Intro to my Work





From previously studying the BA (Hons) Course in Games Design at UCLan, I gained many valuable skills. Such as 3D modelling, knowledge of programmes (MAYA, UE4, substance design and ZBrush), character and environmental concept design. However, it is 3D modelling more specifically which I want to specialise in within my Masters, as I gained the most enjoyment and skill within the area.


I enjoy creating and modelling all variations of 3D concepts; however, I do enjoy modelling environmental scenes more. I find these are more enjoyable and I am able to create a world of my own choosing. For example, the styles which I enjoy are, Steampunk, post-apocalyptic, industrial etc. I enjoy these styles more so because they are more interesting and unique to create. Combining the past and the future is exciting to see while in both the modelling process and the finished product.  

At this moment in time, I am in the process of researching ideas which are all focused around the themes which I suggested earlier. (Steampunk, industrial concepts etc). The creation of scenes and props will be the main focus.



I will be taking inspiration from:
Films and television programmes such as ‘Mad Max’ ‘Sherlock Holmes’ ‘Peaky Blinders’
The derelict and isolated desert scenery as shown in 'Mad Max: Fury Road' (2015)

A still from the film 'Sherlock Holmes' (2006) - the industrialised features of the Victorian London skyline
A still from the television show, 'Peaky Blinders' (2013-Pres)





Games ‘BioShock infinite’ ‘Guns of Icarus Alliance’ ‘The Order:1886’
A still taken from the trailer for 'BioShock Inifnite" (2013)

An in-game still taken from the game 'BioShock Infinite' (2013)



A still taken from the game 'Guns of Icarus Alliance' (2012)
A still taken from the game 'Guns of Icarus Alliance' (2012)



A still showing the environmental scene of Paris in the game 'The Order: 1886"
A still showing the environmental scene of London in the game 'The Order: 1886"



Using these references, I hope to build an environment with rops and other objects which will move and create a living environment.  The industrialised scenes of the games shown above, 'Sherlock Holmes' and 'The Peaky Blinders' will be a major influence in my work, adding elements of steampunk later on in the process.

Rigging

Rigging Alongside the animations, I have used rigging in Maya. Rather than just using the more simplistic animations, rigging allows me to create more realistic movements. For example, chains and belts. I have gained knowledge of how to use pully belts as a rig effectively, as well as creating smooth transitions for the pully belt moving around the wheels. I felt it best to prioritise this transition as it would effectively create a juddered game experience for the player if it was not smooth.  I found that while doing this process, I found it easy enough to grasp the main concept of it, however further on into the more complex issues, I found it more difficult to grasp.   It has been a slow learning experience as there are so many options for adjustments within the rigging process.

Car dashboard

  Car dashboard In between the first and the second cut scene, there will be a couple of shoots which will be the dashboard of the car. The dash dashboard will show the car spend and the rest below is an example of what the view will see the purpose is to show more detail and movement in the video for the end experience. And some station shots to mix up the footage. After researching car chases sense in films they all ways how the inside of the cars or the dashboard, this is because it keeps the point of forces of what’s happing and changers it over standard outside shots, this keeps the action up to and the view more entailed in the what’s happing or what’s going to happen. A good example of this is a film called Baby Driver   From Baby driver, I notice that you can show the viewer a lot of information in a very short period which makes sense. In the opening scene, it shows what the action which the driver is going to do before it happens. Below I have taken screen sh...

First cut scene

Semester 3 overall First cut scene -what is in the scene? ·          Road ·          Telephone lines ·          Car ·          Train lines ·          Foliage… Grass, Bushes, Wheat, tress The special movement will be the license plate spinning on the ground   Second cut scene ·          Train ·          Train crossing The special movement will be the car getting nearly getting hit by the train   Throughout the end experience, I looked at how I can present the result this was for a couple of reasons. Firstly, how to present my work in the format that I wanted to show the viewer the action and how to keep the audience engage with during the video. I looked at how movies did this in car chases in film and ...
