Not very surprisingly most people didnt do anywhere near the work the teachers wanted, me included, tho i had a feeling it would be like that from the start since all i did was a backstory and a few body rough outlines
My current realisation of the design process is like this
• Brief (Read, Understand and make a start on the brief)
• Roughs (Original ideas, first concepts and rough sketchs) <--- Where i did up to for the Summer Project
• Research (Reference materials, Pictures or images of things that influenced your designs no matter what it may be. Animations, Things in reality, objects, other peoples work (online) ect,ect)
• Choices (Choose what design you wish to make your final piece and if there are any extra to your charatcer or whatever it is you are designing then choosing the one you like the most and what fits the most)
• Finals (The final concepts, what you put every possible effort you can to make it the best piece of work you have created)
With what the lecturers have said today i am now doubting if that is any good atall, if my belief of what the design process is has been wrong all this time. well, i suppose its fine.
anyway
Today we did a "hit chance" mechanism using a randomiser that we brung with us which in my case would be coins, £1 coin and a 1p coin. 2 different weights in coins and i flipped the coins and different strengths for different heights and different amounts of spins in the air.
Results: £1 coin
Tails - 7 70%
Heads - 3 30%
Results: 1p coin
Tails - 7 70%
Heads - 3 30%
Both of the coins with different weight and with different strengths being flipped by me ended up with exactly the same results. Rather surprising.
After which we then proceeded, led by Drew, To figure out a way of how to use the randomisers we had to make a "Hit Chance" on a game. Since i had coins i thought of a way that could work. Also works on Size.
Small Monsters - Flip 2 Coins, 50% per coin, Heads = Hit and Tails = Miss
2 Heads = 100% Hit 2 Tails = 100% Miss 1 Head and 1 Tail = 50% Hit or Miss
Medium Monsters - Flip 3 coins, 33% per coin, Heads = Hit and Tails = Miss
3 Heads = 99% Hit 3 Tails = 99% Miss 1 Heads and 2 Tails = 66% Miss 1 Tails and 2 Heads = 66% Hit
Large Monsters - Flip 4 coins, 25% per coin, Heads = Hit and Tails = Miss
4 Heads = 100% 4 Tails = 100% Miss 2 Heads and 2 Tails = 50% Hit or Miss
1 Head and 3 Tails = 75% Miss 3 Heads and 1 Tails = 75% Hit
The Brief (Simplified):
Create a Character within the limits set by Dean and Drew, NO Aliens and NO Zombies and NO Robots.
So i took a shot in the dark and went with Cyborg.
Here is what I have done so far:
Thoughts(Written in my "Summer Work" sheets):
No Zombies
No Aliens
Human Disaster

Robots (No, Said Drew)

Cyborg? (Just about allowed)
I will go with Cyborgs.
How Do They Become Cyborgs?
What Parts Become Cyborg?
Why Do They Become Cyborgs?
How - Surgery?(I'll go with this), Body mutation that turns flesh into metal? (Don't think I'll go with this)
|
|
\/
I will go for Surgery.
What - Arms? Legs? Chest? Head? Heart?
| |

The limbs, I will go with the limbs becoming Cyborg
Why - Disease? Reaction? After Effect?
|

\/
I'll go for a disease.
What I have so far:
Surgery --|
Limbs ----|--- My Cyborg
Disease --|
Now ---
The Disease - Needs to effect the limbs but it cannot be a small effect, It has to have more to it than that.
Ideas-
Limbs Becomes Unusable? After a period of time it kills you?
------------------------------ -------------------------------------
No, Too Simple. No Logic Behind It.. No..
Mix the two maybe?
Get Infected, slowly and painfully makes your arms and/or legs useless (Depends where you get infected) after the legs or arms the infection slowly makes its way through your nervous system till it reaches your brain and torments it over a period of time, slowly and horrible agony in your head till eventually your brain shuts down and eventually kills you.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I think I will use this as my disease, not simple but still interesting.
Now, Where did this deadly disease come from?
From Animals? A failure by Scientists?
---------------- -----------------------
No Maybe?

New form |
of bacteria? \/
------------ I will go with this, A Failure by Scientists
No
What was the scientists researching and creating to cause a breakout of a deadly disease like this?
Well, It effects limbs.. so it has to be related to limbs...
Speed up a limbs healing process? -- No
Reconstruction on a cellular level to restore lost limbs? --- Interesting.
Speed up humans reaction times? (nervous system) -- No
I will go with the reconstruction on a cellular level.
So in the end I have:
1. Cyborg Character
2. Robotic Limbs
3. A deadly disease

Original Scientists Objective: To create a medicine to restore lost limbs by making it so that the medicine knows how humans are suppose to look and once injected they get in the nervous system till they reach the limbs, search for cells (dead or alive) that they recognise as cells for the lost arm or leg, change themselves into a cell that is alive exactly like the cell they found and start to multiply and eventually bring back a lost limb, arm or leg.
This was their hope, They achieved their hope and made the medicine but missed something inside the cells and a virus mutated inside the medicine and eventually became airborne.
Now this medicine that is suppose to heal a lost limb is now turning limbs completely useless by getting in the body in any way it can be it by a cut or being breathed in and works its way through the nervous system till it reaches the limbs (Leg or Arm, depends which they reach first) and instead of rebuilding cells, they kill off the cells in the limbs, slowly and painfully and eventually shuts down the limbs and they become useless but it don't stop there, It goes into the nervous system again and travels till it reaches the brain and just like with the limbs it slowly and painfully torments the brain cells and kills them, till eventually your brain shuts down and eventually kills you.
The only way to survive this, is when you notice a limb starting to not move properly you have it removes and replaced with a metal leg or arm even though people don't believe that just removing one limb and having it metal will stop the airborne virus so instead they take no chances and say that they want both the arms and legs to be replaces, so that way the virus has no chance of coming back into them.
These are the arm and leg designs I did:
Also what they would be like on a body (only in quick rough sketches, No detail)
