Core Project #5 - VR 5 x 5, Week 2

Core Project #5 - VR 3 x 3, Week 1

This was a group project and the members of my group were Vitor, Theo, Chandan, Jessi and myself. We spent the first week coming up with our characters. I created Francis the Carrot, but we ended up choosing Theo’s Prince Egon. We shared our ideas on Miro and then I made a few rough sketches of possible layouts for the character’s room and some silhouetting.

I spent the last week polishing my animation and fixing some weird movements of the right leg and left hand. The final result is not perfect, but it looks much better than Week 2′s outcome. I believe that the character looks quite angry and threatening, and the lipsync turned out quite well. 

This week I focused on adding breakdown poses to my animation and some extra details such as head movements, more stomping and waving of the fist. Not all of it works, but I’ll polish my work before the final submission next week. 

For this project, the artist we had to base our work on was Louise Bourgeois. Me and my project partner brainstormed on Miro, had a few meetings with the BA Game Design students and decided to work together. We wanted to add a lot of spiders, houses and scary lights to our garden. The following images show our discussions on Miro, my personal contribution to the Unity prototype (the house on the bloody hill surrounded by spiders and manikins), and a few screenshots from the finished work.
