Intro to my Work





From previously studying the BA (Hons) Course in Games Design at UCLan, I gained many valuable skills. Such as 3D modelling, knowledge of programmes (MAYA, UE4, substance design and ZBrush), character and environmental concept design. However, it is 3D modelling more specifically which I want to specialise in within my Masters, as I gained the most enjoyment and skill within the area.


I enjoy creating and modelling all variations of 3D concepts; however, I do enjoy modelling environmental scenes more. I find these are more enjoyable and I am able to create a world of my own choosing. For example, the styles which I enjoy are, Steampunk, post-apocalyptic, industrial etc. I enjoy these styles more so because they are more interesting and unique to create. Combining the past and the future is exciting to see while in both the modelling process and the finished product.  

At this moment in time, I am in the process of researching ideas which are all focused around the themes which I suggested earlier. (Steampunk, industrial concepts etc). The creation of scenes and props will be the main focus.



I will be taking inspiration from:
Films and television programmes such as ‘Mad Max’ ‘Sherlock Holmes’ ‘Peaky Blinders’
The derelict and isolated desert scenery as shown in 'Mad Max: Fury Road' (2015)

A still from the film 'Sherlock Holmes' (2006) - the industrialised features of the Victorian London skyline
A still from the television show, 'Peaky Blinders' (2013-Pres)





Games ‘BioShock infinite’ ‘Guns of Icarus Alliance’ ‘The Order:1886’
A still taken from the trailer for 'BioShock Inifnite" (2013)

An in-game still taken from the game 'BioShock Infinite' (2013)



A still taken from the game 'Guns of Icarus Alliance' (2012)
A still taken from the game 'Guns of Icarus Alliance' (2012)



A still showing the environmental scene of Paris in the game 'The Order: 1886"
A still showing the environmental scene of London in the game 'The Order: 1886"



Using these references, I hope to build an environment with rops and other objects which will move and create a living environment.  The industrialised scenes of the games shown above, 'Sherlock Holmes' and 'The Peaky Blinders' will be a major influence in my work, adding elements of steampunk later on in the process.

Maya Modelling

Maya modelling Throughout the project I have been using Maya to model all my assets. I have also use ideas created by artists as inspiration for this. https://www.artstation.com/artwork/v86vv https://www.artstation.com/artwork/OPQnk The process that I have taken has been to draw out sketches of the environment which I want to create. To achieve this, I did research to make sure at all of my ideas were in the same aesthetic. The reason that I did all this was to keep all my work as close to contexts as possible and to have the same theme as ‘steampunk’.

maya modeling

Throughout the project, I wanted to create a Steam Train from the 19th-century era. from the designs and the research, I knew what I wanted to design. I feel like I have improved a lot throughout the project and have developed the modelling. below is the final of the train With the issues of the animation and the modelling what very rushed at the end of the semester to get it all done. For the next project, I want to focus on the moulding and the texturing for the project then add movement in towards the end, this is because ill will have finished work.

Lighting

Lighting  I have used lighting within my project to achieve an authentic and realistic setting from the perspective of the player. Looking at the references by artists, I have focused on recreating these ideas. I have done research on how to maximise lighting in UE4 without overcrowding the scene. I felt that this is the best route to follow. The first thing was the lighting points, in this case, they were the fixtures. After this, I placed some subtle lights down the walls and looked at the overall environment to see if I was gaining maximum realism. Making sure that my placement of these lights was as realistic as possible.  I spent time finding a tutorial online, which showed me some new pointers on how to use lighting in various different ways to what I originally intended. This was useful in maximising the realism of the environment scene.
