The Walking Drone


When first thinking of what I wanted to do for the environment I knew I wanted to create a clean, shiny sci-fi environment. I did however ant to make it a little more active than just the walls, floors and props. I had the idea of making some little drones that would walk and fly around. I found some awesome concept art for a small walking drone. (I also feel kinda back for forgetting who created it.)
I did stray from the concept a little, since I wouldn't be including the folding into itself. I made the body itself larger and changed the shape 



This is the final model/texture. I played around with different placements of the painted areas. I also
tried a couple different configurations with pseudo "eyes", however it always looked slightly too goofy. One thing I think I may change is the head, I feel I strayed slightly too far from the concept here and made the head too large.

Corridor Test

 I started first trying out different wall designs. Creating high-polys to see how they flow together and
how I can create some different variations of them. On the right is the first design I came up with. You can also see some variations I created. The computer panel variation on the left I quite liked, however the pipes and things on the right I felt had no real use. Something I want to prioritise is that everything has some seemingly meaningful purpose.
So after that I started from scratch and created the walls you see below. I made them much simpler than the last set so I could keep to the clean aesthetic. I then created the rest of these pieces in that style so that I could make this text corridor to conform that this would be the style I go for.
