Part 3 The beginning of assignment 3
|
Part 3 The beginning of assignment 3 I have already gone over a bit about the concept that I made for Seamus Newman to create durying assignment 3 but now I will go over what I am supposed to be making and the concept made by Alexander Westerdahl. I am going to link the text that I was given about the character bio but first I am going to write a summary to you people who don’t want to read through all of it. The character is a Minion from the movies Despicable Me and its name is simply Minion. Minion works for the main character of the movies Gru. Minion is an assistant to the lead engenderer of Gru’s minions. He is not the smartest minion but he will get the job done. He has a rounded cylinder like body with tiny feet and long arms considering the size of their bodies. The Bio: Character concept.
Intelligence Even though they may not be the brightest, they make up for it in effort and the fact that you can always trust them. There are however, some things that minions do less well. One of those things are abstaining from practical jokes, in some cases minions may end up failing their task at hand due to excessive joking and laughing. Psychology Minions in general have a bright sense of humor and are always happy and joyful. Appearance Minions have a round cylinder like body with tiny feet and long arms considering the size of their bodies. Religion / Culture Minions have a reputation of being extremely loyal towards their employer / master. My minion He specializes in repairs and general engineering, assisting one of Gru’s lead engineering employees in his work. His primary tools feature a drill and a wrench. Even though he may not be the brightest, he makes up for it in dedication and loyalty. Glasses. The visual style is cartoon and has a lot of bright colors with not much detail on the body except the pants. Because I have had problems with the texture before because I have trouble with 2D I will have to try to show it on the pants while the skin of the character is just one color of yellow. I don’t know anything about the game or the game world except what I think I know from the movies and the role of the character. But I don’t think it is that much needed because most Minions look the same and I have gotten concept art of how this character is supposed to look with the goggles and pants. If needed I will try to add some sort of wrench or something that I got in the bio of things I could add though I think it will not count for this assignment because it is a prop and it will have its own poly count. One of the problems that I need to look into is that when we have lectures we will be going through character that are more human looking in anatomy and shape. I will have to take what we learn and try to apply it to this character that still is an organic character but still not really a humanoid. This hopefully will not be a problem though I want to make it as much as our teacher wants the edge flow to be like so I will have to ask her while I model to quickly find problems and solve them fast. For me this character is rather boring in its sense that there is not a lot of details and things going on but something being boring is not an excuse to do a bad job or not at all. So this will be good practice to model something that I have no creative drive to do. The positive thing though is that the character is rather simple except for the problem that I have stated before is the post. So in this assignment the simplicity might be the fall for me in more than one way. The first being is that I don’t get the knowledge from the lectures that are needed for this model and my drive being low so that I will get stuck and not work as efficient as I can. |
