Dev Log 3

 Third dev log for Pre Production


What's been going on this week?

This week has been about expanding my idea further, getting a rough idea for the shape I wanted I decided to do a very rough block out of the city and the room itself.


This is the city rough block out and you can see its not to scale in the slightest but the idea is there in visual form and can be very easily visualised as a final piece. The road feels a bit empty so perhaps adding some alleyways in the middle to open things up might be a good idea. 

This is the room rough block out and you can see it docent look the best and isn't very well proportioned. This helped me understand that I needed to work on how the room would look because this was so bland and empty nothing really stood out and needed a redesign. All the proportions were just wrong and things didn't make since like why is the bathroom so big? why is there a closet in the kitchen? such a weird design. This will be redesigned next week.
Sprint 1
This week was Sprint one. The way I do sprints isn't conventional, I look at my back log pick some things I want to work on and write them down after I complete them. This means I'm not giving myself to much work and I can just pick things up where I feel I can.








I also worked on some more sketches during this week of props around the room This includes candles, Books, Fishes , PC setup and a TV



These are items I want scattered around the room to make the room feel more full and alive rather then being baron. But there has to be a good balance other wise the room will feel to cluttered and full over run by chaos. I also want the books to be different textures to feel like there not just the same over and over again making sure that they wont have the same paten in the same order everywhere.

Thoughts on progress

I think my progress this week has been really good. I have taken more time with my drawings at least some of them. I also was able to get a block out done of both the city and the room this makes for a much easier understanding of my vision and understanding of what things need to look like. This has also helped me understand I need to work more on my design for both. If i was to do this part again i would do the block outs to scale. Sure its a rough block out but its still hard to grasp the size when not doing it to scale as you can see from the size of the bath room.

What's next?

 I want to work more on my designs and layouts for the room, the city and the bike. Flush them out and remove anything that is bad or something  just docent feel right. Experiment and find what I like.

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...
