Mechs

Specification
Your task is to plan for the creation of a believable, mechanical, digital 3D
model to be used as a worthwhile asset in a computer game. Review a range
of mechanical models used in digital media and consider the originality of
your concept and ensure it is not based on any existing designs. Use early
concept generation techniques to explore potential avenues of exploration,
such as mind maps and mood boards. Select promising ideas from the
research collected and generate sketches to show that you understand how it
works and how it could be modelled. Produce visual material to show all
aspects of your Mech consider aspects like how it will be able to move and
explain any modifications to your methods as develop your concepts.

Create an original mech design while using other mechs as inspiration. You will
need to consider colour schemes, sizing, overall theme and design. You will
also need to produce several pieces of highly detailed sketch work in different
medias. You will need to produce plans and initial research in the form of a
mood-board.

Legal and ethical issues

Copyright is one of the most important legal issues within the gaming industry
as one companies mech can look like a different companies one and they
could sue for invasion of intellectual property. There are many ethical issues
with the idea of mechs as they can be seen as an attempt to create artificial
life which goes against the bible and most mechs are designed to kill or harm
people or creatures and many people are against hurting or maiming
anything.
