This week, finished with my work and with Luca taking over the animations I asked the animators in my group if they needed more help with any work. I followed this tutorial again. For sean I helped texture a few props he had made I began with the medkit, a simple task I then texturedContinue reading Assets and Texturing- Week 10
This week again, was texturing. This time, the alien. Keeping to the colour scheme of the palets that I chose I began texturing. I wanted the alien to be scarier, more sinister, keeping dark colours but also giving it a pop of contrasting colours. I wanted to add emission, I used the pen tool toContinue reading Texturing Aliens- Week 9
Following from last week I needed to texture the the arms of the fps I followed the same colour schemes as the NPC, making sure to use the same style I did have them look different originally as I did the original trial on them and realised I needed to stick to stylised textures butContinue reading Texturing and Unreal Engine- Week 8

I watched how this youtube poly modelled the helmet almost perfectly so I gathered my sketches and did the sameContinue reading Week 5
This week in class Rachel gave us a lecture on Material/UV Optimisation. I was a bit confused starting up but I followed along. I started with making a plank of wood, pretty simple but she was showing effective ways of saving time when modelling. Instead of sculpting and including the steps of retopology I usedContinue reading Material/UV Optimisation – Week 4
This week in class we put together a presentation to showcase the work that we have done so far, the feedback was long and extensive, a bit scary but I took the feedback and worked on a few more ideas. The main feedback was that my alien guide didn’t fit the style of the gameContinue reading Feedback – Week 3
