the feeling of creating homes I once had so much fun pretending to be apart of, but also to maintain their stylized appearance with slight alterations, and high detailed texturing.
