3D Modelling Concept work & Timed Assessment

'The Fortis Defendere'

This is a scene i created using the 3D model i created in my timed assessment. I based the design off of monolithic structures with a sc-fi theme, a more specific example would be that of the Forerunner ships/structures from the Halo Universe (see below).

When designing the Fortis Defendere (my model) i created a whole design idea and backstory to it, this helps me to create the actual design and feel of the model. (below is the back story i created)

The Fortis Defendere

The Defendere was designed as a border defence tower in a futuristic earth where all that survives of the U.N. are 5 nations; what is left of the United Kingdom (northern England & Scotland), Canada, Most of central Russia, Brazil and 16 Surviving states of the U.S.A. in 2137 worldwide fuel shortages resulted in a group of scientists establishing the last hope for our civilisation, Project NOVA. The NOVA Project, an international research project formed to create a stable, non radioactive fusion-able source of power, 26 years after its inception, they succeeded fulfilling their goals. However their new found pride quickly turned to horror when they realised NOVA had the potential for a terrible side effect. The project also yielded the possibility of a non-polluting nuclear weapon to be created from it. All members of the U.N. demanded access to the technology for the purposes of creating these ultimate weapons. This resulted in what became known as the 'into the fire incident' fear quickly enveloped the globe and small border wars between nations quickly developed into full scale war. The deployment of NOVA NRFW's into major population areas became standard, decimating the 3 major users of this weapon, the UK, USA and Russian Federation. All other nations became either barren desolate wastelands or joined the 'Unaligned' a name given to the loose alliances of former nations left after WWIII most no bigger that central park in New York. Because of the threat the Unaligned posed, being armed with the previously banned nuclear weapons and armies of furious men and women fuelled by hatred for the creators and users of the NOVA’s, The Fortis Defendere were created, designed as a means to protect the last major cities of the U.N. from nuclear, areal and Ship attack. Each Defendere is powered by a single NOVA reactor, six of these monoliths guard the borders of each major city, 8 dozen guarding the borders of each nation. For 100 years they sit vigilantly watching, protecting and waiting for the coming storm.
