[Narrative] 44: Bon Appétit: Pre-Vis with Sound

Pre-Vis created by Adam, sound added by me. All royalty free sound effects will be referenced in a later post.

[Narrative] 43: Female Character; Head Modelled

Sukhi has modelled the female's body, so now the two parts simply need to be brought together.

[Narrative] 42: Male Character Modelling; COMPLETE - Turnaround

[Narrative] 41: Male Character Modelling; Body Progress 02

[Character Design] 23: Sulfur Creature - Thumbnails 1 - 5

I need to try different angles to the cobra-like hood because it isn't very clear - if I decide to keep it. I also need to test out other versions of horns. I also need to incorporate sulfur's textures more.

[Narrative] 40: Male Arm Top & Front View

Adjustments have been made to the arm's front view to more accurate accommodate the dimensions of the fingers and thumb.

[Narrative] 39: Male Character Modelling; Body Progress 01

So far I have completed the shirt and the bow tie, meanwhile the apron is in progress.

[Narrative] 38: Male Character Modelling; Head Progress 05 - COMPLETE

I am aware of several errors in the model, the most significant of these exist as part of the hair - these include: a triangle at the back of the head and the hair wrapping around the back of the head in an odd manner, and the likely unnecessary high level of geometry used to make up the hair, among other errors I may not be aware of. 

An error that does not require remedying is the width of the face, this is purely the fault of the character's symmetry at an orthographic level.

It is hoped that I will have the full character model complete by tomorrow at 2pm, at which point I plan to receive guidance from Alan concerning fixing my model's issues.

Since my last post I have given the nose nostrils, completed the throat, modelled the hair, modelled the eyebrows and added the eyes. The eyebrows had to be scaled up because in three dimensions they looked too small and feminine.

[Narrative] 37: Male Character Modelling; Head Progress 04

With the head nearly complete, I will soon be able to move on to modelling the hair and body - a process which will be much quicker and easier due to their relative simplicity.

While some things worked in 2D, they did not work in 3D; such as the lack of detail of the ears, the size of the nose, the lack of an iris and the angle of the ears. 

I have also incorporated a subtle love heart shape into the design of the nose. At the time of posting, the throat is currently in progress.

[Character Design] 21: Game Board; 3D Block Out

To better design for a 3D board game, I found it far easier to physically block out the board itself in three dimensions rather than struggle with gaining a suitable design in 2D.

Descending, the board's platforms include:
Crust, Upper Mantle, Lower Mantle, Outer Core, Inner Core, Deep Core. 



This design took inspiration from a cross-section of the Earth, the futuristic connotations of hexagons, the shape of a drill head and a cardboard cake stand. Within the middle is an elevator shaft which a small hexagonal platform navigates up and down between the sections of the Earth.

The white circular platform is not part of the board itself, nor do the colours represent actual colours of the game's design. The board game in its current form, stands at 70cm tall.
