Before our playtest build on Week 10, I worked to finish retexturing all of my remaining props that I had left for the project, including the main navigation computer, treasure chest, pillow, hooks and hammock. Below are screenshots of the fully finished textures, along with some additional notes to better highlight the work that went intoContinue reading DES 336 Vertical Slice Project- Remaining Prop Retextures
After Week 7 of our Creative Industries module, our group was given crucial feedback on our art style, which was that our visuals in the Unreal project did not look like our chosen Saturday Morning Cartoon style, and that we are crucially behind getting our lighting test finished. As a result of this, I knewContinue reading DES 336 Vertical Slice Project- Art Style Update, New Props and Textures

Model Blocking- I expedited the blocking process by using the base animal blocking modelContinue reading Character Design- Development of the Opinicorvus: Production
Below is my Assignment 2 prop model fully textured in Substance 3D Painter. Additionally, I have also included images of the stickers seen on the suitcase which had been drawn in Krita. They include simple shapes to save on time, including two that resemble devil horns and an angel’s halo, but also feature stickers depictingContinue reading Assignment 2- Textured Prop Model

For Week 10 for our 3D Digital Lit. Module, we continued on with learning the full process of creating a model for animation. This week we focused on adding detail to a retopologised model, which can be used to regain any detail lost when retopologising without increasing the polygon count through the use of normalContinue reading Week 10- Adding Detail and Baking Normal Maps Workshop Task
The homework task for Week 5 in our 3D Digital Literacy module involved us modelling a helmet using a reference from history or fiction of our choice and exporting it to Substance 3D Painter to fully texture it. I personally found this homework task to be the most challenging due to mistakes I had madeContinue reading Week 5- Substance 3D Painter Homework
In Week 5 for our 3D Digital Literacy, we have started work on learning about the program Substance 3D Painter and how we can use it to add textures to our Blender models as opposed to UV texturing. Substance 3D Painter is a program that allows for much more detail to be added to models,Continue reading Week 5- Workshop Task
