Building Concepts

Some concepts for Webdragons project. Trying to create a tron like environment, was harder to pull off then planned.

 

Character models

These are the character models we went with for the Web Dragons animation. Influenced by Molly Bang
style.

Pixel Theme Process

This is the progress to find the best resolution to pixalise the animation. We had to blow it out to 1080p so the most pixelated size didn't work. So we went with the middle ground.

Web Dragons

Thought I'd add some old work in here as well. This was done for an intern project at uni. Working with a partner to create a animation. We had extreme trouble with our client. But in the end we had something. We combined 3d and 2d elements to tell the story provided to us.

Here are the final screen plates created for the animation showing different scenes at certain stages through the animation.

This is an experiment that our coordinator asked us to try out for a ":theming" for our animation. Creating a pixelised feel to the animation. I'll upload the different size resolutions we tried after this post.

 

3d Models (Degree show)

Here are some raw 3d models i created for my degree project. Will upload a video (which was in my project) later.

New Updated Unreal Engine 3

 Found this video show casing the new and improved Unreal Engine 3. For anyone that has used the unreal engine before these new features are great!

Logo 2 idea for design

Design class 1

Just a quick picture of a image i was playing with an idea for design class.

Idea = having half sentences coming around hallways/doors in the library

Update alittle late

Been slacking off posting here due to masses of work from uni at the moment. But will update when i can.

Here is a maze I've been working on for design project. Really rough (concept)

Here are some photos taken of Hamilton city's main bridge at night. Went for a walk in the middle of the night in the pouring rain to get these. I took some long distance shots farther down the river, but due to the rain and it being at night the photos didn't turn out very well.

Post process = sharping, touch up of photos, cropping and a slight curve light improvement.

Had a play with some photo filters to try and get a strong night shot feel with the blue. But i found the originals to be more effective.

Creation

Finally decided to start my own blog. Where i hope it will help me to motivate myself to create more design and improve my design. I hope to keep this updated daily with whatever i am doing.
