Up Above Down Below; Final Piece

Not so happy with this one, there's a lot more I wanted to do with it but didn't leave enough rendering time. The lighting could have been better, there could have been more in the scene, the speed needed to be regulated at the start and I didn't get to put in my big finish, which was to change the camera view at the end towards the earth to see it be blown up by the giant space invader.

Progress

So it's been a week and a bit of neglection for my blog, sorry this tends to happen around a month before hand in dates, anyway just a quick sum up of where I am with my projects, what they're going to be and why:

Up Above Down Below

Back to the beginning of modelling, Simon told me to change my idea slightly, unfortuantly that 'slight' change is where I had done all my modelling, so many wasted hours there.

The Idea - 'Space Elevator', the cart shoots into space, exploring planets and moons, but it also passes by thiins you might want to see in space but never experience, i.e. a black hole, comet close up, an exploding planet and a giant space invader.

Of Bots And Bananas

Modelling the robot, in a few days modelling the scenery. The robot is nothing spectacular as it doesn't have to be, for the time being I'm going to concentrate on the animation. The scenery consists of two mountains, with a rope bridge attacthing them.

The Idea - 'The Bridge', a robot falls from the sky and lands on a mountain side, he wants to get across to the other side so crosses a bridge, he sees a plank missing and steps over it only to slip on a banana peel, he falls continuesly hitting off of the mountain. When he lands it's back to the start of the animation, so it can loop.

Card Game

Designed second prototype, with all cards designed and a clear rule set. Still space for changes to be made if there needs to be any, currently play testing the game and have been for two weeks nearly.

The Idea - Each player has to save their victims and scores points for doing so, it's long winded to explain properly so feel free to find the rule set on here, it's tagged under 'Card Game'.
