New Project: Self Study 1

Negotiated Study: Working Assets.
Subject: Digital Art for Computer Games.

Rational/Working Statement:
I intend to produce assets that would hopefully be useable within a flash game.
This would involve creating character concepts and animating them doing vairious movements within a game.

Aims:
I aim to develop character and animations for their movement and attacking abilities.

Details/Content:
The content should be able to be imported into flash and used for a flash game.
The animations need to be functional while keeping a smooth quality.
The game will be using the theme of:
-Cute Farm Animals.
-Gory Cartoon Style Violence.
-Farmyard Backgrounds.
These are the themes that would be important to keep in mind while designing the characters.
Early on in the project I need to do a quick test of using models that are built and textured within Maya, animate and render each frame then import them into flash. This will decide for me whever I would be animating in 2D or 3D.
