Evaluation for 3D Creative problems.

Q.1: How did you use drawings when thinking about making your 3D model?

While i was drawing i thought about if i could mould the creature i wanted to draw so i chosen to do a head of a Raptor, after i did my drawings they helped me do the finer details on my mould.

Q.2: What research did you need to do to make your model?

I needed to research about dinosaur anatomy to fully understand how to mould the head of my creature.

Q.3: What materials did you use to make your 3D model?

I used terracotta clay/ air dry clay and various other tools to design/make my model.

Q,4:   Which materials did you find the best to work with?

I found the clay the best to work with but construct was really fun.

Q.5: Why were they the best?

The clay was the best because you can do anything with it and same with construct but the clay you can put alot of detail into.

Evaluation for time based animation.

Q.1: How did drawing help with your game design?

the drawings helped me with the eating cycle.

Q.2: What research did you have to do to help with your game design project?

I had to research animation and a dinosaur eating something and how to animate the head.

Q.3: What software did you use to make your game?

The software to animate was Photoshop and the software to make the game i used construct.

Q.4: Were there any problems with learning this software?

Construct had some problems, just catching up with it.

Q.6: What technical skills did you need to have to make your game?

To use construct, you have to tell it what to do like talking to someone who has no idea what they are doing.

Prehistoric research:                                                 NO particular order.

Precambrian:

The first time era was the PreCambrian, the precambrian was when the first sign of life start living on the planet , the precambrian had interesting creatures like Anomalacarus (the apex at the time) and Hycoitchys, Hycoitchys is a evolutionary giant, he is the first fish, he's not tough outside, he's tough inside it evolved a primitive backbone, he's the first vertebrate, forerunner to every back bone creature from the dinosaur to the elephant to us, he's flexible backbone allows him to move around to scavenge flesh off spineless Anomalacarus and other wounded creatures and can dart away unharmed, our tiny backboned ancestors have survived a sea of monsters but there are many other battes ahead, evolution takes over.

Cambrian:

The second time period and the first in the Paleozoic era, nothing really changed form the Precambrian to the Cambrian only a few new creatures


Ordovician:

The Ordovician had a range of interesting and amazing creatures,

Jurassic:

The Jurassic is a geologic period and system that extends from 201.3± 0.6 Mya (million years ago) to 145± 4 Ma from the end of the Triassic to the beginning of the Cretaceous. The Jurassic constitutes the middle period of the Mesozoic Era, also known as the Age of Reptiles. The start of the period is marked by the major Triassic–Jurassic extinction event. Two other extinction events occurred during the period: the Late Pliensbachian/Early Toarcian event in the Early Jurassic, and the Late Tithonian event at the end; however, neither event ranks among the "Big Five" mass extinctions. The Jurassic is named after the Jura Mountains within the European Alps, where limestone strata from the period were first identified. By the beginning of the Jurassic, the supercontinent Pangaea had begunrifting into two landmasses, Laurasia to the north and Gondwana to the south. This created more coastlines and shifted the continental climate from dry to humid, and many of the arid deserts of the Triassic were replaced by lush rainforests. On land, the fauna transitioned from the Triassic fauna, dominated by both dinosauromorph and crocodylomorph archosaurs, to one dominated by dinosaurs alone. The first birds also appeared during the Jurassic, having evolved from a branch of theropod dinosaurs. Other major events include the appearance of the earliest lizards, and the evolution of therian mammals, including primitive placentals. Crocodilians made the transition from a terrestrial to an aquatic mode of life. The oceans were inhabited by marine reptiles such as ichthyosaurs and plesiosaurs, while pterosaurs were the dominant flying vertebrates.

Redesign on my DNA strand
The different ways to cast materials:
  • Moulding 
  • Sand casting
  • Permanent Mould casting 
  • Investment casting 
  • Lost foam casting 
  • Die casting 
  • Centrifugal casting  
  • Glass casting 
  • Slip Casting 

This mould process is where we had our latex moulds filled with plaster and the plaster is infused with PVA to make it stronger, once the plaster was added we smacked the side of the mould with a pencil to get the bubbles out and then left it to set.


This is my clay model of a basic dinosaur head, the process was too wedge the clay and to wedge you have to smack the clay on the table to get all the air out and if you wanted to attach another bit of clay to another you had to cross-hatch the area you wish to attach and cover it in slip, after that I moulded my dinosaur head.

Evaluation questions: Platform Games.

Q.1: What drawings did you do for this project?

The drawings I have done are initial sketches of dinosaurs, different designs of levels and multiple enemy's also i did sketches for my clay models.


Q.2: What materials did you use?

The materials I used are Pen&Paper for my sketches, Photoshop for my developed drawings and level design, air drying clay and terracotta clay for my models of dinosaurs and construct for my playable level.

Q.3: How successful were you at using these materials?


I have been successful doing my drawings, level designs and level creation so far with using these materials.

Q.4: How did drawing help you formulate your ideas?

By drawing the dinosaurs and levels i have gained alot of new ideas for my game on the other hand the drawings i have done have given me new ways to look at it too like hybrids and daemons.

Q.7: What techniques have you used?

The techniques i used were cross hatching when we were moulding, wedging, blending and shading.

Q.8: What processes have you used?

The process for me was to sketch a dinosaur then to scan it into Photoshop and develop it and modify it.  

Q.9: How successful were these at helping you achieve your 2 D project?

All the techniques and materials helped me develop my drawings alot and helped me put in more detail and in my case i can put in skin textures for my dinosaurs in Photoshop and to warp colour around to morph it into smoke.
This one of my collectables, this one gives you DNA points, i did this in Photoshop i kept changing the colour on my cursor and dabbing it each time with a different colour to represent the cells.
