1. introduction About this Project

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Frutaâ&#x20AC;? is a 3D exploration video games, the project idea is As a beginning of this project is only aimed as a simple open-world game for to express the feeling that desired the freedom.But right a ft e r m a n a g e o f 2 s t u d y s e m e s t e r , m y i d e a i s about the new planet with fruit design that can teach simple body gesture language for helping those no good in communicate.

About artist . designer of this project

Hi, i am feeling pleassured that you are reading this process book, my name is C h o n g K a i We n , a m u l t i m e d i a n d e s i g n e r s t u d e n t f r o m Ta r u n i v e r s i t y c o l l e g e . I h a s s t u d i e d 4 years from diploma in multimedian design toB ac h el or of Creat i ve Mu l t i m edi a (H on ou r ) i n Mu l t i m edi a De si g n .

2 . S to ry T h e b a c k g r o u n d s e tt i n g f o r t h i s v i d e o games is about a new planet living with various of new plant and creature that just evovled and the intelligent creature in the planet which mainkind of the planet is living seperately around the distrinct areas on the planet. The main character have to start a adventure exploring the planet looking for the others but they are not the only livings creature on the planet, the rulers of the planet is drops on the strogest creature on t h e l a n d - D i n o s a u r.

3 . I n s p i r at i o n Concept of 3D world game

I aims to create a open world in 3D video games, i hope the player can feel the freedom to go ever ywhere in the maps controling the main character as they wanted.

Idea of video games

I started this game design because of my personal reason and issue that i facing ever yday since i was a kid which is communication, i hope this video g a m e a b l e t o h e l p t h o s e y o u n g p e o p l e s t o l e a r n h o w t o c o m m u n i c a t e b e tt e r with simple body language. The per spetive for player would be Third-per son view, i my own opinion Third-person view is the suitable for player while they exploring the planet maps because the third per son view is looked more wide for player and also it donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; t have shaking problem which can cause player feeling faint and vision weary issue.

Another selling point for this game, the background s e tt i n g o f t h e g a m e d e s i g n f o r t h e c r e a t u r e a n d e n vironment is unique, the game artist has combine the characteristic between aline, animals and Prehistoric Animals like dinosaur s, so the feeling given to player is paleolithic era and alien planet.

VISUAL cONCEPT FOR Planet design

F o r n a t u r al e n v i ro n m e n t landsacpe using lot of the tree and plant mixed to create feeling of natural and green, by simply adding a trunk under the fruit can easily complete transform into a tree. For some complex shape object , it hard to replace with fruit or food, but by smaller the size of fruit and increase amount to fix this p ro b l e l i ke e x am p l e ( c o c o n u t tree)

FOODSCAPE MADE BY FOOD The artist combine the fruit into other object by filling up the shape with a fruit with different amount because some fruit shape canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fit with the object

FOODSCAPESLANDSCAPES MADE BY THE FOOD T h e f o o d s c a p e s p h o t o g r a p h i s s h o o t b y C a r l Wa r n e r , h e m a c t h t h e f o o d a n d t h e e n v i ro n m e n t l a n d s c a p e b y u s i n g k n ow l e d g e o f n a t u r al light to bring out the colours and textures as well as the beauty of a scene

VISUAL cONCEPT FOR Monster design M o s t l y t h e al i e n d e s i g n i s t a ke n f ro m other animal and enlarge the specifybody part or make it look more fantasy. Like example, adding fin to the body of alien make it look more unique and have some feeling of sea creature as a same time.

This reference design show that the 1.main color of alien body should be neo color 2.The pattern made by liner on the they body(just like zebra) 3.They has combine some e x t r a b o d y p a r t t a ke f ro m other creature

T h e b o d y p a r t o f al i e n c a n t a k i n g f ro m any animals as the ar tist want, like example this artist make a combination of bird with reptile animal, dinosaur also able to taking in to design of alien, with this few of the combination during design a al i e n c a n p ro d u c e a f re s h a n d s o m e freak feeling to people who saw this design for the first time.

T h e re i s m a n y c o m b i n a t i o n f ro m d i f ferent feature into another new looking creature, f o r e ve r y p a r t f ro m b o d y c a n b e re f e re n c e f ro m d i f f e re n t a n i m al s , l i ke example left top, the alien design is about bird head with long curving neck, body shape like deer and horse, dinosaur tail and small pointing feet and l e g re f e re n c e f ro m d e e r .

Most of the alien design style is mix many different animal par t into new creature, but some design is no changing too much o f t h e a p p e a r a n c e f ro m t h e c re a t u re b u t simply add some pattern on they body, and change only few par t of body design b u t eye - c a t c h i n g a s we l l . A s yo u c a n s e e f ro m t h e re f e re n c e o n l e f t , i t al s o matching some natural plant to the alien design

This example show ver y well how to make a dinosaur to alien -the ar tist has change a color of the dinosaur to pupple,pink and blue color that no exist in our ear th planet - A d d i n g e x t r a b o d y p a r t o n t h e d i n o s a u r b o d y f ro m h e a d t o t a i l , like feeler on ear, backside of dinosaur. -also the ar tist remove the original skin of the dinosaur into purple color armor. - T h i s c re a t u re i s m o d i f i e d f ro m t - re x d i n o s a u r , i t m a ke i t l o o k m o re f i e rc e a n d c re e py .

F i r s t s ta g e o f i n s p i r at i o n research

VISUAL cONCEPT FOR Monster design Unlike other design this two has simply apply the fruit to similar shape for the creature body, also it more simpler compare to other but the main issue to face doing this kind of design is shape of the origin animal too complex

The design of the dinosaur will be flexible, because the design dinosaur is unpredictable , so

This design of monster made with fruit also ver y well, for the apple and banana monster is design ver y well and i t wi ll be insipire me during design a creature for fruit planet

The design of the monster mainly wil be dinosaur and modified to creature for the planet because to the timeline and era of the planet is about dinosaur and stone age.

Design of dragon combine wi th food on they body, for me it is close to dinosaur so this will help me a lot when i apply the frui t design on the body of dinosaur into the new creature for the fruit planet .
