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.

Senior Game Project Week 8: Entry 2 of 2

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!

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.

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.

I've unwrapped about a quarter of the assets within the scene thus far. I plan to get at least three quarters of the unwrapping by the end of the weekend. Another goal for this weekend is to look up lots of reference images for my textures.

This week marks the beginning of the unwrapping and texturing process. The texturing on this project is very crucial to getting the look I"m going for. I've got a few weeks to spend on this portion of the project and then I need to work on the lighting. I'm about halfway done so far, and I'm pretty pleased with my progress up to this point.

I added a couple more small assets to the scene and I put a whole in the ceiling, revealing copper pipes. Due to feedback I got, as it stood the environment didn't look "abandoned", so I'm modeling a bit more damage to the environment. However, a lot of the environment's aged look will come out in the textures.

This week is the final week to model. I'll be adding a couple small additions and tweaking what's already in the scene. I'll give you an update on Thursday with the progress.
