I’m currently a senior Computer Animation student and my classmates and I are making an original animated film. I chose to be on the environment team, and pitched the idea of having a 60’s inspired gas station in our setting. My team really liked that idea so I got to work. I decided to take on the role of building, texturing, and lighting the entire vintage gas station.

I built the station roof itself, the gas pumps, and the tall sign you would see while on the interstate.

The film is still very much in progress, but you can see what I have so far here:

Modern Gas Pump:

Vintage Gas Pumps with varying degrees of rust:

Vintage Gas Station Roof & Pillar:

Vintage Tall Sign:

Here you can see the proof of my process of models in the scene. Images here showcase models from newest to oldest starting with the Tall Sign here.

This is the very first greybox of my gas station. The colored cubes are my size reference for the characters in the film.

Some concept sketches I drew up to prepare for the modeling process:
