For this sprint I started off by listening to the ideas that my designer had for a gun pickup item that could be in the game. Based on his ideas I created these ten sketches to help narrow down the look we were going for. I went for as much variety as possible in these sketches to give my designer options and in the end he liked a mix of two of them so I think it worked well.
After I got the final idea that we wanted I drew out a concept sketch of how the final prop would look and got approval on that so I could get ready to model.
This model took me a little bit longer than I would have liked, It took me a second to get back into the groove of using maya and modeling as I haven't done either this semester. After a couple of tries and revisions I got it to a place where both me and my producer were happy with it.
finally I rigged and animated the object into a sort of idle animation so the player can notice it at pick it up. Overall the rig was the hardest part of this project, I think I will like rigging with a little more practice but for now it is still mostly a mystery to me.
lastly I re-exported some of my previous drawings so they could be placed into the middle of the gun pickup model so the player can have a preview of which gun they are picking up before they grab it.
