Movement Within Film

Within my work, I want to incorporate moving parts. Such as cogs, large wheels, pipes, etc. Industrial mechanical environment features. I want to achieve this so I can create a fully immersive and exciting environment for the player to explore and work within.

I have been looking at films and how the CGI effects can be transferred into movement within a game.

'Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones' involves a scene that depicts a moving conveyor belt with many moving parts of machinery. I want to use these as inspirations because of the repetitive nature, not unlike an n airship the parts move to complete a sequence. This is something that I can utilise in my work.

The scene link is as follows :

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.

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’.

What will happen in the scene?

What will happen in the scene? In the first sense, there will be a car driving down with road, the camera will be showing off the car and the surrounding environment. There will be a train and other props in the environment which will be highlighted. Below is the list of props which will be in the environment. · Road · Telephone lines · Car · Ue4 set up · Train lines One of the key moments in the environment. The special movement will be the license plate spinning on the ground, this is just to add a bit of carter to the whole story and give the viewer more of an interest towards what is happing in the environment. This will happen when the car speeds off at the end of the road scene. The reason why I wanted t...
