the particles which i made

I made a steam particle for the train in ue4, the reason that I wanted to add it is that it will give life the environment. When I want trying the get the steam train to move in UE4 I was having trouble to for the particles to stay with the train and I didn’t know how to fix it so that why in the final video there is no particle, for the next project I would like to do more research and try the fix this as it overall improved the experience of the environment.

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.

Texturing

Texturing Up to this point, I used Substance Painter to achieve the texturing in my project. The reason why I used substance painter is that I have found that it has a simpler work-flow which works for me to get the best outcome. Another reason why I used substance painter is that I wanted my project to be as realistic as possible, something which I have struggled to gain in other programmes such as Adobe Photoshop (Hand Painting). Screenshot displaying the editing process within Substance Painter This is an in-game image from the game ' The Order:1886'. This displays the effect and the texturing style I am striving for within my own work. This style sticks to the steampunk idea as well as the realistic style I am wanting to achieve. All of which are in the aim to complete an immersive game experience.
