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.

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...

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.

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 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzWyLDQvKng&t=1s A screenshot Add caption
