Dialogue: 0,0:05:00.77,0:05:02.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Chris R: Yeah, sure.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:02.92,0:05:09.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The concept stage for me is one of the most important stages of pretty much any art development,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:09.05,0:05:14.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,especially something as involved as a spaceship that we would have in {\i1}Star Citizen{\i0},
Dialogue: 0,0:05:14.76,0:05:20.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because it's really where you start to figure out the look,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:20.44,0:05:24.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but also it's not just the form but also the function you do a lot in the concept.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:24.19,0:05:29.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You're trying to figure out where I'm going to place the turrets, where the engine's going to be,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:29.52,0:05:33.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and so even though you don't fully model it, you have to start to think about -
Dialogue: 0,0:05:33.48,0:05:37.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where would the pilot climb into his cockpit or where would the cargo be loaded,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:38.13,0:05:40.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or say in the case of the gunship that we're doing,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:40.05,0:05:42.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's meant to be able to carry some troops - where could they unload.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:42.41,0:05:50.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,For me, it's really important to execute concept well because that sets the tone for the rest of...
Dialogue: 0,0:05:50.89,0:05:53.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The modeling is very involved, and the texturing and obviously animation,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:53.58,0:05:58.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that all brings it to actual life, but without the concept as your blueprint...
Dialogue: 0,0:05:58.15,0:06:03.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The concept really, like... If you think about it in film terms, it's like the concept is the script.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:03.91,0:06:06.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You can't have a good movie without a good script.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:06.11,0:06:10.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I mean, yes, you need actors, sets... All those things need to work and they'll always be done,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:10.94,0:06:13.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but without a really good script, everything else doesn't work.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:13.57,0:06:19.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the concept is basically that version when you are creating art,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:19.38,0:06:22.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,especially something as complicated as a spaceship...
Dialogue: 0,0:06:22.08,0:06:28.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Chris O: You'd say concept is like a two-tier thing where you're trying to sell an overall look and feel,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:28.39,0:06:31.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and get a sort of an emotional reaction of the ship,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:31.78,0:06:37.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and then you want to be able to call out specific areas to where you know it -
Dialogue: 0,0:06:37.49,0:06:41.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,can be built in 3D accurately.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:41.95,0:06:47.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's trying to communicate a few different things, and it's not easy to do all that in one image.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:47.48,0:06:49.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Except he can do it.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:49.86,0:06:55.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Chris R: But even when David was doing the Mustang, which everyone saw last episode,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:55.66,0:07:00.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you could see there was a couple of different tries, and you say this one looks a bit too -
Dialogue: 0,0:07:00.69,0:07:03.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the engines are too big, it looks too {\i1}racery{\i0}, let's move it to this.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:03.20,0:07:04.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Chris O: It's an evolutionary...
Dialogue: 0,0:07:04.50,0:07:09.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Chris R: And that's what you do in the concept stages, because you can explore things quickly,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:09.72,0:07:13.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and like Chris says, there's an emotional reaction that you'll have.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:13.30,0:07:18.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Like, you've got an idea - someone says "gunship" and you think of something.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:18.31,0:07:22.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If the picture on the page evokes that feeling to you, then you're on the right track,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:22.82,0:07:25.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and then, like Chris says, the next stage is...
Dialogue: 0,0:07:25.93,0:07:28.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You have to work out some of the details, because you want to work out the details of, like,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:28.98,0:07:35.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,how you get into things or where the engines are, or whatever, before you actually start modeling it,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:35.02,0:07:36.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because modeling takes a long time.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:36.49,0:07:38.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Sandi: Everybody remembers the specs, right, for the mercenary gunship?

Dialogue: 0,0:07:40.36,0:07:43.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Sandi: Yes, let me just recite them for you.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:57.10,0:08:03.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Chris R: So, we gave all 16 teams the same sort of bid from the UEE,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:03.35,0:08:09.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which was very specific in terms of engines and turrets, and functionality.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:09.82,0:08:13.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,One thing we left open was what the manufacturer was going to be,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:13.32,0:08:17.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to allow them to add a little creative inspiration.
Dialogue: 0,0:08:17.29,0:08:22.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They could decide they want to make it an RSI gun or they want to make it an Anvil Aerospace gunship,
Dialogue: 0,0:08:22.28,0:08:26.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and then also hopefully infuse some of the design elements we've seen from those manufacturers -
Dialogue: 0,0:08:26.69,0:08:31.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in our other ships into their gunship design, which I think would be really great.

Dialogue: 0,0:46:31.03,0:46:37.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,detail in it, and because of all that detail and the bulkiness of the bottom, that the wings felt

Dialogue: 0,0:49:22.18,0:49:26.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,although I think he's headed in the right direction. I would look at more reference, more real world
Dialogue: 0,0:49:26.94,0:49:35.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,vehicles, and certain things. I remember these two intakes on the side, they felt almost cartoony
Dialogue: 0,0:49:35.04,0:49:43.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so it's important to get the size and proportion of these things correct, then it will sell the rest

Dialogue: 0,0:50:17.70,0:50:23.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,he probably could have used a few of those. The silhouette he chose I almost liked better than
