Research - Churchill War Rooms

Reno and I went to the Churchill War Rooms because there are a lot of assets and interior designs that resembles a military office during the time of Second World War.
We took pictures of many objects and textures that are extremely useful for modeling, and received a great understanding of room layouts for a military office at that time period. This is very inspiring for our room setup inside the seafort.

Above image is a collage I made with photos I took when our group visited Churchill War Rooms. I personally believe that this place was one of the most beneficial sources that we used regarding our research because the main part of our environment is a military office in a seafort. Although none of the offices in the here were designed for seaforts, they do give us a clear layout and a sense of environment of what British army's offices were like especially for significant figures. Combining the information from Churchill War Rooms and HMS Belfast, we should have pretty much gathered information from every aspect for our environment. Also we found a huge variety of objects that could be used as references for objects that we decided to place in our scene.


Above image is a picture taken during Second World War with a number of significant military figures in a conference. We might place this image in a picture frame by our main character's sick bed as a thread to his reminiscence. (Also for the comedy effect, we might photoshop our faces onto it)


This is the main strategy room found in Churchill War Rooms. It provides a clear reference of what the military office should look like during the period of Second World War. Our office inside the seafort is based heavily on the layout of this room.
