A new year begins!
After quite the uneventful summer, I am now back at university for the year (woo!) and I am incredibly excited to kick things off with this 3D environment project, labelled Visual Immersion. Essentially we have 14 weeks to go from concept to an AAA quality environment, making use of all the processes and pipelines. Our brief, prompt and plan have already been layed out for us! All I need to do is get started and ready to tackle this project head on!
A Plan? Where to start?
Before starting any project, I need to know what I will want to make for the assignment based off of the concept and themes. We had a wide selection of themes for this project, from post-apocolypse to modern day retro. In the end, I decided to go with the option for an abandonded utopia, as the concept of having a utopia fall to nature and natural causes seems appealing to me. Aside with this comes the process of moodboards.
Alongside with my moodboard and project specification, I need to make sure that I also plan out the amount of time that I have for the project to make sure that I stay on track throughout the production process. I also intent to keep this up to date by marking the colours in the weeks appropriately based on my progress, much like an asset list of some sort.
With this I also have a project proposal document, informing my lecturers of all the details regarding my project, such as risks, progress, and inspiration.
But for now! This concludes Week 1! In week two I’ll be looking at thumbnails so I can start to get a general idea of what my project is going to look like.
