change of plan

After having problems with my character i have decided to work on my environment first as it is a moulder piece environment i can re-use all of the piece i have created.

Doing this first will free up a lot of time and allow me to spend more time on my character.

I have reflected this within my Gantt chart update.

block out character

I am currently having some problems with my block out charcater, although this is not my first character i have created the block out does seem to be going right.

 I think i am going to start again and tackle it from a different angle

presentation

Preparing for the pitch presentation, i will like to potray my character to have strong characteristics.

For my presentation the parts i will talk about are:

• Character background
• Character biography
• Character clohes
• Character acfcessories
• Environment
• Planning
• Concept art
• Blockouts tha

planning revised

After reviewing my first Gantt chart  i can clearly see my Gantt chart was very disorganized and did not show an in-depth look into how i am going to break down my work.
I have created a revised version of my original Gantt character showing a more in-depth plan..

I have now put all of my tasks within three section:- 

• Pre-alpha
• Aplha
• Final product

planning

To help put my current project into perspective I have created a Gantt chart to help organize the projects

My gantt chart shows how i will break down character modelling, my environment modelling, character rigging, animation and special effects.

addition ideas for the environment

There was a number of different concepts art that I had taken an interest in, yet when breaking down that is required to produce them the standard of the concept art required

The environment concept art all have a main object that is the focus of the concept art, as well as creating the environment i would have to focus alot of time on the main object trying to make it look just as important as is does in the concept art. Doing that could take a lot of time.

breakdown of the concept art

To help me identify how big just how big this project will be, i broke down the concept art and planned how i will create my character and envrionment.

Firstly as the character is the most important part of my scene i broke down the character concept art.

Introduction

Introduction to Advance 3D graphics

Advance graphics 3D is a project to give us the students the freedom by allowing us to choose a piece of concept art and recreate it in a digital scene.

Choosing between creating a environment or a character the rules are:

Applies to both

•  Finished object must be placed and rendered in a game engine e.g UDK, Cry engine.
• The scene must be playable.
• If any post rendering techniques have been applied, two separate renders must be shown side by side within the blog and final presentation stating and showing .
•  There should be a render pass of the scene.

Characters

• Character must be rigged.
•  Character must be animated, if the character isn’t animated they must at least be posed.
