Module 3 - Week 10 Game Resolution/UV’s and First Bake

 I was able to create my game res this week after making changes to my sculpt. I was able to fix my wings from looking like a comb as well add additional details. My final polycount ended up being 14k and I could go lower if I optimized my wings more. I still need to do my UVs, but I did a test bake with auto UVs to see how things turn out. I will use the bake as a guide to help with handpainting.

Sprint #5 Delivery

 

For this sprint, I modified the factory wall a second time to make it fit the concept better. I also made the hallway floors, hallway ceiling and hallway walls.

Module 3 preplanning organic creature

 For this module we are doing a organic creature. I am planning to do Pet Shop from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. He is a badass Eagle. I am planing to hand paint the textures for the first time, by doing that I am going to learn 3D coat by watching tutorials from the amazing artist. (linked below)

Sprint #4 Delivery, Asset/Feature Complete

This week I worked on three more assets in the factory, it's the ceiling, the wall and the floor. There is not a clear concept in the Metroid art book, so according to my project lead, I have to make some improvise. I also looked up references from other factory environments as references and I was satisfied with what I have made.

Module 2 - Week 05 High Resolution Meshing Part 2

This week, I finished up creating my high res of my nerf gun with Zbrush. I still need to add the logos on my gun.

 

Module 2 - Week 04 Proxy Mesh and Start High Resolution Meshing Part 1

 This week I chose this nerf gun as my reference, I took pictures from all angles so I could have a better understand of the shape. I modeled the proxy in Maya and render in Arnold, I used a area light, a point light, a sky dome light and the infinity wall when rendering.
