Airship research - Environment Styles


At this point in my project, I have been looking at the different styles of modeling. I have been looking at games that have a similar or the same theme as what I wish to create. Games such as 'BioShock Infinite'.  This game displays the style of airship and environment I want to achieve within my project. In addition to this, I also have been looking at this game for its use of exterior movements, such as the engines and other mechanical pieces. I want to aim to create this idea because of its ability to create a fully immersive and realistic experience for the player. 

 The screenshots below are from the 'BioShock Infinite' trailer. The link is as follows: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQZd5jGWUOo
This is a screenshot from the 'Bioshock Infinite'  trailer. This will allow me to take ideas of the exterior views, the scenery, and landscape which can be viewed. In addition, the moving parts of the city are visible.

Another game that I have been looking at is 'Guns of Icarus Alliance'. I have been looking at this game because of its themes and styling I want to take notes of its environment scene and more importantly the use of texturing. This will be very useful for my own modeling ideas. 

  I have taken screenshots from the trailer for this game, the link for it is as follows: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOFImC_5-Mw
This is an image used by Playststaion to advertise the games. This is useful for me to gain an insight into the exterior texturing.

The third game which I have been looking at is 'The Order:1886'. This game, different from the others, will allow me to gain a good idea of the interior design and texture. The images below are taken from the environment artist's website.

This is one of the images displaying the interior modeling in the game 'The order:1886'. This is useful for me so I can gain ideas of interior lighting and texture of the control deck.

This is one of the images displaying the interior modeling in the game 'The order:1886'.  This displays a walkway the player will venture down.

These games will be valuable in my research as well as allowing me to gain a clear insight into the use of texture, movement, and lighting which I can utilise in my modeling.

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...

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.

Semester 3 First cut sense

First, cut sense Car driving down the road, this will be setting the scene. The environment will be a big part of the setting as the view will know what the rest of the set as. The weather conditions will be very dull and misty, showing what time of day it is. The environment that the car will be driving down Road and road markings Dirt by the side of the road Tress and bush plants Misty and foggy Moon lighting The vehicle Old pickup or a police car The camera work. Fast movement but showing off the detail of the car and the current mood. The camera will show the external and internal of the car, below are so examples which helped me with my designing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XMuUVw7TOM -- Baby driver https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CD0VD3LElOI -- Bourne Identity The moving parts in the first cut sense The internals The rev and speed dials Gear shift The external Moving vehicle  License plate falling off ...
