Environments : The process of creating my scene.

Environments

Through the process of researching and designing the environment, I first started by looking at a similar scenes which featured the steampunk style.

Below are some examples of the work I looked at,

The pictures above are some examples of artists work. I have used these to help me along as it gives me insight into the gaming industry and more specifically what they are currently creating at the moment, following on I will attempt to use some of these sources to influence and inspire my own work.

I have found environments through my research, examples which can be seen in games such as ‘the order’ and ‘Guns of Icarus Alliance’. These games fit into a very similar genre and aesthetic as how I want to take my project. Taking note on how these levels and the environment are made and the layout of the room.

I have been separating these environments into their different components and categories. This has allowed me to specifically focus of individual areas and how each must be made, as opposed to the entire environment as one.

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 ...
