week 1/week2: blocking out


Week 1
we recieved our brief for this module and our task over the next term is to find a 2D illustrated concept and create a 3D version from that concept, we can go our own way with it if we want but obviously we must stick to the core concept as much as we can.

I was originally going to create the cargo bay of the ship serenity from the popular tv series firefly seeing as i wanted something like that for my portfolio but it had already been done and we needed to do something off our own backs also i didnt have an actual solid 2D concept for it so now im looking for something else that i could possibly use that has similarities in terms of architecture and texture.

Week 2
I've managed to find something just purely through a simple google image search that I can perfectly use to adapt to my firefly influences it seems to fit the brief well it still has some sci-fi elements to it that I want to take out and replace with the "western/sci-fi" feel that firefly has and I also would like to put in subtle chinese references in it aswell like the odd chinese lantern or a scroll with pin-yin on it to really give it that firefly feel

here is the concept with a couple of references from firefly that i would like to add such things like the patchwork metal and the dirty used rusty metal look

This blog is used to represent my work on the  BA (hons) computer games modelling and animation module Advanced 3D. The next post will be a two part post because we are currently in week 2 of this module so week 1 will be covered.
