Mech backstory

I would like to create a sense of story with this Mech, showing where the Mech came from and where it would be at current time. I have two ideas currently. The first is that the Mech is used to fight battles in an army, piloted by a trained soldier. This army fighting for a […]

Modelling the Mech

Once I had created sketches and finalised what I wanted my Mech to look like, I imported a straight on view into Maya. This allowed me to get the proportions and sizes correct for each object. I used the different manipulators to change the shapes of each object, slowly creating the Mech piece by piece. […]

Existing robotic animation (Inspiration)

0In order to gain inspiration for what the I want the final animation will emulate. While I will not be able to produce an animation that is up to the same quality as a full budget film, I want to take the moving parts and machinery look to it. An example of this is the […]

Mech sketches (Initial ideas)

These sketches were produce using a Wacom drawing tablet and Photoshop. When I produce the final sketches that will go on to be 3D animated, I will first use pencil and paper, then reproduce them in more detail in Photoshop, then 3D model them. These sketches are to try and get my mindset into the […]

FMP Mood Boards

In order to gain some inspiration for my 3D animation, I looked at current images of Mechs. These are from a variety of films, games, tv shows and other images. These mechs come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, some very resemblant of the human structure with added on weapons. While some look […]

VR game mock up

I created assets of what the actual game would look like if it were to be fully produced. I used a render that Tom had produced of the battle arena with enemies everywhere. I used Adobe Illustrator to make an ammo count, health bar and score display. I took the neon look and feel that […]

VR game backstory

The first thing that the player would appear to do is wake up and would first see a futuristic city with neon lights everywhere and robotic enemies. This would give off the sense that the city is in good condition with the robots being the only mystery as to why they’re attacking you. The player […]

My work (process summary)

In order to create my weapons, I had to go through the process of gaining inspiration and proceed through all the steps. I first made mood boards in order to gain insight into what my weapons could look like and what sort of ammunition and other weapon assets could be used. I mainly took inspiration […]

This includes films such as Marvel’s The Avengers, Avatar, Distict 9 and Game Of Thrones.
