For my portfolio I only wanted to add what I considered my best work in this project, so I uploaded my Rock Floor material to Artstation, link below: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/G88x03 I rendered a turntable in Marmoset Toolbag and plan on added more shots of it in use. For the rest of my assets I may touch…Continue Reading Portfolio
This will be particularly brief, I wanted to decided how I’d set up all the shots in my scene and aside from the shots I had illustrated there needed to be more, so, I decided to create an intro sequence moving from the unlit area to a wide shot of the room. Another aspect I…Continue Reading Composition and Final Video
To begin me and Danielle discussed the size of the scene and whether or not to keep it small and compact, we decided to follow through with this. We also designed some compositions for shots. Mine are below: We decided the focal point was the anvil, which is being created by John. A way I…Continue Reading Setup and Lighting the Scene
I decided for the fun of it I would make a shield out of my barrels lid, then make a narrative of it in my scene of how the blacksmith is desperate for resources to the point that he is using anything he can find. This was quick and easy to do as all I…Continue Reading Makeshift Shield
These props are less important and so I put less time into developing them, the concept was fairly simple I wanted to make a tennon saw out of wood and exaggerate its features. I thought if this saw looked cheap it would help sell the idea that the blacksmith who owned the forge is not wealthy…Continue Reading Saw/Makeshift Saw/Ingot
To begin I looked at what type of floors are seen in forges and what sort floors look like in World of Warcraft, below are the references I gathered . I also gathered videos on materials similar to the look I wanted below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RqHo-rwkz3M&ab_channel=3dEx https://youtu.be/zu9tq1P_Q9M And this! Material Features I attempted a few different patterns…Continue Reading Floor Material/ Wall Material
My wood material was very straightforward following techniques in the video below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apa2DKNDINs&t=205s&ab_channel=3dEx Major distinctions between my material and 3DEXs include using thicker strokes on the wood grain, a darker general shade to the wood and utilising a histogram range/scan to create highlights on the edges of the wood. I also toned down the noise…Continue Reading Wood Material
I decided to begin with my barrel, I felt though it is a simple prop its design can be pushed to be something impressive. To begin I decided to quickly sketch up a design to go off in my sketch book, despite this obviously being disadvantagous in the modelling phase as applying this to the…Continue Reading Barrel Development
Going into this project I want to focus on developing Substance Designer Materials, so any items I make I to emphasize whatever materials I make. I also want to be able to share these assets so other people can develop their models in a consistent visual style. In doing this I have selected these assets:…Continue Reading What I Plan on Doing/ Pipeline for Asset Creation
To begin this project our group wanted to establish what era the forge was going to be in, our conclusion came to a celtic forge set in between the 17th and 18th century, moving in a more stylised direction. We decided to aim for dark fantasy in the vain of World of Warcraft and Sea…Continue Reading Establishing the Scene, Organising the Project
