Animation


Animation



 In the project, I have aimed to use moving parts as a focal point. I have used Maya to achieve the movement.




The reason why I have chosen to incorporate movement is to create a more immersive experience for the player.



I am hoping that these animations really bring together the scene which I am working on, however, I have hit a few issues within the process. although the general process of animation was simple enough the grasp, I had hit a few problems when applying it. The importing of a single animation would cause no issues, however, when a second animation was imported from UE4, this would cause one or both to break. This has been difficult to fix but I am hopeful that the outcome is effective from the player perspective.

Texturing

For the texturing I used substance painter, as I said in ‘Ovreveiw of the project and what I struggle with!’ blog. I was having a lot of problems of importing the animation into UE4 which took a lot of time out for my project. Finally, I found the solution to the problems and was working correctly but once I started to add the textures to the meshes another problem started, the modules in ue4 didn’t have the corrector textures allocated to meshes so I had to redo this again. After fixing the problem in Maya with the meshes having the right textures, I had the same issues first time round of importing them in ue4. I could add the mesh and the texture but there was no animation. I ran out of time in the project so I put the working animation as this the target for the project but that’s why the texture are just one strand colour.

The road

The road For the road I researched as I wanted to keep it all in theme, this led me to choose between a busy highway or side county road. As the project was set in outside of the town, I chose to have a county road as there is a lot of carter within them and I will be able to factor that into the end video. Below is the picture that I took inspiration from. From this, I could use for a reference point and be able to mould the road for the environment The telephone lines As the first part was set on the road, I wanted the have more realism in the environment. I started to research what other models I could use as a backdrop and content which I could use for the video     The car and why I chose it.   For the sense and the environment, I decided to have the car as 1974 Dodge Monaco front, this is because it fits the time frame and the location of the environment which is America. Another reason why I picked it was that it’s an ironic car from the film Blue...

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’.
