Practice script

Hi I'm Robert and I'll be blabbering about my research I have done and the techniques used to gather it, there are three types, primary being research I have done on my own from first hand, secondary being from websites and other people's work, and thirsury being gathered from a directory of results. Here I was asked to research assassins creed, the development of graphics through the series and a quick review of one of my favourites, I talk about the plot what the developers thought of the plot and why they chose to make it look how it does and the changes, which has been illustrated and links provided from their sources. [displays links to the sites and images close up] Here for my specialist research I talk about why I came into the industry, my inspirations my, goals and where I would like to be, I conduct research on the state of the industry how it's grown and where it's going in terms of VR, here I also provide links and references to different articles as shown you can see more on the second part of my task 1 document. Now here I look at the history of animation, the work was a collaboration with many other students in my class and we use a huge range of sites and documents to build this summarised piece as you can see to present this I have broken it down into block to look more like a uniform timeline, quick to find the areas you need. As a result of my research here is a pre production document That I am working on to produce an animation for a unit, from the research I have learnt to make sure that it is all clear, stating a good target audience, I have made a clear structure for the document with broken down sections, I am keeping in mind what is already out there and the ethical states, which was not previously a concern that i had. Looking back at my research I am happy to now have the skills to properly look into areas for improvement to keep informed on what the industry is doing at the time, I need to focus on using more areas of interest to flush out subjects, as you could have seen there was a lack of variety in some of the documents for all types of research to help keep it reliable looking. The separated images that you have seen are from recent projects as a result of the research I have conducted. so on the subject of the validity of my research; you can see from the areas I have marked behind me I have separated each type of research, primary, secondary, tushury, so that it is easy to see, looking at my assassins creed piece, we can see links and underlined phrases that show where I had gotten the research and what I searched to find them, I have looked at several sites for all of my work, non of which being Wikipedia, and that’s purely because while it is a great site, it can still be changed by anyone both professional and amateur

3D Environments: Task 2 what?

3d environments are used for many things, people call their purpose into many categories, first: A 3D Environment is a digital space that was modelled by 3d objects and should be comprised of several objects.

Movies/Film In the creation of films 3D can be used in two different ways, green screen or a fully digital movie, with a fully digital movie similar to the creations of pixar, Dreamworks and many others clearly the movie would be created from many different environments all of witch would be created digitally with the use of software like 3ds max, Maya, cinema 4D. With a green screen situation where real props and characters are put into a digital space, which would need to first be created in 3D to get a realistic scene.

Games In games especially 3D games each level you play in are 3D environments people use a 3D environment for two reasons either an artistic choice to bring greater immersion, atmosphere and realism for the players experience, the graphic style of the scene can help explain and build the world you are in, weather story or backstory using only the visuals to help the player. The environments can also be used in game play as obstacles, in games the point is to have a challenge/goal, if the environment is interesting the level will provide interactions to the environment and make you want to explore it, the interaction in the game world is important, to it is ideal to have a 3D environment that persuades you to do so.

Simulations 3D environments can be used for more than entertainment, like in engineering and science, an environment could be created then scripted to simulate physics, example:b you could create a building then add objects to be affected by real world physics, using that you could simulate how the building would be affected by wind, rain, blown up, demolished or extended, it can give you a visual representation for what would happen in the real world. Companies already use systems like Bim (Building information modeling Bim is a process involving the generation and management of digital representations of physical and functional characteristics of places), Freeflow even maya and many other software to show ideas in a clear to see plan.

Education and Art spaces some schools use 3D environments to their advantage, many people know that the youth today like playing video games, and some schools have created 3D environments that showcase knowledge, art, general information to their students, in many different ways similar to how the world would use it like science class with fully featured explosions due to the effects of mixing dangerous chemicals, or knocking down a building due to in accurate blueprints in an architecture class, they use game and physics software like Freeflow, unreal engine 4, Unity 3D and many others.

3D environments: Task 1

The mizuchi game engine show reel A preserved museum environment, a simple droid patrolling the room, working in the museum.

I picked this environment primarily because of the lighting , the warm bright sun shafts piercing through the windows, illuminating the room via a portal light tool, while looking abandoned the room still manages to be cleaned due to the working robot. The Mizuchi team created and published the build as well as creating the engine’s tools used for the build, Its purpose was to show off the power of their new engine, intended for next gen consoles and PC hardware alike.

Taking a closer look at the piece most models are relatively simple, however when looking at the fine details they have added and their texturing, materials, a good lens filter for the colours seen, together make a well thought out environment. They have also being efficient with their polygon usage, in background areas like the bookshelf you can tell that the modeling is simple, when foreground  objects like the camera close up are much more details, a denser use of polygons and a higher texture resolution and fine materials, together show a professional grade scene that understand real world lighting and an all around good representation.

This wasn't the only environment to inspire me, but it does use many qualities that i tend to love in environments, good lighting usage, it fills the room showing a high contrast in colour making the shadows long and dark, an empty room other than a small droid wandering the vicinity, presumably working to keep the place clean, because of it being a droid and not a human, it adds to the atmosphere of feeling alone and abandoned, around the room we see relics from our history like an old camera that the droid looks closer at, without the warm light this would be a highly gloomy,bleak, forgotten a greatly mysterious place which will always peak mine and many people interests for exploration.
