BSA228 - Week 7 | Building assets: hazards, enemies and collectables + Building the astronaut

This week I started building assets and started the astronaut.

ASSETS

The asteroids were really easy to make. I started with a sphere and decreased a looot the subdivisions until it was almost a cube and then I just pulled vertices and edges here and there, very randomly.



For the enemies I started with a cylinder and decreased the subdivisions as well. For the lights and spikes I used Duplicate Special, so handy!
Then I made a low poly crown (sorta) for the Queen of the aliens.



For the comet I started with a sphere and cubes where I pulled one corner back . Then I duplicated it a lot of times until I got this. I'm posting it in 3 mode as well because it looks pretty funny.



ASTRONAUT

So even though everything is low poly the astronaut took a little bit longer and I did not really know how to go because I was thinking how the topology is going to affect the rigging afterwards because is so low poly. But I'll see in the next class when I get a little feedback.

I still need to do more details like the buttons on the front, the patches and the backpack.

BSA227 - Week 9 | Nuke: Green Screen

Image
Import all the files with Read nodes.  Add a Keylight node and on the right side click the color pipe and select the green screen. Change the view to Screen Matte to see the result in grayscale values. This way is easier to control the amount of green without altering the character too much. Add a Roto node and mask the character. Merge the mask and the background with a Merge node. Change the View to Final Result . The background is too big for the screen format. To fix this add a Reformat node. Lastly, I corrected the colour of the character to make her fit better in the background's lighting.

Gaming Art - Week 7 | Mudbox + LOD in Maya and Unity

Image
MUDBOX The first thing is import the the objects in Maya, in this case a low poly bridge. Delete the history and attributes and send it to Mudbox ( File > Send to Mudbox > Send as new scene ). Under the Select/Move Tools Tab click on the Scale tool and scale it 10x10x10, because the scale is different between Mudbox and Maya. Increase the Subdivision levels up to 5 with Shift+D . Create a new sculpt layer. Now we can start carving. Select the sculpt tool and some stamp, increase the Strength to 100 and make the size pretty small. Activate Invert Function and start carving the stones. After that I added a granulated texture with a very big brush and weak strength. Then import a rock texture for the stones and set it as a stencil or stamp. Under the Paint Tools tab select the Projection and start painting. Oh, and do this in a new diffuse Paint Layer . In a new Specular Paint Layer paint with the Paint Brush black where it is not shiny and whit...

Gaming Art - Week 1 | Game selection

We got homework on our very first class. We have to do some research on three games that we like: an in NZ developed game, Indie and AAA. NZ Game: Extinction Squad Pik Pok games:  http://pikpok.com/ Join daredevil scientist Chuck Darwin's elite team of zoological defenders and embark on a globe-trotting adventure to rescue endangered animals from extinction. Dodos, gorillas, pandas, lions and more are GOING TO DIE unless you catch them with your official Extinction Squad trampoline and bounce them to safety. Miss and they will be nothing but bloody smears on the ground...and footnotes in the natural history books. Indie Game: Super Hot I found out about this game watching this reaction/gameplay video . I think the concept is very smart and it takes a bit of strategy to play. Also, although the visuals are really minimalistic, they're still very effective.  Here's the trailer:  A first-person virtual reality shooter in which time moves only when ...
