week1
I freestyled the work for this week‘s experiment. I wanted to familiarize myself with working with unity. I found myself very intimidated by this programming tool.
I have worked with unity before however I believe I made some thing a little similar to this, I wanted to push myself more but I believe I am too used to worrying about whether it is presentable or not. The story I want for here is a tiny bit similar to the game I played with my friends, animal crossing.
I started off by creating a plane rectangular ground and adding color to it . Then after I download it the poly assets, I allowed The assets that are available to determine a little bit of the story I wanted to tell.
I created a small forest and added a fireplace set up, then I decided to add some life to the narrative. However I couldn’t find any characters in my assets so I went to download another set of assets. After some thought instead I decided to build my own character.
That is what i finally have come up with.
Week2
For this weeks workshop I wanted to use the skills we learned in class and try to create an environment with them. My skills were limited in terms of creation and again intimidation unity. However I decided to start my first scene with an interesting glowing cube. Where we designed the cube in class I was fascinated to see what I could make with that new skill.
I started by making the cube and then I was inspired by its shape. As a Muslim that cubed oddly kept reminding me of mecca. So I decided to create some thing similar, to the extent of my skill.
I created a town, added a mountain, and well for water to show life form. I wanted the Area where the cube was to showcase A religious or even as spectacle kind of spot.
I interpreted this piece as a dystopian mixture of Mecca and a Colosseum. At time period where it’s both futuristic and stuck in the past hence the glowing cube.
For my second scene, I was inspired by the texture function. I wanted to create fun bumps in the mountains and actually get to see how I can experiment with its design. I called the project the beginning of time, since it reminded me of what I thought the land Adam and eve would’ve landed on. The area plant was huge and I added grass texture I made a small forest I added a small house a table and a dead tree, very fitting to the start of time( in my opinion.)
That was all. Hope it was enjoyable
week 3
For this week, i wanted to create a cool gallery with everything i have learnt in the last two weeks. My faviorite techinque that i have learnt is probably the glowing box. I love making it since it makes my project look very fancy. When i perosnally think of a fancy mondern gallery, i see something similar to what i created here. I wanted the gallery to look hip and cool so i added street art to make it see casual chique. The gallery displays 3D models of radom antiques, the curation of the pieces/ the reason i went with such pieces is because i wanted to 3D the scultpture of a women in a burqa. The gallery is set in the Art Center, it looks like it's floating there which is a aspect i dont hate. That was a totally imporvised ending, happy accident, to tie everything together.
I was inspired this week to create an aquatic theme with what I’ve learned. My first thought was to create some thing similar to the Dubai Mall aquarium. The first thing I searched for were 3-D models of rope barriers, the only ones I found were not for free. I don’t let that stop me from re-creating the scene. I started off with creating a plane, then I continued to creating three different screens to show aquatic videos. after I created the scenes I added the videos and then I decided to add audio, since I was going for an aquarium in the mall kind of theme I went with busy noises of people. After that it was time for me to create my characters. I downloaded a package from the assets stores, package had cube shaped people. After that I also downloaded the animation and applied the animation to the queue people. I download it multiple different kinds of animations. The first one was pacing next was talking on the phone next was talking next was standing idly next was defeated next was a male kissing in the female kissing.
Finally after I’ve applied the animations ,the sound ,and also the screens it was time to place my cameras where I wanted them to be placed. I created a timeline I also made a 3-D camera. The final thing I had to do was create an atmosphere of an aquarium, I looked online for 3-D mall models but didn’t find anything that suited the environment an atmosphere I wanted to create. Instead I thought I should improvise, I thought that the best way I can re-create what I want is through a 360 image.
I couldn’t find any 360 mall images so out of desperation I decided to go with an outside Seaview exhibition gallery atmosphere. And finally this is what I come up with for this week.
