Task 6
- 1. Salford City College Eccles Sixth Form Centre BTec Level 3 Extended Diploma in Creative Media Production Games Design Unit 66 – 3D Modelling HA5 – Sidekick Task 6 – Production Name Harry Johnson Date: 10/3/14 During this time period I researched images for my robot design this was easy because it only took me ten minutes and because I had a good idea of what I was looking for on the internet for my design. I had a good look on the internet and found some more realistic images in which are relevant to my idea in which I was going for so I took these images and put them all together to try figure out what I was going to do with them and how I was going to combine them into my final design idea. The ideas I came up with were good because of these images that I why I went for a more human like robot to enable the design of my robot from these research images you can see in the below. Date: 13/3/14 Today I began to develop my ideas Generation this was an easy process because I knew that I was trying to get a more human like image for my robot so I just jumped right in and began to develop my robot I first began to start with the head at this stage I came up with a mask to prevent extra work and to cove the head of the robot I did this because I know it would be easier for me to create the mask instead of creating a face for the robot. I also decided to go with a wheel for its feet because it would also make my job easier and it would be time consuming for me to create a wheel so I went with it and I am sure I will develop my robot this way due to this reason I thing I could develop my robot this way.
- 2. Date:17/3/14 Today I started my design pack in my design pack I had a few designs in which help me develop and come up with my final product before I started my final design in modeller my design is a simple but good design because you can see its more human features like its body shape but you can tell it’s a robot because off its wheel for its legs and because it looks more like a robot than a human although it has got human features. I believe my design is what I wanted to get because it looks almost as good as it looks I my head I did try to get it to the best possible standard I could but I could only come up a simple design for now but when I begin to produce it in modeller I will make sure I add other features like spikey shoulders to ensure it looks goods and so it fits into what I was try to get but I am trying to make it simple due to the time period that I am going to be working on my robot so I may add more to it depending on the time I have available to create it. I used the paper you can see below because it enabled me to get accurate lines and to get the right shape of my robot.
- 3. Date:20/3/14 Today I started to do my Model building I first started with a box and then went from there to create my robot the first thing I done was I started on the chest of my robot to get a more smooth and human like chest shape for my robot to do this I used the extrude tool and then the multi-shift to ensure I could get the shape I wanted and to make sure I made a good start to my robots production. Soon After I started the chest after getting the shape I wanted on one side I cut then mirrored the imaged to get a perfect chest shape which turned out pretty well. Soon after the chest I started on the arms of the robot this was a challenge because I had to get the right size and the right length to make sure that certain parts don’t look stupid and over grown compared to the rest of the robots parts this was easier after getting the shape right because it meant that I would only need to add a bit of detail like the hand blade during this I had to multi-shift allot and extrude t get the shape I needed and then after that I began the arm pits this was difficult but after doing it I felt it wasn’t that hard and that I could do it again maybe a bit better. Soon after this I began to do my finishing touches such as the mask and the wheel on my robot this is to ensure that it looks more like the image I drew and to ensure that I have stuck to what I said and added additional parts because I had a bit of extra time and because I felt that it lacked detail so I added some to it which aren’t in the picture. Overall I felt the creation process went well due to the fact I had access to modeller to create him in. if I was to have more time I would have done for a better design but I did what I could in the time I had. Date:21/4/14 Today I began to add textures to my model this was a slightly easy process due to the fact that all I had to do was add textures to different parts of my robot this enabled me to make it allot more shinier and it allowed me to mess around with the colour and even change some parts off the robot to make it look more slick and less boring unlike before this is my opinion you may think it looks just as good in its earlier stages. Here you can see the different stages of me changing the colours of the robot this was because I wanted to get the best looking robot I could so I messed around with the different textures to get what I wanted in the final product. During this process I found it to be challenging at some parts due to the fact that it took allot of time finding the texture that I needed to finalise my robot as you can see in the below I did get the textures I wanted and this is what made it look better and more intimidating in my eyes.
