For week 2 from creative industries we were introduced to Zbrush a digital sculpting tool that combines 3D and 2D modelling with texturing and painting. Henry had navigated his way through Zbrush show us the robes on the tools, shortcuts, demonstrations on models and setting controls. 

In some ways it is simply like Blender, but has more functions and tools for our projects which would benefit us for our final assignments at the end of semester 2. We had fun with it even though it’s new to my experience I would have to watch a lot of videos to get the gest of it for the upcoming weeks even during other assignments coming up soon, including working on animations for April.

Afterwards we had introduced our pitch presentations to the other two groups which involves an investigator under cover to solve a mystery within a telephone office and collect clues and listen over phone calls to connect the dots to find the murderer. We had shown off our work with game designers showing the levels and mechanics and the animation students displaying concept art of the characters and concept models of props with the theme of 1970’s with a chosen colour scheme and art style. However, we had to fix some stuff within the PowerPoint and do it again for the pre-production week. It’s simple enough to make amendments to the PowerPoint with everyone on board and with me making more models but didn’t have to texture them immediately but only show concept art for it. 

Also Ciara in our Group G set up the art style guidelines on her documents to show what’s there on what the environment will look like, the lighting, colours and characters. 

Our group name is Knives out (yes from the movie knives out since it’s a murder mystery trope were following for this project).
