task 2: research and expiromentation

unity experimentation with the terrain editor

to start off with creating a plane and use a terrain brush to be able to sculpt the terrain to the similar shape 

then we can smooth out some areas to get the flat lands and the mountains distinguished between each other 

no we added grass with the texture brush this allowed us to add colour and feel to the terrain 

I added a water texture similarly to the grass inside the crater

now I used the tree brush and I found out it doesn't have limitations on where it is put I found this out by putting a tree in water 

I added more trees and bushes to be able to look more like an island and I added a rigid body so I can move around in this island 

Result from this :
From this I have learnt that the terrain system in unity is simple and easy to use it is also a way to get a quick level to be able to be travel around into.

Rough sketches

This is my turtles rough sketch for its final stage 

this sketch is needing to be as scary as possible to show the evolution from dreams to  nightmares  

so for this image I used a snapping turtles head as it is the most dangerous looking turtle with a strong jaw force and a spiked shield this implies it will be hard to kill and if it gets to close you will be the one not living.  

This is the first stage of my turtle 

this is a simple turtle however I know that the body is out of proportion so I know I will need to redo this at a later stage however the turtle need to look as cute as I can make it look. to do this I will make the eyes bigger and the head a little smaller in addition to a pink mist to be able to show its a dream this will come from the shell   this image needs to make the shell shorter and the feet be the same size 

This is the middle stage rough sketch 

this is the second stage the purpose in this stage is to show that its getting dangerous and it will need to be resolved before its gets to the final stage in the sprite version it will have pink clouds around it into black clouds and on the last second it will cover itself in this 

Result from this :
 I found that rough sketches are a good way to be able to refine the looks of a thumbnail sketch
it is also a way how to improve on the ideas I already have.

why I chose this sketchbook:

How it can help my project
This can help my project by showing me that a sketchbook is only a way for me to show off my work for example In this sketchbook it is only life drawings and typography however it is interesting how they use the ink to flesh out the images

why I chose this sketchbook:
How it can help my project
I thought this sketchbook can help my project because it is themed on dreams and nightmares and It also includes peoples fears and ambitions I can possibly use this contextually for my game such as I can have clowns in my game as well however I don't think I will include It as it will be more difficult to implement this into my game.
