Paper creations

To help me create characters in 3D that look like paper, I decided to try to create things real paper, below is the photo of my attemps.

 

Looking at the moodborads i created, I really liked a faces maded from a toliet roll. Below is the image of the face. 

 

I try to repicate it in both paper and 3Ds. the paper face was succussful, but and 3D version didnt work very well. this highlighted to me how hard it will be to create a paper like characters.



 



Character Design

For this asignment I was asked to create two characters using my chosen theme of paper. One character had to be no more than 600tri's and the other character no more than 6000. I first created moodboards, one with paper art and another with characters mae from paper.

Game Idea

The game ideas I my going to start to develop is a platform game on Ipad which will have a coloured pop-up card look. The game will have paper enemies and the player will have the ability to cut the paper in the environment and reuse the paper. I will upload concept art as i finish it. below is a initial 3D mock -up of my game.


 

Basic 3D mock-up. Colours and shape will porbly change a lot.


 

Update on 3D mock-up



Theme

After some research and a few mind map, I have decide on a theme, i will be basing my assignments on paper art and paper engineering. i have decided to go with this theme as i think it will produce some interesting ideas from it. I also have an interest and will enjoy learning about the different areas of paper art like Origami. 

now that i have come up with my theme i will start coming up with game ideas, using mind maps and create thumbnails of concept art.

Coming up with a theme

 I am trying to come up with a theme for this project and I am finding it very difficult. I don't fully understand what I'm trying to find. I have created a few mind maps, but don't know what I'm getting out of them. perhaps an idea will come to me, but at the moment  have no clue what theme I am after.

Games Proposal

This blog has been set up for my Games Proposal unit. The unit will be split up into 4 assignments. The blog will include research, design and art work. The 4 assignments include Game Conception, character conception, Level Design and Environment Design. 

My first task is to come up with a theme, I will research different topics in depth until I come up with a strong theme or ideas to base the assignment on. After I have researched different themes and ideas. I will create a project plan outlining the aims and outcomes for this project.
