Senior Project Week 10: Entry 1 of 2

Well, this is the last week of the term and I can say that I am now finished. I just have to write up my process book and update my website. Here is a final render of the project. I'm fairly pleased with how it turned out. I wanted to challenge myself with a project that focused on my weak points as an artist. In the case, it was texturing and lighting. However, in hindsight it might have just been better to stick with a project that showed off my skills as a modeler. That's beside the point though. Overall, I think it turned out alright. I learned a lot in the process, working with VRay for the first and all. On Thursday I will blog for the last time on this project, but keep checking back because I will continue to blog on other projects I'm working on.

Senior Game Project Week 9: Entry 2 of 2

This is the current render I have of my scene. I still have to mess with the lighting and tweak some texrues but overall it's coming along nicely.

This week I begin work on the lighting for the project. I've already messed around a bit with different types of lights and the time of day within the scene. I've also pretty much finished working on the textures. I just have to make a few small tweaks. I'll post a render this Thursday. Hopefully I should be pretty far along with the lighting by then.

Week 8: Eric Swarts

Our presentation is fast approaching. I drew up a simple line level in Flash for Matt to use in the tech demo and I'll be starting work on level 3 this weekend for the actual game.

Like I said the last entry, I've been experimenting with different ways to texture chipping paint. Here's an image of one of my textures.

This is one of ways I was working with texturing paint chipping. Texturing isn't my strong point, but I'm getting better. I should be finished with the texturing process by Tuesday. Once that's done I'll be working on the lighting in the scene for the last week. Almost done!

Senior Project Week 8: Entry 1 of 2

I seemed to have missed blogging at the end of last week, but I've just been primarily concentrated on textures for the model. I've been experimenting with different ways to do cracked and peeling paint. I just found a way that I'm fairly happy with and am going to go back and change one of my other textures to reflect the new method. I'll be posting some textures this Thursday.

Senior Game Project Week 7: Entry 1 of 2

This week I am working on unwrapping my textures. I'm a little late on this first blog of the week, but everything is on schedule. I planned to have all of the unwrapping done by Friday, and I actually just finished unwrapping the last model a couple of hours ago. I plan to have a good part of the texturing done by this upcoming Tuesday, so we'll see how that goes. I'll make a new post tomorrow updating everyone on my texturing process.
