Creating the Windows

To create the window and its frame I first begun with a box, then cut out the middle but ensuring that the box would have sufficient vertex points for the next stage of the process.

Using another box but in the shape of a long rectangle I cut off each of the ends and duplicated it into any other sizes. This would allow each of the rectangle to fit into the window.

I could now weld the rectangle points into the window frame to give the effect of the lead elements within tutor window period buildings.
Once this was completed I then added  a frame around the window panels and placed glass within them. The glass is a material that has specialised settings to allow the light to travel through it. This material was then added to a plane to give the impression of glass when rendered.

Each of the windows had a handle on the rear to lock and unlock the window, this side would define which way round the window would be facing when placed within the building structure.

I created the window size in 3 different sizes.
·         2 Windows
·         3 Windows
·         4 Windows

The windows were now ready to be imported into the project building scene, it was placed within allocated window sectors that had already been cut out to size.
