scene layout

From the first two images you can see the transformation from a simple block out layout with the floor to the scene with all the components put together on your right also with a included water system. As for the two scenes below, these are the two scenes to which will be rendered for my concept pieces.

Pillar Development

Taking influence from the pillars found in Roman architecture I started of developing some pillars of my own, but since  my time period for my pieces were set in the future I had to change the designs a little bit and even the materials used for them.

To keep in the colour scheme used for the rest of the environment I basically used the same material. And to add to the futuristic feel I added orange glows to the top and bottom of the pillar.

From a plane I simply extruded it out in the centre and added the same colour scheme as the pillars to match and duplicated pillars out several times.

layout scene drawing

For the first scene  I want to establish that the law enforcement were the dominant characters of the scene. I want to use low angle shots to show their sense of scale. For the second scene I want to establish  the control over the civilians that the law enforcement have, and influenced by the German concentration camp research, were the prisoners walked along fenced paths, I will have the civilians doing the same while being watched by the law enforcement . To show all the characters I wanted to create a large scale scene. Scene three will show the dominance over the civilians they have, and will be the part just before the law enforcement attack them. This scene will also show the civilian cowering.

Photography used

character development

Instead of having to rig a character that I would create which would consume too much time, I decided upon using a 3D model of a human as a base then nclothing the plane over it. I later then deleted the 3D model of the human, leaving only the cloth shaped as a human.

 Taking inspiration from the killzone characters more in particular I developed a head which used fairly similar colour schemes but at the same time I wanted to make this characters head more robotic looking.

door development

For the design of the door I wanted to go for a something that almost looked panelled, which was inspired by my research into the games such as dead space and killzone. For the colour scheme I wanted to stick to the same textures used in the rest of the scene so it wouldn't look out of place.

floor development

 Here I have started the process of developing the floor for my second & third scene attempting to make panels to give a more futuristic feeling.

For the development of the lights I wanted to go for something which felt more sci-fi themed. At first I had the idea of going for wall panelled lights but I thought that because I was doing concept pieces with just a singular views I felt that the viewer wouldn't see much of these lights. Instead I placed these lights on the floor.

 For this section I have decide to include a dip in the centre as this will be were the water conduct will be placed in the scene.

In the end  for most of the textures on the floor I used the same metallic picture but made variations of it changing the the colour ever so slightly but for the light metallic texture in the centre I used the same picture but edited it vastly on Photoshop adding bevels and inner shadows in the blend mode.  

     

                                     

Bridge Development

Both here and on the red & silver texture below I developed using blend modes, bevelling parts of the texture to almost make it seem like its extruded out.  

Here I have been extruding out some of the panels, to which you can see on the texture below to enhance the look that are actually sticking out of the wall, as if it was just the texture itself, you may get a little bump through the normal maps but it would have been mainly flat.

Here I have started on the introduction of including lighting to my first scene using the same glow to which is shown on the the orange lights to give more of an effect that the lights are being reflected onto the surface of the metallic floor.

character developmental drawings

 In this example I wanted to go more away from the killzone look and make the face/head more robotic looking .

Taking influence from games such killzone and borderlands I developed this mask based on these games, I went for the gas mask sort of look and panelled  armour to emulate abs.

Mise en scène

For my scene I almost want to create a sort of concept art piece using 3D models and photo graphic elements to it, so I started researching into things like Mise en scène, which in a basic description is a term used to describe how a scene would be layed out e.g. the design aspects for a film, game, theatre etc and how this scene would be used to tell a story. And I thought how could I apply this term to my concept piece, it would have to be through a extreme action which would give heavy suggestion. But luckily since I chose the subject of corruption in society - the corruption coming from the law enforcement, it would be easy to play on that fact.

For inspiration I started looking into things like the trailer for metroid, which introduced elements of film and CG. I wanted to go for the same look but play more heavily upon the CG element.

borderlands influene

For my law enforcement characters, I want a sort of evil looking mask/ helmet to which would make it very easy to establish that they are the bad guys. These two from borderlands and killzone I think pull that off really well.

CONCENTRATION CAMPS

I had already looked at the corruption in society of mexico, but I thought what would be a worse place/ time period that people had no freedom at all, the answer I came up with were the concentration camps used in world war one and two. These places were horrible as people were starved and killed on a daily basis. My ideas were not as extreme as this for a concept, but I wanted to get a taste of what the extreme would be like compared to corruption a society e.g. civilians/ police.
