Airship research - Environment Styles


At this point in my project, I have been looking at the different styles of modeling. I have been looking at games that have a similar or the same theme as what I wish to create. Games such as 'BioShock Infinite'.  This game displays the style of airship and environment I want to achieve within my project. In addition to this, I also have been looking at this game for its use of exterior movements, such as the engines and other mechanical pieces. I want to aim to create this idea because of its ability to create a fully immersive and realistic experience for the player. 

 The screenshots below are from the 'BioShock Infinite' trailer. The link is as follows: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQZd5jGWUOo
This is a screenshot from the 'Bioshock Infinite'  trailer. This will allow me to take ideas of the exterior views, the scenery, and landscape which can be viewed. In addition, the moving parts of the city are visible.

Another game that I have been looking at is 'Guns of Icarus Alliance'. I have been looking at this game because of its themes and styling I want to take notes of its environment scene and more importantly the use of texturing. This will be very useful for my own modeling ideas. 

  I have taken screenshots from the trailer for this game, the link for it is as follows: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOFImC_5-Mw
This is an image used by Playststaion to advertise the games. This is useful for me to gain an insight into the exterior texturing.

The third game which I have been looking at is 'The Order:1886'. This game, different from the others, will allow me to gain a good idea of the interior design and texture. The images below are taken from the environment artist's website.

This is one of the images displaying the interior modeling in the game 'The order:1886'. This is useful for me so I can gain ideas of interior lighting and texture of the control deck.

These games will be valuable in my research as well as allowing me to gain a clear insight into the use of texture, movement, and lighting which I can utilise in my modeling.

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.
