Background Props

While there are props that are used by the character such as laser pistols, there are some which are designed to be placed in the background. One of these is the hover cars which will move around in teh background. This car is designed to add life to the scene and to give the illusion that there are more people living in the world.


This car is a hover car and is designed to hover along in thebackground. When designing this car, i tried to make it look like an old fashioned car such as a morris minor. I designed it like this to keep within the theme and also i think that this design gives the car some character nad isnt just boring to look at.

Another prop that i have created for use in the background of the scenes is the table which i will add into the bar scene. Robots will be sitting at these tables and socialising with each other. These tables arent designed to be too detailed for several reasons. One of them is that they will help with the amount of time spent rendering the scene that they are in. The other is that they wont be see too much and so the lack of detail doesnt particularly matter.








The final background prop that i have created is are the trophies that are panned to be on Big Chief's shelves in his office. These were designed to be scene decoration however these were 1000+ polygons each and there were roughly 20 of them this meant that set decoration would drastically incerase the render tim ebecasue they are adding so many more faces to the animation that need to be rendered.

Script

For each of my scene i intend there to be dialogue between the character so that it is not just a silent video. I plan to do the voices my self using a piece of software called Audacity. This program will allow me to record and edit audio clips to make them sound different from each other. This can be done by addiding an effect such as reverb which gives the audio a slight echo effect. Another effect could be to change the pitch of a characters voice to make it higher or lower pitched. Below is the scirpt that i have created for each scene withiin my animation.

Main character design sketch

 

I have designed the main character to be a slightly different looking robot and draws inspiration from a few sources.

To design this character in maya i plan to import the below sketch and shape the character to the sketch, ensuring that any detais that dont look right are changed. below is my sketch of the Main character

 One of these is pathfinder from Apex legened which is a robot with single Eye on its head, is pictures below.

I also drew inspiration from Clamps from futurama for the design of the arms and hands and is also pictured below.
