Independent Project - Environment

 Environment

Tree, Grass and Rock

When I was trying to build the environment for the game scene, I searched on Youtube and saw this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ueo6WJWGvqk&t=3250s, I followed some of the steps in this video and created the rocks and those trees and grass. It taught me how to make the mesh looks random just like the stones using the Decimate modifier in Blender.

I then created some materials (colours) for these things in Unity and placed on them. After making so many 3D models, I am actually looking forward to create some 3D animations in the future.


Here is the first room I've made. I must say, it looks very plain and empty even with some props in it right now. 

I think lighting and modeling rooms or environment really are the things that I should learn more in the future. But since I didn't have much time for so many 3D models, I think it is reasonable to look like this as I spent a lot of time on the characters.


This is the second room I've made.

As you can see, it is looking empty like a box. 
However, I would say that there is a reason, I replaced the door with eyeballs, this is basically where I am living now, the uni campus. I see each doors as a person and turn them into eyes. Eyes mean the pressure the character gave himself, as he is afraid of how people see him and afraid of being seen.

After destroying the eyeball with a hidden Key (KeyCode), the character can get a key to open the first room above and get a key to open the door in this room.



Next, this is not a room but a short path to the next room. This represent the path that I used to walk to the classroom in real life. There are full of people which are the one eyed monsters in the game. So it represented what the character Mi will experience if he walk from his room to the yellow room.


This is how the inside of the yellow room looks, you may call it the classroom. There are eyes that shoot projectiles to you and the boss commanding those eyeballs to shoot you. I would say it somehow looked like a cage. 

After killing the boss, he will be gone and the exit will not be blocked anymore. When you get into the exit, the game restart, just as what I stated in my gameplay concept.

Degree Project: Animation (5)

Image
Colouring In the process of colouring the whole animation, I spent around 1 week, more than 14 hours per day to complete. In this process, not only colouring the frames, I also drew and redrew a lot of backgrounds. This process was very repeatedly. There are different ways for me to create the lights and shadows: 1. colouring frame by frame, 2. create a clipping mask on a track above the coloured one and create the shadow, however the shadow will not move. I used both of the methods, the first one gives a better feeling of hand-drawing but might look flickering, the second one is faster and easier, but does not look detailed. For most of the scene in the first half I drew frame by frame, but for the last half, I used the second method, I did not know that I can do this while colouring the first half, but then I found out that different tracks can be masked and turn into a different colour mode. Audio For the sound of the animation, I was not sure what should I do. I looked up on Artlis...

Degree Project: Animation (4)

Image
 Linework 4 This is the part that I drew in Dreams, I drew the canvas and the old man, I simply traced the man using my original drawing of the man. I trickly covered the hand with the canvas to reduce some workload of animating. I also created the scene based on the drawing above, where the girl peeks her head and try to see what the old man is painting. I only drew the girl with a curious face then keyframed her by rotating and moving. After that, I drew two paintings using Procreate, those drawings can be referred to Dali's painting and Edward Hopper's painting. My thought was to pick some famous paintings and draw them, I picked these two as I thought they were very famous and relatively easy to draw as I did paint some copies back in the days I was doing A-Levels. I then animated a white block moving up to reveal those painting in front of the character. The grass was also drawn before colouring as I needed a better understanding to place the characters. After creating all...

Professional Practice - My Career Planning Strategy

My Career Planning Strategy Self-Reflection on Academic Attainment I am a graduating Digital Media Design student at the University of Hertfordshire. In the past three years, I have learned and used many practical software in the design field and gained more knowledge in different aspects such as graphic design, animation, illustration, web design, UX design, video editing, 3D modelling, game design, etc. By learning and using the software to create works, I have gained an understanding of different design production processes and some necessary knowledge, which will be very useful for my future work. I expect to graduate with second-class honours or third-class honours. Although my grades could be better, I am not afraid of not finding a job; I believe that if I start from a low level, most companies will be willing to hire me. Personal Values and Motivations I developed my career in design because I like art very much and have loved drawing since I was a child. Growing up, I realized...
