Research Project: I was originally thinking of just making a series of helmets.
I looked at Star Wars and Halo helmets as well as Ski goggles to get an idea of the shape of the eyes and size of the helmet in comparison.
After seeing the different styles I did a sketch that I made a quick version of in Lightwave.
But while playing Halo I decided to change my mind and make a full suit of armour similar to a Spartan’s armour. I made a quick sketch to go by.
Challenges: I will need to teach myself how to rig the model (add bones) which could be a bit of a challenge
Who is your target audience: My target audience would have to be potential employers in the game/video/animation industries
Project Specifics:I am going to have a few static photos of the suit at different angles/close-ups as well as a video (mov or/and flv) showing the suit rotating to show a 360˚ view of the model.
My “camera” dimensions will be 1920-1080px so that it can be viewed on higher screen resolutions with no problems.
Software: I plan on using Lightwave (modeller/layout), Photoshop, Illustrator, MS Word to complete this project.
Creative Ideas: I am thinking of doing a run or walk animation if I have enough time after modelling.
Tone: Sci-Fi, Futuristic
