“The space between the real world and the mindful world is Virtual. ”
Maya playblast
This is the maya animation playblast that shows all the molds when they are in Maya. The final game is down in Unity.
Below is some still frames from the final Unity game and detail introductions about the concept behind the work.
CONCEPT
I want to create a world that in some way represents my inner world. How I live and work with therapy to keep myself clam from depression and unstableness.This world demonstrates how I define myself as a person, and how I live in this real world dimension. Walter Russell Mead said that "Utopia is a place where everything is good, Dystopia is a place where everything is bad, Heterotopia is where things are different. I think look through this piece is similar as look into me at that moment. In this space, I am sharing what I see and feel as I am living right now.
The players will start the scene in a invisible box on a hand that has stairs going into the face with a clown mask. They can explore the space inside this box, but the only way to get out from the box is to climb the stairs. This head with the mask is an representation of me.
When players walk through the face and get to the top of the stairs, they will see a rotate bottle that has medicines inside under the top of the stairs. The medicines are flying up and are going into a tunnel. The players will also be able to see another space under their feet, but the only way to get to that space is to go through the tunnel.
After transferring in the tunnel falls down, the players will see the second space of the scene. I create all the tunnels and manage them to pass through every part of the space. Inside this area, the players can choose either to follow the direction of the tunnels or just walking around. Those bouncing words "Relax" that I created in maya have rigidbodies that can be pushed by players.
There are also some other objects are moving or changing. For example, the balloons are rotating, and the rotating coffee cups are changing colors.
Players will find out that the tunnel is leading them to a door on the back of the space. They would be warned that they are not able to go back once they want to pass the door. Players can only pass the door by walk into the tunnel. It is the way to go to the last scene.
As people walk through the tunnel, they can see hands and warn signs to prevent them from walk further.
If players choose to continue walking, they will fall from the space, and walk into an ambulance. Where they can see medicines all around. This represent the nightmares I had during these time period.
As crossing through the medicine players will find a red square which is the exit of the ambulance.
Players will fall again, pass through soap bubbles and fall into a small box.
Inside this box is the most deeper level of my mind, and also it is the location that all the medicines in the tunnels are sent to. The middle of the box is a brain.
This space is my deepest awareness, and also is the end of this piece.
