Investigation 2

(https://www.oxpal.com/medieval-town-map.html)

Over the week I went and looked up more ideas that would correlate with the story idea I wanted to put together. For the town I wanted to go for a medieval town. A sort of small town with a medieval style to it seemed like it fit the idea well to me. Something like the picture above is what I want to go for, a little town at the bottom of a hill. Besides the town I wanted to look up modeling tactics. Such as this scythe making video

When I was looking up weapon model making I came across this youtuber, I was really intrigued on how process of making models. I've watched a few of his videos and I really like the end results of what he makes, I plan to use these videos as a sort of stepping stone for me with making these modeled weapons. Besides the concept of chosen by destiny I was curious about implementing with vr and making things can be used in a vr environment. Since I own a headset I have the capabilities to try this out, I would have to look into it. I think going into making things for vr would really affect how I choose to take my future and what I really want to do modeling and animating.

Inverstigation 1

What I have decided I would do for my investigation is to start with the concept chosen by destiny. I was having trouble trying to figure out a concept to do and the idea of what separates a concept from an idea or theme. I like the idea of this concept and wanted to see what I could come up with for this concept. From this concept I came up with a little story and I wanted to see how well I could do with something like this.The story idea is that of where the main character comes to some kind of drama that they do not want to deal with so they run off to a cliff-side where they decide to sit and watch there village. When all of a sudden a sword falls down from the sky and lands behind them. They investigate the fallen weapon, and after a bit pull said weapon out of the ground. After doing so they come to realize that their home town is being attacked by some monster and they are the one who must get rid of the trouble thrashing their town.

I looked up some sword designs and saw some really cool collections of mythical swords that I thought would fun to implement as shown in the picture above. I am currently working on a storyboard for this concept and want to see how well I can implement this idea into animation. The story is focused on the main character so I also plan to make him stick out compared to the rest of the citizens to make the main character feel different from the rest. I hope to make some progress by at least finishing the weapon for the story and brainstorming some ideas on how I want the town and landscape to look by next post.
