To be able to do this successfully I researched ideas and other star wars themed media. I did this by searching for ideas on the internet, in books and magazines etc. making sure that I had little similarities to other products on the market.
I created this moodboard to use as some inspiration.
I decided on creating more of just a space themed screen saver as i thought that the brief was quite restricting.
I used 3D studio Max to create the animation I would use in the screen saver. Having limited skills I decided to try something simple. This would be a spaceship orbiting a planet.
The two elements, a spaceship and a planet would be simple to make but look quite effective.
I used some tutorials to help me develop my skills with some of the tools like extrude as I had little knowledge of the program when starting the project.
I also used Adobe Photoshop for creating the textures for the elements in the screen saver.
I think that the screensaver would do well for the target audience it is aimed at which would really be any space fanatic.
If I were to create a second screensaver I would like to allocate more time on modelling to try and create a more realistic looking scene. Another thing I would do would be to try and create a more realistic backdrop for the screensaver maybe some kind of star field.
During this project I believe that I have developed some skills with working with 3D Studio Max and would definitely feel more confident attempting another project.
Overall I am pleased with my outcome for this project feeling that I created a professional looking screensaver that others can enjoy.
