The Wonka Cars:

The concept for this project was to create some fun, characterful vehicle designs from the world of Willy Wonka. I want to be able to portray elements of the characters through these vehicle designs, a bit like how Hot Wheels have character/film based cars. There's a lot of different things you can do to create something like this, and everybody may have a different idea for how a character may appear as a vehicle/what their vehicle would be within their world. A vehicle that combines magic and wonder with elements of a specific character. The concept for this project was really based around wonder and fun.

The goal for the major project, for me, was to have fun, and to do this: create something fun. Fun and achievable has been the name of the game for my Major project, as my last project (Minor) ended up being too heavy for me to continue, despite putting everything I could into it- I decided, with some help, to start again. This meant, there would be very little time left on the course, so it had to be something achievable and enjoyable for me to make it through successfully. The real goal was that it all had to be achievable within two months rather than just over a year. 

The agreed outcomes for the Major project were to have a handful of simplistic and fun, characterful 3D models and designs for the main cast (of 6) from Willy Wonka. As time went on it was agreed that a total of 3 good models would be the end-goal. Two simplistic and one slightly more complicated. It was also agreed that these models would have movement throughout them to really bring them to life.
