Devlog 13

 Thirteenth dev log for Production

What's been happening this week?

This week i made progress in the city creating the buildings, street and street lamps!

Building A is very simple with a few window and shops own at the bottom, this look very much fits the theme I'm looking for as is also something that you'd find in a universe like this. This is meant to be a modular system so I can have a few of these and it wouldn't just look like a dupe.


Building B is the same design at A but with some changes, different shop placement, a billboard in it and the windows in different places. This allows for both building to be places down but bot just look like the same building it adds variety with the addition of having a sign on it that I can change the texture of so its not just the same one everywhere. The look of these two buildings was made with extruding and bevelling giving a metal look but also roundish. I think both of these buildings turned out amazingly.


The light needed to be simplistic and not to high in polys because I want there to be a lot of them. making the street look full due to the lights, like a real future city scene. The modelling was super simple for this mostly just extruding and scaling.


This is the original layout for the city, in my designs it made since because its 2D but in 3D its so empty and where your going to be standing at the top of this image you'd be able to see the void so I
had to rectify this by adding longs streets and more buildings.




After adding the side buildings I was staring to look so much better it looked like an actual city rather then just being a street. This made the world feel more alive and vibrant rather then just being 4 buildings and being able to see into the void, this allow will allow for better animations, making the vehicles be able to go around the corner out of site to reset. as well as obscure the flying ship when it fly's over and resets.

Thoughts on progress

The progress this week has been really good, it has allowed me to work on my hard surface modelling skills and I feel its improved since Pre-Production. I do feel like I could have done a little bit more but it can always make up for it next week.

Next Work Session

I will be doing the end buildings, Neon lights, Textures, Putting this into unity, Post processing and lighting, possibly particles. Lots to do.

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...

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...
