Animation test

This is the animation test for one of my characters. It is not rendered properly but is just a quick look at of what it can do.

Character Design 2 - " In Motion "

 This character was just a test to see what i could do, I managed to make the character pick up a rectangular shape rather than it just standing there in one position.



 Here is a close up of the character in the same position but from a higher angle giving it more depth of feel. More of a mood look than anything.



 The character has put the rectagular shape down and is looking around now, it is not in the same position, its head has moved.





 A front view of the character from a different angle, still in the same position as before, as you can see the head has moved slightly. I know this character is not part of my designs but i thought it was ok because i tried different tests with different characters.

Character Design 1 - " In Motion "

 Here I have created the alien looking creature and you can see that it is moving around and is not still, as my tutor explauined to me, "everything has character".


                        Here it is from another angle, its more od a depressed look to the character.


 Here is the cube I made for it, the cube is the aliens energy source where it regenrates and uses its abilities to move and kill.





Here are 3 more examples of the cube in different positions, It rotates in its body meaning its generating power and regenerating itself. I do like this character i feel i could have done better, but for someone whos never really used Cinema 4D before i think i did pretty well.

Model 3: Even Further

this is yet another test i conducted, i was still getting the hang of modelling, these are just basic shapes that im using, im trying to see how i could use them in my final project. here is the head and the body of the third chaacter. nothing is final yet. this is only a test.



this was the body, i was using different colors, red and black are a sybol of hell and death, i was trying to utilies these shades, unfortuneatly i didnt use them in the final character design.



here is the character completed, i had it jumping over an object to see what it would look like in actual gameplay. the character is a basic shape, the colors are simple but effective. i do like this model, it would be perfect for a childs game or an arcade game.





 here are some facial expressions, again im not using any of this character for my final design. model one is the final design. i was using different facial expressions so i could maybe implement them into my final character, but it was slightly hard beause my character was a reptile looking creature so there wasnt much facial expressions. again this character would have been great for a childs game or even an arcade game.

Model 2: Getting Somewhere


here is the model completed, it was just a basic model, not a part of the final designs, just a test, the color scheme was inspired by alice in wonderland, this model would have been good for a childs game, but where not making that, this is just a test as ive stated before.




here is the model in full, it is not completed, just an over view of what ive done so far.
 thi is just the model still in the making, this is not a model it is just a test.



here is the head design, it is not meant to be apart of the final design, like i said its just to see what i could come up with, i havent done any designs for this character.



this is just a test that i came up with, its not meant to be part of the final design, it was just to see if i could come up with different designs and shapes.

Model 1: The Beginning

as mentioned before, i will be using cinema 4d, i find it slightly easier to use, here are a few models i made, i did find them hard to model at first but i got the hang of it. Here you see the final design for my first concept character, i think i will be using this for my final, but i will have made others to compare them.

here is the head i modeled, i wanted to deform the head slightly, so here is me attempting to sculpt the head, i didnt have to do much, i found this model quite fun to design actually, it was pretty good. I think i will deffinately use this model for the final.



here is the design without any details, the head is sculpted and i added a cube in its stomach to suggest its power source, so it comes up with evil spirits, like th character was suggested in the first place. this is without any details. so far i am pleased with what i have accomplished.
