Industry Practice: Character Story and Question Feedback

 Industry Practice: Character Story and Question Feedback

In todays session, we went through different alpha testing steps. These include but are not limited to:
1. Decide & Record Methodology 
2. Create Testing Methods 
3. Complete Testing 
4. Record and Present Results 
5. Analysis and Summary of Feedback 
6. Reflect on Feedback 
7. Decide ‘Actions’ to Improve your Artwork

These are just suggestions we made to each other in class in a group discussion.

  • We discussed in a group about stories and questions.
  • I may make a reversal of the questions, where the patient asks the questions as that is what Sam (Director) did. This isn't set in stone though.
  • Might be a good idea to make the story longer.
  • We think for the sake of the characters interacting with each other, our characters will be from a former friend group that drifted apart for different reasons.
  • Collectables is an idea - could be found in character backgrounds
  • Faye suggested the idea of seeing the character dialogue trees in game so players could see where to go.

Toolkit 3D - Character Sculpt Project

 Toolkit 3D - Character Sculpt Project Research and Thumbnails For the 3D side of toolkit, our project was to create a character from one of many briefs. With a specific style and inspiration I am already fond of, I chose brief number one: the Cybernetic Samurai. Looking at the brief I have chosen, it states that the character needs to be " A fusion of traditional samurai armour with futuristic robotic enhancements, glowing energy veins, and a mask that combines human features with mechanical parts." This is a lot of specific details to unpack, so I created a diagram of the different features that I could add to as I research. By treating these different sections as whiteboards, I can research them individually so that I have lots of ideas I could add into the thumbnails.  As usual with 3D modelling, I started with researching specific styles to use as inspiration. Style Research To start with, I began by looking at games before individual artists. I first looked at Bomb Rus...

Toolkit 3D - In-Engine 3D Character Modelling Process

 Toolkit 3D - In-Engine 3D Character Modelling Process This blog will include the timelapse, and timestamps referring to said timelapse with explanations. I normally take screenshots as I work, and annotate those, but I feel that I want to try a different method of documenting my process since screenshots can be disruptive. Firstly, as a refresher, my final design for my character is below. Normally, I would bring this into the 3D software so I could have the reference there, but I opted not to do this. I find references in ZBrush to be disruptive more than anything towards my workflow, and I prefer working with the reference in another monitor whilst sculpting, rather than it being in the software. Here is the timelapse, which I will reference when giving a timestamp and explaining my process. STEP 1: CREATING THE MESH The Body For this model, I wanted to push myself out of my comfort zone a lot more than last project. Last time, I heavily relied on Blender, only really using ZBru...
