Devlog 17 - Finish

 Seventeenth dev log for Production

What's been happening this week?

This week I have been setting up the animations and getting a FPS character into the room and doing my final checks around the place to make sure nothing has gone wrong and everything is ready for hand in.

For the animations I made so the bike in the room would spin, and the bikes outside would drive around



These came out super smooth but took me for ever to set up, the turning of the bikes on the road I wanted to be like the game/movie but making that look good is honestly really challenging. The flying ship was super easy to animate just took time getting the correct speed I wanted, it was either to fast or to slow but eventually I hit the sweet spot. That allowed for it to be seen but not for too long just like its flying. The cycle on the inside was super easy to make rotate because I just added an animation for it to rotate, split the bottom plate of the platform and made that spin at the same speed. This makes it look like there connected but there really not.  The FPS character I used was one from last year we got from lessons. 

Before making the final result I did many many zips around to make sure no material is missing or been deleted in the clean up. I found a few and just had to re add them it was nothing huge, just simple drag and drop fixes. I thin built the game and that's the end, one final test of the built game and everything went smoothly. Cant believe its over and iv created something I'm decently proud of. Some things still big me such as the fish animations I would have liked to do more but I don't have the time. 

Thoughts on Finish

Its over the game has been built and is about to be handed in its crazy the work I have done I feel is some of the best i can produce from what I have learned over the years, this was my first time ever modelling a city/room or even doing hard surface modelling. It was a completely different experience to modelling a humanoid or clothing which is my strong area. Its been a hard push the last few weeks getting it to look the best I can. Some things id like to improve on is time management sometimes the fly's by while I work and I forget to do things or I don't do it for a while and then I have to quickly finish something in a night. The water fall methodology helps with that but sometimes I miss something I shouldn't have.

Round up

This project has been an amazing experience and iv loved all of it. Doing something new is always a great experience, even lighting and postprocessing was fun. Iv learned a lot of what to do and not what to do. Last thing is my evaluations due in a week but that's less stress then this was. This has been a great experience Thank you!

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...
