Isaac P. Games Art Yr2 + 3

  posting it here so I can share it with people more easily it might be worth having a copy of this tab open so you can have a look at the appendices at the same time/ as it comes up in the main text, there's a lot of cool dragon designs in there that I would've talked about if not for the fact the word count/ limit got halved </3     

 Final model (and posed model):            Asset renders:    Development log:       

  Here's an attempt at rendering it in maya:   and here's the full model on sketchfab:    I'm relatively happy with how this turned out, I probably would've spent a lot more time on the textures given more time; I wanted to give it a sort of papercraft look (inspired by one of my classmates who made his look like it was sculpted from clay) but ended up painting over most of the texture. I also would've sculpted and then baked a higher poly version, with alphas to emulate various textures like felt, etc. This came out looking more like a PS2 model, which is still pretty cool even if it was unintentional.    Here is the process in case you're curious:        

      This feels really informal compared to our other projects, usually there's a lot more research and everything involved - it was actually kinda hard getting this down to 10 slides. Might add another powerpoint under this one with *everything* on it later...      Update: here is everything I had to cut for the final presentation:        

   I made a trailer for the game:       And I made a bunch of last minute dialogue boxes, as once we'd made the game, there wasn't really a story, and I wanted to make sure we fit the brief since we hadn't actually discussed mental health in the game. It's not much, and pretty surface level, but it's better than nothing. It's also important to note here that I only did the lineart and the dialogue here, the rest was done by other people in the group (Henry coloured and shaded the sprites, and Holly made the notebook style dialogue box with all the little doodles etc)         They're all seperate files, and I had to remove the characters after + correct a few spelling mistakes, but this is the general idea   for the trailer I made some fake screenshots, by screenshotting the game so far and editing it to make it look like how it was going to look (slightly different for the trailer) - I added a lense blur and then the dialogue boxes: ...
