Evaluation Level 2 Platform Explorer

I done ten initial sketches for this project which was each member of Slipknot (past) and two of Corey because Corey’s mask evolved with each album whilst the other 8 had kept the same basic design. To do these I used the Wacom bored and pens in Photoshop using the brush tool. I feel I was pretty successful in these tools because if you look through my blog you’ll be able to see these for yourself. Drawing helped formulate my idea because it was making the idea of the mosh more concrete and drawing the Slipknot ones gave me the idea to stem from slipknot to other metal bands such as Bullet for my valentine or Amon Amarth.

2D Creative problems

Throughout my project I had drawn out many initial ideas my personal favourite being the 10 slipknot ones. I drew these on Photoshop using the Wacom pens and bored and the brush tool.

3D creative Problems

When doing my models I used drawings to think about the placement of each indent or where to place the eyes and mouth. The research I conducted was finding a decent Vol. 3 ‘The Subliminal Verses’ Mask to help me place all the stitching and the mouth hole and eye holes. We used the terracotta clay to make this mask whilst to make Mr.7’s mask we used air-drying clay. Personally I preferred the terracotta clay because with the air drying clay we were under a limit to design it before it dries. We had to wedge the terracotta clay to get rid of all the air. And we had to keep wetting them both so they didn’t dry out.

Evaluation for solving time-based creative problems:

Drawing and designing a 3D model of levels helped me because I was able to figure out where I wanted things to be placed like bosses or Easter eggs. The research I done helped me to understand which made a good platform game and a bad one. The software used throughout this project was Construct 2 to actually make the game and Photoshop to design the characters and things. I had only one problem learning construct I had troubles understanding it all it and still find it difficult.

Here is some of Aaron Chen’s work I find it interesting as some of his work is mechanical. I like it also as it’s a little out there in the design with the robot and human suit thing 

Making our Moulds

With making these moulds there was a ratio from plaster to water witch was 2:1. In making these moulds as normal there was some steps we followed:

1.Cleaning out the latex cases with water to get rid of left over clay

2.Using PVA glue and water Shiam made a paste to strengthen the plaster.

3.Shiam then added the plaster and mixed it with the PVA to make a thicker paste

4.Shiam poured the Paste into our latex moulds

5.We had to tap the tub holding the moulds getting rid of the air

As expected we had some performance issues which were: finding out where the holes were causing us to loose plaster, also it was rushed so the moulds that were too small for the pot kept falling in… we needed to be more prepared

Along with that there were also things that went right which were: we managed to get the mixture right because it started to get warm.

We had to wear aprons to protect our clothes as if the plaster got on to our clothes it’d harden and could ruin our clothes.

We needed to repeatedly tap the mould so that the air would go to the top and escape the mould.

Some materials that can be casted are: metal, concrete and plastic resin

Different forms of moulding:

1.                       Blow moulding

2.                       Powder metallurgy plus sintering

3.                       Compression moulding

4.                       Extrusion moulding

5.                       Injection moulding

6.                       Laminating

7.                       Reaction injection moulding

8.                       Matrix moulding

9.                       Rotational moulding

10.             Spin casting

11.             Transfer moulding

12.             Thermoforming

13.             Vacuum forming,

Final Design (Johan Hegg)

I finished the colouring of Amon Amarth’s Johan Hegg for this I used Photoshop and each time I went on to something different I.E. going from his skin to his shirt. That is the final design. My idea also contained The Rev from ‘Avenged sevenfold’ though I decided against that because I just thought it’d save time
