Final Major Proposal Video Link Proposal Notes Personal challenges within this project will include the complexity of the environment design and character rig. Due to the simplicity of the concept, I need to plan everything accordingly. The environment may seem simple, a country pathway, however, I need to limit the environment content, with efficiency to …
While I put a lot of effort into altering the materials appropriately in Maya instead of with Substance Painter, as soon as I exported the models and materials into Unreal Engine there were issues. The materials did not transfer as they should have and were completely different colours. At this point I was running out …
Thinking about how I will add the body décor. Since I want to be slightly protruding from the body as though he is wearing a suit and those parts are standing out as a piece of armour or alike. What it I duplicated the body. Then deleted faces I didn’t need and then moved the …
I decided to expand on the environment design to enhance the theme of science-fiction. I intend to lean more towards a futuristic building that suits the style of the objects. Mood board Working out the new design: Here you can see a very high-walled building with three levels and a walkway on the ‘second story’ …
Fabric Asset To create the fabric blowing in the wind asset I used n-cloth in Maya. I initially imagined this asset to be delicate and the fabric would be affected by the wind gently. I was in a state of deliberation over the location of the of the point constraints. Not only that, but that …
Here I made rough, experimental and observational drawings to aid the development of the design process and help my visual style merge well with the chosen audio track. I took many inspirations from any naturally moving objects, anything and everything I found. Mostly, subjects that presented a fluid movement were focussed on to provide appropriate …
Sickle Model I have found that I can visualise the materials of each part on the sickle better when looking at the model itself rather than just my 2D concept of it. Had to restart the sickle once. 1.Blade top. most reflective part. 2. Main Blade material: carbon steel (typical for knives). 3. Cover/skin of …
I have a lot more to plan and decide upon but for now, this is what I envision for the environment. Note to self: turn as many things as you find suitable into a sci-fi theme. I don’t have in terms of environment right now. Decision made so far: Floor is old solid wooden flooring. …
The proof of concept is a great opportunity to figure out hoe to work the lighting I make in Maya into Unreal- how does that even work? When making the proof of concept I had many problems concerning Unreal Engine since it was my first time using it. Many error messages came up about having …
Time period: 9 Weeks. From the 17th March to 19th May. Alloted time to update blog posts by end of each week. 2 weeks before deadline write critical appraisal. Roughly 12 objects to model, texture and colour… 3-4 weeks max to make the models, 1 to texture and 1 to finish up and put in …
Assassin’c Creed syndicate factory style building Anatomy Death stranding aura Sci-fi style objects TODO Techniques for workflow (e.g. which texture maps should I focus on applying to all of the models. Like normal and displacement) Techniques for UVing: mention the smooth tool I found in UVing. Also, should the persons UV be camera-based to help …

Below are my gathered words to help me decide on a title for the game. Something to do with survival and the helplessness of a task, especially under the circumstances of having no limbs. Single words: Suvival in terms of the individual. ‘Lapsed‘: No longer valid; expired. ‘Impotent‘: Unable to take effective action; helpless or …
Within this page, I have disclosed my early, pre-sketched out ideas for the visuals of the project contents. Such as how items within my video game world will look etc. Here are all of my preproduction rough sketches. Designs that I can imagine after being refined towards the style that I choose best fits with …
Here I have compiled all of the visual research that I will implement into the development of my preproduction work. These will help me plan and imagine how the 3D outcome will look. Overall, I would like quite an illustrated style, cartoony, fictional looking but somewhat realistic (like the benchmark below). 1. This is the …
This will be a simple test of the workflow that I have decided upon. What that means is that I will try out the modelling and texturing process and also remind myself/teach myself new things about modelling and texturing. For example, I have never been a fan of texturing in Photoshop or creating UV’s or …
