Dev Log 4

 Forth dev log for Pre Production


What's been going on this week?

This week i have been working on a better room layout and and more exploration in the layout of the city. With some more defined concepts for the Light cycle.


I looked at the original room set up and through what is wrong about it and tried improving on it to a point were this is somewhere id want to live. I removed the single counted and replaced the whole corner to be for the kitchen which I think looks better for breaking up the room. I shrunk the bed and the bath room to make space for some shelves and an extra door because my previous designs I forgot I wanted a place for the bike to live. I added a lot of shelving area so i can fill up the room and make it look fuller rather then being empty.
I have then desired to do some more looks at what I can make the simple street into adding items to the roof and adding alleyways in the middle. I personally think the alleyways make it look more open and better over all. The things on the roof isn't bad but ill have to see how it is when it actually comes to modelling it. especially since I don't want to be able to see over the top of the buildings so it could just waste polygons.
I have then decided to design the bike they way I want it to be. I have went with the more retro looking design for the Light Cycle this is because to me it looks better and has a better look when it is static. Since this is going to be something you can look at I want there to feel like there is a story to it. so i have added some "gang" markings on to it making it look unique with in this world. The bottom image is the finalised design that i have went for, its sleek but has its own flair too it.

Thoughts on progress
I think I have really looked into my designs and reworked them to fit my style and needs. Looking back on my work and its improved so much with getting the design to look like the room is broken up and not just all in one. having an actual set up make the room and city just pop more in imagination.  If i was to do it again I would draw a bit neater to get a more defined look at each design rather then having quite rough looking sketches.

What's next?
Next week i want to start modelling the bike to at least get a rough idea. Show it to the class next week for the presentation. This allows me to get feed back on my work and improve it more. Doing more sketches is also what i want to do get a finalised design for the room and street exactly how I want it.

Dev Log 8

Eighth dev log for Pre Production What's been happening this week? This week i have been looking at what needs done and completing everything that I believe is needed for Pre Production. most of my models should be made in production due to them being super simplistic and the big thing is the models for the actually room and city. I have been working on models and textures for Books, Light cycle, Speaker, Fire place, Candles, Cup, and the enemy ship. Some of these have textures some do not. i wanted to leave most of the texturing for Production. Here is the city block out that i did. It in UV mode because its really hard to show off in any other mode. This is to scale same as the room and is also perfect to what I'm looking for as a plane street. i think it came out great. This is the enemy ship that is from Tron I based my design off of it but I made it my own by making not as detailed due to it being in the distance rather then being up-close th...

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...

Dev log 7

Seventh  dev log for Pre Production What's been happening this week? This week I have been working on a final block out for the room inertia getting that finalised and also doing some more drawings for items that will go inside of the room. This is the room block out to scale about how i want it. this allowed me to see there's things I need to do differently when it comes to making the actual room. When creating this block out I did it all on one shape/mesh so it took ages to make the shelves which is such a waste of time I could just make them and copy paste them around the room rather then making full new ones over and over. I have also done a lot of sketches to catch up before the Christmas break so I can have a little bit of a rest. These are sketches for NEON signs, Guns ,Shelf trinkets and a sink. These are items are all to go inside except for the sideways signs they would hang off buildings outside to show what the shop is. The guns im kind of happy with because they ar...
