WEEK 02 - WORLDBUILDING


Prompt:

Martin Scorsese, donning a VR headset, barked directions as Robert De Niro passionately embraced a lifelike mannequin in an endless, sun-drenched digital meadow. Suddenly, De Niro clutched his chest, collapsing to the ground, his avatar frozen in an awkward position while alarms blared in the real world. As medics rushed in, the VR system glitched, trapping De Niro’s consciousness inside the simulation—where the mannequin slowly turned its head and whispered, "We’re not done yet, Bobby."   

Moodboard:


 


World Building:

Our story brainstorming got really crazy this week. I really liked the cinematic feel and the strong sunlight from the first moodboard, so I pictured this romantic sunset landscape for my world. 

I used lanscape mode to paint some mountains in the background, as well as an elevated foreground for the characters to stand on to add some depth to the composition.

I used the third person player as the main characters and changed the material of one of the characters to a silver metal material to embody the mannequin/robot. I then used the foliage brush to add some plants from the starter pack. I also played around with the exponential height fog to add some dimension to the scene.
