Week 10
HI. Quickly trying out the skills and technical enquiries to have some reassurance
This blog will be mainly sharing the further exploration of my technical enquiries and my attempt towards the visuals
Technical enquiries
I tried out PlayCanvas to get myself familiarize with the user interface and the functions/features available. I also went and search for a beginner level crash course from YouTube to sort of have an introduction towards PlayCanvas.
From here, I also started planning the technical requirements for each page in the microsite so that I would have a clearer direction on the technical research that I have to prepare.
Interaction planning
Visuals planning
I created a visual moodboard regarding the 3D and 2D graphics that I want to approach.
For the 3D space, I want to go with a more low poly style with smooth and simple texturing. These type of 3D style can allow me to achieve an art direction that is more stylized.
As for the 2D graphics, I want to go with flat graphics with the use of bold colors. These graphics will be mainly applied on the main landing page on the typography. The typography concept that I want to approach is to have the flat graphics incorporated into the typeface to form a unique typography.
Finalize + Sketches
3D progress
Update on the planning and prototyping of the 3D space
Sketches
3D draft placeholder
I have not applied the finalized materials/texture that I have in mind, I would need to find time to do some experimentation on the materials and textures that would be appealing for the 3D space.
Setting up the 3D space and modelling the 3D objects were much more harder that I have expected. The overall progress was quite time consuming, hopefully I will be able to find a solution to speed things up.
Task planning
I did further planning on the different areas that I have to be prepared for the microsite such as the content planning, visuals planning and the UI component planning.
(the navigation/interaction planning is at the top)
I did the planning based on main pages and features that is available in the microsite and the specific visuals, UI components and content that is needed in these specific areas.
These are so far the progress I have achieved. I am slowly starting to proceed with prototyping, which might take more time for different experimentations such as the 3D and 3D graphics and technical execution. Hopefully, I could be able to overcome the coming obstacles.
That's all for now, in my next blog, I will be updating the different progress enquiries.
