pcad 200 refection

my reflection of the project has been this. my reflection of the project has been this. is a positive to be working as a team on a project is fun to be given a task and being able to deliver a good product is really fun.
i liked that tasks i was given at first i didn't because the assist list i was given was massive and i thought i wouldn't be able to create all of them, but when i was asked to make the attic it was all good again.

pixels

it is fine working in pixels luckily being able to change the brush tool in Photoshop was a great help.

this is a new skill i think i have gained iv never made pixel art but for my first go it went alright i kept it really simple also so next time i have a task in this style i could maybe put more detail or draw something more complexes. i mainly draw characters but in this case iv just kept to rooms, which was different.

the room

so i made the attic and which i think has worked well it to me has a look of an attic and when put together with the rest of the rooms in the house"game" looks really good. i went with a very clean looking attic, i could of done a messier attic but i thought if it was a messy attic il just be boxes and look really boring this is why i have done it in this way
the colors work together and the assist i have decided to place in to it work also. i cant think there are bad things with it i wouldn't mind adding more assist. such as, old furniture,more boxes make a view in the window, they said they didn't like a background in the window when i made my prototype of a room but now looking at the attic i kind of wanted to make a view in the window using pixels but because they didn't like it at the start i didn't. maybe a bed. the thing is its a small room and i don't know the size of the characters in relation of the assist this brings to me to my next point which i thought i wasn't apart of what so ever which is the rest of the team.

i know what every one was doing but like i said before when not know the size of the characters luckily it didn't matter that much for me to carry on with my job roll but it would be nice anyway to know just in case. i think if i'm going to do any team work briefs again i'm going to have to know what the other people are doing. i do remember i couldn't start the attic because i didn't get the measurements of the room for a while so i couldn't work just in case it was all wrong.

best parts of my work

my favorite parts of my work i find is all of it. if i don't like something i change it. the attic looks OK to me i like the pillars/ support beams  i got the idea of those from a reference image.
out of all my assist the sofa is my best one.
something i could of changed is the light, looking at it now i could of given it more depth and atmosphere.

the loading screen was very diffirent what im use to      


 

diary pcad 200

on my first week i was given the talk to create the look of the house for the game by making a room, this was quite simple the fact i had to make a pixel design was different to me, but they were happy with the look i made but i u used a normal picture to make the view through the window which everyone thought it such be pixel which i wasn't bothered with and thought it does make more scenes i only did it to quick down the time.
to make the room. i looked up pixel art and got references for a normal room and its furniture iv used. i didn't know how to create pixel so i Googled what i need to do to create pixel art, so i did its really simple you just draw in squares as i knew already but i wanted to know the best and quickies way to go about it. there were tutorials and how to change a picture to pixels but i thought it was to much hassle so i just changed the brush tool to a square patten and drew.

the next task they wanted me to do was make assists the the house, so we Ben made a list for each assist they wanted to be inside the house. i was creating there's assets. where were getting confused on what everyone was doing so i cant work any anything for awhile because i didn't know who was doing what then matayo told to to make the attic.

the attic the same method of any designs i make is to find references so in the case attic references, from google,

  i have a handful of images and i wanted to make the room to be blue and orange so i was looking for this certain colour pallet, because it easier to use a really base design for your own design. they want the assets separate from the whole design so i thought it would be better if i made the assist first then the room and i could simply put all the different designs such ass chairs, boxes, the floors well anything you would get in an attic.

sofa- got my images of a real sofa and picked my favourite and drew it in pixel with the colour pallet in my mind and made it blue. they wanted it saved as a tiff with no back ground also.

boxs- after the sofa i wanted to put something which usually is in every attic which is boxes you usually get set of three to save time copied and pasted one to three. made it a tiff with no back ground.


closet- again got a little references and made it to pixel.

lights- same as before. i used orange for the colour

windows- same used an orangey brown.

every thing is orange and blue i thought maybe i should put some other colours didn't look right and just stayed with same colour.

this is how i make the assists now i have to make the room to put them in.

the assist sizes is 200x200 and the the room is 640w x 480 h

i just made the wall of the room as a back ground. blue  and whit wallpaper blue floor and because i have made all the furniture simple dragged and placed them in to the room. i moved around the composition to see which was best.


next task i finished the room and now they want me to make a roof on top.

i started with the sides i knew i could copy past to fit the other side and just tinker with it so it doesn't look symmetrical i made every thing on a separate layer just in case they didn't want it.

then made the top of the roof which was the size of the room 640w x 480 h we needed a sky which was no effort. i just used blue to fill the back ground then placed my assists of a cloud  to make it more ovbiuse that its sky. whilst making the sky i noticed that my roof didn't have a chimney.

i got an email of motayo saying that i need to make and assembly point sign
