Gaming Art - Week 12 | Particle systems

I added emissions to the astronaut and comet to recreate fire. I was inspired by this tutorial [Low Poly fire particle system] to make it look low poly so the style stays consistent.

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.

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 ...
