Sprint #3 Delivery Summer

 

For this sprint, I created 2D UI assets of the Oculus controllers as well as retexture and update the factory walls and floors. I implemented our ID map RGB system like the rest of the experience to these assets.

Portfolio 2 Week 1

 For my second project, I am sculpting and modeling my own concept art Bonnie Usami, a bunny girl.
During this first week, I began proxying in Zbrush and starting the sculpting process. Learning from my experiences with the last project, I will be focusing on spending more time sculpting in A pose and stay in symmetry for as long as possible before posing. This way, game ressing will be more straight forward. 

To do this, I will get symmetry sculpting finished and the I will bring my sculpt into Maya for retopology. Then I will bring the mesh back into Zbrush to pose and sculpt from. My hope is with this method, I would just have to finesse my game res to compensate for deformations and changes in the mesh from sculpting in pose.

The schedule:
Week 1: Proxy and beginning high res sculpt
Week 2: Finish high res sculpt
Week 3: Finish game res, UVs, first bake
Week 4: Texturing and final display

Portfolio 1 Week 4 Final Turn In

 

For the final week of turn in, I had catching up to do with finishing up my game res model before baking and texturing. This ended up of course taking up texturing time. Currently, I need to finish up with creating shading as the majority of line work has been done to create the comic look.

For the texturing process, I started by using AO bake information and applying gradient maps inside of photoshop to lay a foundation. Afterwards, I used Clip Studio Paint/3D Coat to draw on toon line details.

For the outer toon line, I used a flipped normals version of my mesh to cover the model. There is some fine tuning I still would like to do to keep it looking more organized.

For the eyes, I used cards as I originally needed a way to paint the pupil exactly the same by stacking them. However, I realized I didn't want the eyebrows, eyeshape, etc stacking as such I separated them and used them in symmetry in Clip Studio Paint. Regardless, having them as cards allowed me to give more resolution than painting directly on the face.

Sprint #2 Delivery

 

Portfolio 1 Week 3

 Unfortantely I am behind this week as I spent more time inside of Zbrush with my sculpt. Sculpting folds and such took longer than I had anticipated. I did learn to create custom IMM brushes for the squares on the pants and the round heart braids up top as I did not see any exisiting brushes that would fill that need.

I was able to begin retopology with game res, however it is unfinished and I will need to spend this week to catch up on it as well and do textures for it.

Sprint #1 Delivery Summer

    For this sprint, based on the feedback of the HUD we got last semester, which was it was a little disturbing or distracting. I am redesigning the HUD or UI for user experience and aesthic purposes. I used the Iron Man VR experiences as references and was able to improve and get some inspirations. For example, for it to not be disturbing the player during game, it should not be so appearent. So I turned down the opacity. 

Portfolio 1 Week 1

 

For this week, I started the project in Zbrush. The pose was hard to be 100% exact but I tried my best. When I was finally satifised with the pose, I started working on the close by masking the body parts and using dynamic subdivisions. I also messed around with the dynamic simulation to understand it more and see if it would get results I would want. It wasn't really needed, but it was a good experience learning about it more.

For the following week, I will sculpt folds into the clothes as well as sculpt the face and hair. For this week, the pants took a bit as well as I didn't realize I needed more thickness in the subtool in order to dynamesh it properly. I ended up using inflate before dynameshing again and then I zeremeshed for clean topology to sculpt with.

Portfolio 1 Week 0

 For my first portfolio piece I want to do Jolyne Cujoh from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure part 6, Stone Ocean. This is a screen shot from the opening. I am going to treat this project it like a figure bv handpainting the textures in 3D coat. The style will be 

I aleady gave found a lot of references imagines online to further help me have a understanding of all angles. 

During texturing I am going to handpaint the comic lines like the Telltales Games Batman game.

Here is my plan through out the project: 

Week 1: poxy and start high res

Week 2: finsh high res sculpt

Week 3: UV and game res 

Week 4: hand paint using 3D coat
