3D Character and object design

Although I have been mainly in a website/programming mood lately and concentrating on getting a website made, I have also been doing some small bits of 3D design in between.

Below are some images of drawers/filing cabinets I started making for possible use in the game concept I was working on, but haven't got very far on. These would also be usable as generic furniture objects for use in other projects.

I've not added any textures to them yet, which is what I really should be working on over the summer, and I will eventually do some texturing, but for now they're alright in gray.

As well as this I worked on some 3D cartoon models I had created before, for an first anniversary card for my sister and her husband.

Unreal Level

Ahhh all projects for this year done and handed in, just an essay to hand in tomorrow which I'm printing out now. I'm pretty happy with the work I have done this year, and although I think I was a bit ambitious with the scale of my level, which I think ended up with it being more quantity than quality I still think it turned out quite well. Its not up to a proffessional standard but it has been very useful working on the unreal level, in learning how to use the game engine as well as the 3D software maya. I know I would be able to create the same level with much more ease if I were to do it again.

Over the summer I am going to try and achieve a few projects.

1. Another unreal level. A bit smaller than the one I have done for the term three project, but with more detail and more work with maya and photoshop in creating tiles. I might have it completely platform based and try and work with some of the physics to make a more advanced, less first person shooter-ish level.

2. Work on my website, put some new stuff on it, get my projects up on there, etc

3. Come up with a game concept/idea for a flash or unreal level, plan it out and if I have time start working on it. Something to put on blog.

4. Some work with maya creating general static meshes to use on projects.

5. A summer comic of some kind, maybe an interactive animated comic or something.

map of my almost finished level (made changes since) quite a bit of the level is underground so this picture is pretty pointless :P

Comics

I have spent quite a while uploading some of my comics onto a blogger page. These are comics I made when I was in year 10 (aged 15), based on events that took place with me and my friend Henry (as you will tell if you read them, very little ever happened to us). I have uploaded 30 of them so far but there are quite a few more yet, just I couln't be bothered sitting here doing that all day, and blogger has been annoying me.

Anywayyyy the link is here if you're interested; Gibbo Comics

Cheers

I havn't posted anything on my blog this week which isn't very good so I thought it best I wrote and showed what I've been doing.

This week I have worked on my Interactive Narrative project as well as helping edit my groups Narrative video and creating some flash animation for it. Since I was ill on the monday and tuesday I couldn't get in to work on my Interactive Narrative so I started it again from home using drawn graphics and photographs. My website seems to be down at the moment but when its up the project should be accessable at http://www.guiblin.com/gibbo/uni/IN/hallway.html

The flash animation I created for the computer screen is also on my website so hopefully it will be back up soon! The address for that is http://beta.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=35738175

Last week I also created a quick animation on flash which I uploaded onto YouTube.

This doesn't include any sound yet but here it is anyway.



I also uploaded a different animation which I made last year which is a very silly simple animation (again without sound).
