Movie Parts ( Research )

This clip is made up of parts from the TV series Outcasts that has the same concept as the game and I put this together to show the best parts like the ship entering obit, the transmission braking up and the ship crashing.   

Roles in our Group (Meetings)

Jamie - 3D modeler, textures and Unity.

Rebecca - 3D modeler and 2D concept art.

Cat - Scripting and 2D concept art.

Alice - Scripting and textures.

Alistair - 3D modeler and Unity.

Possible Visual Effects ( Research )

Dysmetropsia, i.e., macropsia, micropsia, pelopsia and teleopsia (objects appearing larger, smaller, nearer and further away)

Tilted vision, inverted vision and other forms of illusory rotation

Diplopia (double vision)

Polyopia (vision of multiple images)

Visual perseveration, i.e., prolonged afterimages, palinopsia (the persistence or reappearance of an image of a previously viewed object), illusory visual spread (the illusory extension of the visual perception over an area greater than that which the stimulus-object would be expected to excite)

Cinematographic vision (visual illusion whereby the normal perception of moving objects is replaced by seeing a series of "stills" as in a film run too slowly)

Corona phenomenon (extra-contour around objects)
 

Illusory visual splitting

Metamorphopsia (distorted vision)

Facial metamorphopsia (distorted vision of human faces)

Mosaic illusion (fracture of the visual image into pieces dovetailed together as in a mosaic)

Autokinesis (illusion of apparent movement of stationary objects)

Tunnel vision
 


These are visual illusions which are a distortion or modification of a real visual image which have some effects we could emulate in our game.

Alistair: This I thought was a good Visual Effects

could use the butterfly effect to show polyopia?

Animation for Presentation ( Concept Art )

 

Here is an simple animation I made for the opening of the powerpoint to make it look more profestional and futureitic

below is the end jpeg we will use for the background of the powerpoint to give the idea that its a seamless transition from the opening to the rest of the powerpoint. the link to the powerpoint is below in dropbox https://www.dropbox.com/home#!/home/Dionysus/Powerpoint

Storyboard and beginning scene image ( Research & Concept Art )

1: kids running (they are running towards the ship to board)

2: kids running up to adults and waitin in a mass group to board

3: so many years laters, the ship about to prepare to land

4: people aking up from cryo sleep

5: frantic running (well after effects type stuff) and fire outside the window

6: extreme angle of ship about to crash

7: people in thir spacesuits firey type light?

8: the fragment of the ship thats crashed

9: a hand emerging from rubble

obviously the sounds we put to this will make everything come togethe i plan to have from 1 to 4 narrated with an advert style voice over, 'volunteer from around the world cant wait to board Midas (ships name________) for the opportunity of a lifetime to help discover the secrets of newly discovered planet __________ (i want to talk about the planet name tomorrow not about changing it but youll see what i mean when we discuss it?) and then it will start to fizzle nd crack and then there will be screaming and fire noises. i think this is better than trying to make a vector style advert (one because im no good with this ) and because i think dead spcae 3 had a great effect with its art style and that mixed with the contrasting sounds i think will explain our game? any comments would be a great help 

the art style im doing these guys on diffeent layers so i can animate it on after effects . 

 

Alistair: This video from Homeworld 2 shows I good crash of a ship at the start which I think we should use the same style as I think this was done in afteraffests with drawn images. The other video was done in the same why but I think these are good exarples of what we want to do.

 

 

 

Alistair: using the ideas above I made this clip of 30 seconds with the ship bracking up in the atmosphere of the planet it is basic but its the idea I had in my head.

 

Colony Ship ( Concept Art & 3D Work )

Inspiration

This is the colony ship that Vesta had built to colonize other planets this is a colony built and designed by the Vesta Coronation this is one still under construction at Vesta Lunar Ship Yard.

Problem: At home when I was making this model in the four point view for some reason I could not see it in the top view and in the side view I could only see though the picture and if I moved it I would be unable to see it. and also some parts are unable to be seen like the gravity ring in the top view it can been seen but in the fount view it can not be seen.

JJ Edit:

middle far right one is the perfect exampole of size.

Logo For Vesta ( Concept Art )

Alistair: Here are some logos i designed for the company Vesta, I looked at making it look like a big corporation with hard colours and lines. This image will go on facebook and a vote will be taken to see which one we will use out of the six logos.

Team mates pleseas vote on are facebook page logos 1-7 link below

Toop:-

Cathleen : I used both toops and alistairs ideas and made these:-

To do ( Meetings )

• Create 3D objects for After effects trailer (Ship + planets)
• Get concept and development art for environment, ship, character, plants, objects etc. so it can be used in the presentation
• Complete PowerPoint Presentation
• Toop - Make poster for ship in style of Eric Tan (vector), ship interior design (futuristic)

(Feel free to add anything I missed - probably a fair amount)

Planet 9 ( 3D Work )

this is the gas gian the main planet will be orbiting.

the gas giant has an effect on the planet's wether, such as ice seasons where the planet would be passing through the shadow of the gas giant.

organic planet is on the way.

Organic Planet is Hear!

yep, after some minore complications and alot of tryal and errors the Organic Planet is neer 100% compleation :)

hear are the renders:

Plants and Fungi Drawings (Concept Art & Research )

Over the weekend I have been working on researching different kinds of plants, and thinking of how we could try and use existing plants and change them up a little bit to fit in to our world.

As you have to eat plants to stay alive, I thought it would be a good idea to have them looking appetizing rather than noticeably weird and something that you wouldn't want to particularly eat.

Alistair: here are some drawings i did of some plant ideas
