Project 2 Unreal Scene - Blockout and Modelling - Update 1

Project 2 - Blockout and Modelling - Update 1

    Just a quick update screenshot from the unreal scene as I had spent time today modelling the sink counter and drawers and testing out how they fit in the unreal scene in terms of scale, visual aesthetic, etc...





    Here is a closer screenshot of the asset in Maya just for reference. 





    When I had shown the original blockout using Unreal assets in class I was informed that where I had placed the cubes for the counters were a little too high to where the player camera was sitting and so I tried to keep this in mind for when I came to model this as I preferred to just lower it slightly below the player waist line in order to avoid having to alter the camera height in unreal as when I tested the fridge asset in unreal it was set at a good height and as such I didn't want these assets to clash and cause issues due to scale.

Tavern Scene - Reference Image building

 Tavern Scene - Reference Image building So this is just a quick post with a link to my pinterest board that I use for the reference images to start building the first scene of the Tavern. I decided I wanted the iconic tavern table scene so started to gather reference for tables, chairs and other miscellaneous items such as tankards, bottles, etc...  Here is the link to the pinterest board: https://www.pinterest.co.uk/lmuir2963/tavernreference-masters/ I also gathered some reference images for fantasy style weapons as I plan to implement them into the scene somehow to give some more visual information to the group of adventurers that are using the table. It also helps set the tone that they may have just come back from a quest or adventure and are enjoying some downtime. Here are some of the images I gathered on the board to provide context; All the original images can be found on the pinterest board along with others that informed my designs .

Literature Review Book 1

  Literature review book 1          As seen from the image above the first book I intend to use within my literature review is titled Close Range Photogrammetry written by Thomas Luhmann and others, originally published in 2006 and looks to have been republished in 2011.      This book looks at the theory of photogrammetry as well as the practical and technical applications at the time of publication. This will be incredibly useful for me to understand the nuances of photogrammetry and expand my knowledge on the subject at a fundamental level.      The one thing I have to take into consideration is the age of the publication, as technologies and methods have advanced so much in the last 15 to 20 years or so this book while useful isn't all there is to know and after briefly scanning through the book there doesn't seem to be much reference to photogrammetry within games design, I do need a more detailed read of the book to ensur...

MA Games Design - High Poly P9 Part 2

Image
  High Poly Pistol Development     Just another quick progress update to follow on from the last post with some more screenshots of the high poly pistol development process.      As you can see in the above screenshots I added back in the trigger, slide lock and mag release button along with the front and rear iron sights. These were all pretty simple to do and most were just using the base low poly version, the slide lock I had to remodel the right side as on the low poly version there weren't enough grip indentations which caused an issue when trying to increase the detail.      As well as this I modelled in the tactile grip sections on the front and back of the pistol grip section on the lower receiver. This was a case of modelling one version I was happy with and then just duplicating it down along the sections and placing them correctly so they fit within the ergonomics of the lower receiver.
