World Building - Kyle Smith

World Building

World building is a fundamental for telling a story.

Best excises to help us with world building are: 
Who?
What?
When?
Where?
Why?
How?

This gives depth to ideas and fleshers out the idea and making it feel real or engaging.

Who? : Who gives the design more linked to a person and how they look and reflect from each other. For example "who is driving that car?" Or "Who are there parent?" This can make a family just trying to design one girl or gives vehicles or object a owner and that can affect how the owner or object is designed which correlates to each other.

What? : What does this thing do or what do they do? This just gives the thing a purpose, making it feel useful.

When? : This can give your design history. The can be make it seem interesting and engaging. This can give the deign a certain feeling like old and rugged or stable and unimageable. 

Where? : This does the same as when but the environment affects the design and not the history. This can blend ideas like you couldn't want a camel in a forest.

Why? : Why increase it's history and why it is what it is. Why do we need a chainsaw in a underground cave, or why do we need sword in a gun game? This gives the design more use.

How? : How does this design work? This is asking how does something do something. How does a Viking fight this boss or how does that handmade gun shoot?  This makes it more grounded and realistic.

Pre arrivals tasks

  Kyle Smith As the title suggest my name is Kyle Smith. And I'm hoping to make a comic Artist/Writer. And For our first prearrival task I did: Tokyo Ghoul's Art style  This piece of media is what set my life on the path it is today. Inspiring my masked passion for art and writing stories. The author and piece of media I am talking about is Sui Ishida and his most famous work on Tokyo Ghoul. Sui Ishida's work on Tokyo Ghoul did not just reach and inspired me as Tokyo Ghoul has reached 47 million global sales, so something must have been worth reading to reach a number that high? And one of the main factors of this success is his art style.  Through reading multitude of Manga's, I find one of my favourite aspects of its art style is the evolution of it. As an audience seeing an artist's art become redefined and improve slowly through its run, it feels personal like not just seeing the story being played out but the more personal story of the artist adapting to fit th...

 Toolkit 1 (3D) By Kyle Smith 24th September 2024 Within this lesson, we explored Maya, I already had experience with maya beforehand so not a lot was new for me, but I still felt like taking notes to look back and reminds myself of things I might forget. First of all Simon told us about the tools. Things to highlight is that Computers love to render 4 sided shapes like square and rectangles, this also includes cubes and cuboids with are made up into from squares and rectangles.  Here is some shortcuts for Maya that Simon has showed us: Q - Get Rid of handle. W - Move E - Rotation R - Scale CTRL/ E - Extrude CTRL/ Z - Back Alt/Left Mouse - Rotate Camera Alt/Right Mouse - Zoom in/out Alt/Mouse wheel - Move If I go in Mesh Tools, I can automatically insert edge loops.

If I got into Windows - Settings and Preferences and then selection then click select faces wi...

Designing a Game World: Formative Submission Year 1 Game Art. (Kyle Smith)

Designing a game world. By Kyle Smith Introduction Within this assignment we were given  an opportunity to develop and design a game world. We were given choice of two prompts and develop ideas within those two prompts. Within the prompts given to us I decided to chose The Abyssal Dungeons which abyssal means depths and ocean bed. Underwater Dungeon. That's kind off cool. For another prompts I chose Artifact 2 and that's a Knife from the Congo's. After Look around for this particular knife I found it belong to Ngombe people. Ngombe are known as water people and believe in mythical entities like Akongo and Mbokomu. Akongo is a creator god which is a deity that's responsible for creating planet earth. And Mbokomu is said to be the first women on earth. I like the idea using Mbokomu or the idea of a powerful women. Mbokomu is the daughter of Akongo. I find that coincidentally picking the two prompts that I picked was really suitable as Ngombe are the water people and I hav...
