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.

The road

The road For the road I researched as I wanted to keep it all in theme, this led me to choose between a busy highway or side county road. As the project was set in outside of the town, I chose to have a county road as there is a lot of carter within them and I will be able to factor that into the end video. Below is the picture that I took inspiration from. From this, I could use for a reference point and be able to mould the road for the environment The telephone lines As the first part was set on the road, I wanted the have more realism in the environment. I started to research what other models I could use as a backdrop and content which I could use for the video     The car and why I chose it.   For the sense and the environment, I decided to have the car as 1974 Dodge Monaco front, this is because it fits the time frame and the location of the environment which is America. Another reason why I picked it was that it’s an ironic car from the film Blue...

Movement Within Film

Within my work, I want to incorporate moving parts. Such as cogs, large wheels, pipes, etc. Industrial mechanical environment features. I want to achieve this so I can create a fully immersive and exciting environment for the player to explore and work within.  I have been looking at films and how the CGI effects can be transferred into movement within a game. 'Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones' involves a scene that depicts a moving conveyor belt with many moving parts of machinery. I want to use these as inspirations because of the repetitive nature, not unlike an n airship the parts move to complete a sequence. This is something that I can utilise in my work.  The scene link is as follows :  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzWyLDQvKng&t=1s A screenshot  Add caption
