The reason behind the project and the design progress

What will happening in the sence?

In the scene, there will be a lot of moving parts but not just the wheels and the piston which is driving the train down the rails. There will be cogs and other pistons which you will be able to see on the train.

The idea is going to be that the top of the train will be the drive element which the train will get its movment from. This will be the same design as trains are but it will be fliped because its a monorails style. Also the coal carriage will be able to look down in them, will show the scale of the train. The main reason why i wanted too have the cola carriage open because i want you to be able to see whats happening on board of the train. When you look from above you will be coal being transfed by converybelt.

Below is the design which I want to achieve in this project. I'll be focusing on the drive movement before tacting the train and the cold bunker... after this ill be to add the pages charger to the environment scene which will complete which I want to complete.

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’.

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.
