Showing Narrative Through 3D Character Art

'Showing Narrative Through 3D Character Art' is a 2023 Digital Graduate Show project by Jaqueline Sweetin, a Computer Arts student at Abertay University.

Synopsis

For my project, I am researching how to show narrative through the design of my 3D characters. I am specifically focusing on NPCs as in some cases they can be often neglected when it comes to their design. I have created two NPC's - one of a medic merchant that would aid the player and another that is of an enemy creature. To start, I came up with a narrative that is of a post-apocalyptic theme. It tells the story of a deadly man-made parasite that has taken over Earth and how it affects its hosts. Referencing the narrative through my character's design with the use of presentation and texture creation can help create more interesting NPCs that can then allow the player to figure out the backstory allowing for more immersion in the experience.
