Imitation Legal document

 

 Legal Documents


NDA [Non Disclosure Agreement]:

General info on NDA's. 
A non disclosure agreement is generally defined as a legally binding document that keeps an individual from sharing information, the information under the NDA can be effectively anything which includes but is not limited to; trade secrets, proprietary assets, any artwork pertaining to the IP and unfortunately misconduct, whether it's between employees and business partners. NDA's are a way to silence people however they are a useful tool when trying to get an edge over a competitor in the industry so they won't have information on the types of projects or technology you are working on.  






I created this NDA in word using a template generated by ChatGPT, this enabled me to read through the document and add in the relevant information for example the types of information that need to stay under the non disclosure agreement like the assets and concepts were create while on the project. This document outlines all of the information that we have to keep under wraps as well as how long for. 
Each of us have read and signed it so we are technically under the contract to keep our information private, however there are no lawyers to stop us and there aren't any people that would try sue us for breaking the contract as we are the studio executives.

Contract of Engagement:

The contract of engagement outlines how we are going to interact with the brief, the assets we produce and services we provide alongside how we will keep to our other related contracts, to ensure we don’t break them while on the project.

Environmental statement: 

Our environmental statement reads as follows.

At I.D.I.O.T. Studios, we believe that we have a responsibility to educate and inform others of the importance of sustainability through innovative games.

Our Commitment:

  1. Eco-Conscious Development: We strive to minimise our environmental impact by using energy-efficient technologies, reducing waste, and opting for sustainable materials in our workplace and production processes.
  2. Digitally Exclusive: Any games we produce will be released digitally. By doing this we reduce the waste from physical products, lower our carbon footprint and conserve resources.
  3. Environmental Education: Our games explore themes of environmental stewardship and social responsibility, encouraging players to reflect on how their own habits and actions impact the environment and their local area.
  4. Continuous Improvement: We will continue to research and look at new practices and methods to improve our studios sustainability and carbon footprint as we aim to keep improving.

 

We hope to inspire our players to think mindfully of their actions through our games and to create change.

 

From all at I.D.I.O.T. Studios.

The environmental statement describes how we as a company will endeavour to reduce our own carbon footprint most notably by only selling digital copies as well as using digital documents instead of paper ones. On top of that we will also make an effort to teach our audience about how what we do affects the local and global environment.

Real Worlds: Research Dossier

 Real Worlds Research Dossier SWOT Analysis My strengths when it comes to this project are generally character design including the props and written backstory of my characters another strength is my ability to produce some half decent key art. I will play to my strengths in the 3d section by doing a paint over of a 3d block out as well as creating some interesting props to look at within the piece itself. My major weakness is 3D and the general workflow around it, I have some skill but I am nowhere near good enough in my opinion. Another weakness of mine is ideation and perspective so I'll try to push myself a bit more in those aspects. The ideation section of the 3d will help me improve on this area of weakness because it will allow me to delve further into shape language and storytelling through visual details. An opportunity that will come up in this project will be when I receive direct feedback from a client telling me whether the designs are working or not enabling me to go ...

Texturing and model complete

 Texturing Render captured in Sketchfab Texturing my model was quite simple I colour picked from my original character sheet and placed them where necessary using the polygon fill feature and a black mask. I also did most of the texturing on the base colour viewport to retain as much accuracy as I could.  One thing I will say before any critique over the accuracy of colours on the Tommy gun is purely for character background the chamber and the barrel aren't rust blued is because they want to take care of this weapon themselves; to stay disciplined and as a reminder, the magazine gets changed way more frequently and is not a part that is as important to her although she does fill her own magazines.  Character Texture tile Thompson M1928 Texture tile  I do plan on going back through my textures and adding my own shading instead of relying on lighting as much, doing so would also allow me to add more personality to the final model. There will also be a version with the...

Character sculpt 2 - Gangster

 Character sculpt 2 - Gangster To start off my sculpt I used the base female model that comes with Zbrush. my main goal with this is to speed up my process I will eventually change the face to better match my character model but this acts as a good jumping off point.  The first part of the sculpt I created were the trousers the following method applies to all of the main sections of the sculpt. I start with a mask and then extract at zero thickness without a double sided surface. Next I then use the polish by features operation and then Zremesh the extracted object with it set to 1 to get it as close to 1000 polys as possible once that is done I'll do some minor tweaks and remesh it again. After that I'll apply the dynamic subdivision setting adding thickness  without actually confirming it this way I have some more freedom while keeping the original low poly mesh. Each of these components aside from the base mesh were created using the method I wrote in my last pa...
