Hey everyone, last time we talked i was just finishing my film room project. Well I'm now onto the next project and have some things i'd liked to show and talk about.

Firstly my next project is to concept and modelling and sentry gun that i can put into engine and it will aim and shoot at you. We've been given three weeks to do this project.

Heres my concepts...

Before doing anything else i literally just opened a photoshop document and started scribbling down some ideas. This is something I've picked up from the feng zhu design cinema youtube videos, and i'm trying to implement it more in my very early design stages. In terms of the themes i was going for as you can see it's very focused on dogs. I want to say that the reason for this was that dogs are used to guard against, and watch for, unwanted or unexpected people. which is the same as sentry turrets really. (also i miss my dogs)

I then moved on to some more design work, I used a technique called kit bashing. where you create a bunch of elements that make up the silhouette of your design, and then rearrange them to make lots of ideas which then I can choose the strongest.



Once i had decided on my favourite i made a quick model of it in 3Dsmax. which i then painted over and came up with a few more iteration of that as well. 

Finally i did a colour paint over to figure out the colours i might want to use (still not very good at using colour), I'm thinking of going for that snoopy red dog house feel at the moment.


 Until next time.
