Dev Log 1

This is my first dev log for Pre Production. 


What am I working on?

I will be designing and making a 3D environment in the style of Tron and cyberpunk combined. This allows for a great mix of ideas and designs but also being able to keep to the designs that people know and love about Tron and cyberpunk. There will be 2 Main scenes, A room and a City that can be viewed from the balcony of the room.

Who am I?

I am a 3D artist that works mainly on 3D character creation and clothing, I try to push myself to lean new skills and I learn new things every day. I want to make an environment to improve my hard surface modelling skills. I believe this is a great opportunity to do just that.

What have I done this week?

Today I started to set up my Trello bored with the necessary requirements I believe I need to complete my Pre Production.

I have set these up with specific labels to be able to clearly see what is what rather then trying to remember or even just guess. This keeps thing organised and allows me to work from the start "being Sketches" to the end "Being modelling" This helps a lot with work k flow and keeping things together.






I then decided to make a simplistic road map showing where I want to start and how I want to end. I wants to start with working on a design document to get my ideas flushed out this includes Sketches, list what i need (this being my trello bored) and a mood bored (above)

I began to collect images for my mood bored and research design ideas for the city that I want to do. These will be added to my pitch so that I can give people a better idea for what I want to make. 

Thoughts on progress
I feel like so far being the first dev log having trello up and running and getting a really good idea for what I want to make quite fast is really good progress. I feel sometimes my mind wanders when I make or write stuff down forgetting what I'm doing or loose track of where I am in a document is quite easy. I believe I haven't given myself to much work to do in the time frame that we have and don't believe scope creep will become a problem.
What's next?
After doing my presentation and getting my thought out and then getting feed back from them I can begin work on sketches and my be get simple block outs to flush my idea out better. Getting through a lot of sketches is very important to improve my idea.

Devlog 16 - Sprint 4

Sixteenth  dev log for Production What's been happening this week? Easter break happened between hear and now and I took a bit of time off for myself because i have a rough month coming up with all the work needing to be done. This week I worked on Texturing the room, setting the lighting up and shader setup.  Here is the textures of all the items added and even redid some original ones: Since i havent set up any lighting yet everything is quite dark, due to wanting to have a night time theme. The kettle and the toaster are made of metal and can be clearly seen they are with imperfections and reflections using matcaps for a better look. These were very simple to set up but had a few inverted faces I had to fix The knifes and the cutting bored were super easy to do due to separating the handle and blade into different materials, i then painted on the metal bots of the handle and were were good to go. I changed the colour of the wood for the kitchen to be darker because it just ...

 Second Dev log for Pre Production How was the pitch? The pitch went really well, I was able to get some really good feed back on my ideas. Helping me get better ideas then the original ones I had. Originally I was going to do quite a boring alleyway but now i see that I could do a whole street lit up and vibrant. What a much better idea! Everyone seemed to really enjoy mu idea of a city landscape environment with a room that you can walk around in. What have I been working on this week? This week I have been doing some sketches to widen my idea and get a better understanding of what I want out of this. I have mostly been working on building layout and the room setup. With some props thrown in there as well as some designs for the light cycle I want inside of the room. These are all early sketches for the layout of everything but its generally what im wanting it to look like. Thoughts on progress I think for the first week flushing out my idea is the best thing I can do before we g...

Devlog 12 - Sprint 2

Twelve dev log for Production What's been happening this week? This week i have been texturing the model I made last week and then implementing them into unity allowing me to test there lighting. Texturing them was quite easy to do, due to the way I unwrapped these. I have having issues with the kitchen wood texture but then I remembered the option called tri-plainer, I think it was called and it saved my life from struggle. It allowed the wood to wrap perfectly around and look realistic. after the week has past and looking back on these textures the kitchen ones are a bit to light for the rest of the environment so this is something that I'm going to have to change in the future. I took the feed back i got from sprint 1 and turn the feedback into reality making the tv stand less "boring" and "square" making it nice and curved and not just flat this turned out amazingly and love the new design. for the window having one big one instead of having loads of sma...
