HEre's my finished entry to UC 2009. I've learned alot, but next time I'll either do it 2d or just on object in 3d rather than the whole thing. If I do I'll have to join the 3der's and I'm not ready ^^;. My first environment and 3d base mesh. Learning Sketchup was blast but navigating the camera in and around was a pain.
The theme this year was "endgame"- end of the world or end boss level, point of no return etc. The Theatre de la Lune or theater of the moon caters to Vampires and humans are not allowed unless you want to be served up as the main event. The stage is set there's a sword that's your hope in the last battle, but it will take more than that to defeat the boss vampire, he can have his actors battle it on stage with you or mimic your teamates. If they suck the blood of your friends they become part of the boss vampires forces and you won't get them back. Your best friend has been captured it seems..they want to meet you at night. In the daytime you have the advantage of sabotaging their equipment.. Turn the mirrors in different directions or toward eachother or the east to reflect the dawn and switch the power on the globe higher than normal etc. That way when they go turn the lights They'll be temporarily blinded and in pain for you to make the finishing blow..or you fight until dawn and hope the rising sun will save you before it's too late. To finish off the vampire behead them with your GA sword or stab them in heart set the vampire on fire with your cigarette lighter , get friends and get the heck out. At least that's what I think is going on here.
THis combines my love and knowledge of Theater Design- a cross between Greek Ampitheater and Elizabethan Theater(shakespeare's globe) but for vampires will always need cover from the elements. The stages represent the main types of staging like proscenium (modern stage, audience in front), thrust stage(audience on three sides), and theater in the round or greek orkestra. Also they symbolize the phases of the moon from crescent to full. I was inspired by the globe, Palladio's villa rotunda and Gaudi's architecture. I hope to be doing more from this world.
