Sci-fi Cannon


Above Is the mood board with a mix of cannons and heavy artillery and rail guns these are new guns that use electricity to fire a project-tail.  



Above is some silhouettes of cannon that I made to give me an idea of that shape I what it to look like.


These are the three I decided to look at making into 3D models i was thinking off having number 6 as the main gun and using number 8 for the base of the gun.



I have put together the guns number 6 and 8 to make the gun above this i will make in Maya and then texture in Photoshop.



Here I added more detail this was quick as the detail would be a model.



Part 1


Part 2


Part 3



I decided to redesign the bace as it did not look the same as the main gun itself and I also added more detail to the model from the updated image I did, this makes the model more detailed and heavy and I belive it makes it feel more like a gun.



Gun finished how to texture it.



I have given it a simple texture with some colour there is a ambient light in the render but it is not making the shadows I am looking for.



Got the light working better but on top of the bace its not showing a shadow also I am trying to add a skylight like in the PlanetSide 2 video.


Done it I am going to look at making the texture reflect less.



Here I played around with the lighting and added a bump map to the bace to give it detail and I got the metal texture off the PlanetSide 2 video and using screen I added it over the gun as you can see.



This is the gun with more detail and texture and a man for scale.



More Detail



Lots more detail and added a nice background and sign from the M.O.D, with the blue texture I am going to try and see if I can make it darker to mach with the gray texture.

The Story Of The Cannon

In the near future, United Kingdom has separated due to a referendum by Scotland for independence and Northern Ireland has receded to the Republic of Ireland, and then the referendum, for England and Wales to stay in the European Union, voted to secede from the union from this rest of the European Union imposed sanctions against England and Wales as punishment. England's response to fortify the southern coast and making the English channel , unable for other ships to pass, apart from those of England and Wales. This has caused a Cold War between England, Wales and the European union, the Dover shore batteries are some of most high-tech cannons in the world, these Rail guns use magnetic accelerators to accelerate projectile towards its target recently aircraft have begun a campaign of mining the English Channel as well. The country that founded the largest empire in history has now fallen to just being England and Wales for the first time in centuries.


Here's a more detailed and upgraded gun that I did. If I have time I will paint over as fitted with the gun above this gun. I played around with shading more, and added a lot more detail, which is an improvement on the gun died previously made above.

Alien Land


Above is the mood board using star wars, avatar and outlander to make an interesting mood board.


above is three tree / plants that I drawn with a man to show how tall they are and what there colors are and a little bit of information on them.


Above is a sketch I did of the tree that I call the Mistress as it normally has mist around it that the tree itself makes to protect itself. as you can see in the top right-hand corner the tip of environment the Mistress would live in.


above is a picture of an alien animal the one in the top right hand corner i thought would live around the Mistress due to it being green.

This what bi have done so far in mudbox below.


 I have textured the trunk with a texture I made in Photoshop as shown below.

















Below are two images of the textured Mistress one a close up.


This is the textured Mistress with a bump map.


The Mistress produces methane gas which destroys the surrounding ground and make methane gas pockets that makes bubbles on the ground.


This is what the Mistress looks like when it is surround by methane gas.

Below is a turntable of the Mistress in mud box.


As you can see from above the first alien tree did not go so well so as I did not have mush work with Mudbox so I remade it as a basic low poly model in Maya as you can see below.


To get the detail I wanted I made a simple model in Maya that as you can see was very boxy I then used the smooth


This is the model in mud box I made my own texture that was made with resaech from looking at a methane environment and used the colors to make the texture and then I put a bump map on with the texture as you can see this looks cool.


Here are two of the Mistrees I did. one done with basic shapes (low Poly) and a smooth tree which is (High Poly)


Here is the Mistress finished  with a texture and a bump-map. this I believe has come out looking a lot better than I previously started with as it originally did look like a cucumber. As you can see now with the bump map and the natural curves of the tentacles of the missed tree. I believe this is probably one of my best models I've done and I'm quite proud of it

EggCar


Here is a little concept car I did that is based on a egg its called the EggCar. the main image is a three point perspective also the other one in the top right hand coiner is another one idea that has the seat open to the elements as a kind of wheel chair I used the colour of an egg for the colour scheme iam thinking of making this into a 3D model in Maya.

Wrinkles


Above is the mood board for want I what to do with wrinkles I am looking at aliens with wrinkles I have put in some examples that were done in Zbrush and mudbox and also there are some pictures of human faces as well. 


This is what I have done so far in sculptris. 


This is abit more that I have done to the alien face.

This is a close-up of the alien face I was not able to continue due the program crept on freezing.I will move this into mud box and use the basic human model toTo do the detail of the wrinkles. This first attempt of doing wrinkles to.go to well that's coming out looking like a very bad bump map.

I desided to remake the face using the bace model from mudbox as you can see below i will use my mood borad for refrencse.


Above I started to push out the checks to start with the Wrinkles and push out the noice.


Above I Started to add the detail to the face and look the why gravity worked on the face.
 
 
Above is the face so far there is more detail and added the moth and eyes.


Above is the face with more detail and i then exported it to maya to play around with shading.
