EXP 1 SUBMISSION

As part of this experiment we had to develop an island that is significant to us, this was a challenge to see how creative i can be, we also had to conceal a letter and number in the island my number and letter are 'Y4" this is what we had to look for in the island and keep it creative and unique to the user and myself. below is the final submission of this experiment

strategy statement was to help me understand how i was to conceal my letter and number starting from macro to mirco scale within my island, click here to see.

5 draft images of my island can be found here and here  

video trailer 

we had to also create a trailer to promote our island and let the user see what to expect in the island, this was a challenge as it haven't had many experience with making a trailer. i added sound to the trailer for more suspense and a dark feel to my island as its a lost island in the unknown. below is my movie trailer.

WEEK6

This week was to review our other students work and post a review of that on our blog below are the screenshots.

this was just a way to motivate me and the student to do better in the environment and help them in improving later on.

DRAFT SUBMISSION

As part of this week task we are required to submit a draft submission of our experiment.

The experiment brief was to create an island that is to conceal a letter and a number in this case my letter and number are 'Y4', we have to stay creative and keep our letter and number seen in ways that is pleasing to the user, the letter and number have to be 5 various scale from macro to micro, i have tried different ways and effects to show my number and letter and i did my best to conceal this as i will improve it more. below are the images from my cryengine. 

This image here is a birds eye view of my island my letter and number is the shape of my island with the 'Y' in the middle and '4' arms around it. This is my macro scale.

My second image is of fallen trees to combine the letter 'Y' and the '4' houses around it to form my number, as for the fallen trees you will see the 'Y' in different places as you walk around the island i am  trying to do this as i want to conceal it in a creative way.

The third image is of a broken down beach hut and a old water tank my letter 'Y' is concealed with the beach rocks and the '4' lamps to show my number.  

My forth images are of '4' turtles and birds for my letter 'Y'. the birds as you can see in my first image is that they are all moved around and only when you look at it from a top view and ground view looking up you will see the letter 'Y'.

My final image is my micro image of my letter and number this is shown in the terrain of my island hidden away, the 'Y' is in the middle and the '4' are the dots in the land around the letter.

The final step in the experiment is to keep adding detail to my island as i will be doing over the week and i will also be developing a trailer for my island as for my last submission. This week lecture overall was useful in planing my submission and helping me understand the stages needed to finalize my final submission. 

WEEK 4

the first step for this week task was to find an painting or image from one of the people we had seen in the class i have chosen joseph mallord william turner. below is the image

screen shot of my time of day below.

This week lecture was quiet interesting as we had to find out ways to change the sky and how it could affect our island its a good way as it helped me understand the program more and give my island a different appearance. 

WEEK 3

today task was to find 4 reference images of works by one of the landscape architects giving to us in the lecture. once we had selected our images we then had to create a area throughout our island in cryengine related to those images that we found. below are the images and my images in cryengine.

next part was to create a short clip of our cryengine blow is the clip

this week task has helped my understand why its important to have a good landscape, this has helped me with my progress with my cryengine and helped me using the program and a much better understanding in this assessment.
