Hello everyone!
Time for my 2nd scratch built case! This time the focus will be around one of my favorite games of all time, Mirrors Edge. And with Mirrors Edge 2 being announced at E3 this year, I thought, what a better way to celebrate than to build a case around the art direction from the game. I will be using this thread as a complete build log, from design, to CAD modeling, construction, and finishing.
So lets get started shall we!
One of the many reason I feel in the love with the game was the look and feel of the environment, as well as the game play itself. The environment was very vibrant, bright colors, a stark contrast to a lot of the dull brown a lot of games seem to have. For those of you who have not seen or played the game, here are some images for it that I drew inspiration from.
For now, all that I have is an initial sketch of what I hope the final design to look like, I will be doing some photoshop work to it and do more sketching and drawing to get some of the finer details work out in the beginning.
As far as hardware is concerned, I'm still in to beginning design stages so I have yet to choose what will be going into the final build, that will come later down the road.
A overall ideas I have at the moment about the design
- Completely white exterior, one of the prominent features of the game is its use of white in all of the exterior buildings
- Bright colored interior, again, the use of very vibrant colors on the interiors of the buildings was interesting to see and I want to incorporate that into the design as well
- Need to be clean, inside and out, no mess no slop.
If anyone has anything else they would like to add say, feel free to comment!
I hope this goes well and thanks for viewing!
Stay Tuned!
Feel free to check out the livestream channel, I will be doing a lot of CAD modeling of this project, and you can watch the progress as I go. Times will be random, but check every so often, you might catch me at a time when I'm streaming!
