UE4 setup for the Spline Mesh

Spline Mesh

At first, I sated with using a spline mesh to control the steam train. it started alright but after I got deeper into the project I started to struggle with it and couldn't find any help online to resolve the problems. The main issues were getting the animation to work, I just didn’t have time to find a solution before the deadline so I reverted with an essayer solution which I used before. This was a sequence and I fond it to be a lot easier to get what I wanter but that when I was getting the to problems with the particles won't work so I put out of the project so I had some to hand in.

Rigging

Rigging Alongside the animations, I have used rigging in Maya. Rather than just using the more simplistic animations, rigging allows me to create more realistic movements. For example, chains and belts. I have gained knowledge of how to use pully belts as a rig effectively, as well as creating smooth transitions for the pully belt moving around the wheels. I felt it best to prioritise this transition as it would effectively create a juddered game experience for the player if it was not smooth. I found that while doing this process, I found it easy enough to grasp the main concept of it, however further on into the more complex issues, I found it more difficult to grasp. It has been a slow learning experience as there are so many options for adjustments within the rigging process.

Car dashboard

Car dashboard In between the first and the second cut scene, there will be a couple of shoots which will be the dashboard of the car. The dash dashboard will show the car spend and the rest below is an example of what the view will see the purpose is to show more detail and movement in the video for the end experience. And some station shots to mix up the footage. After researching car chases sense in films they all ways how the inside of the cars or the dashboard, this is because it keeps the point of forces of what’s happing and changers it over standard outside shots, this keeps the action up to and the view more entailed in the what’s happing or what’s going to happen. A good example of this is a film called Baby Driver From Baby driver, I notice that you can show the viewer a lot of information in a very short period which makes sense. In the opening scene, it shows what the action which the driver is going to do before it happens. Below I have taken screen sh...

First cut scene

Semester 3 overall First cut scene -what is in the scene? · Road · Telephone lines · Car · Train lines · Foliage… Grass, Bushes, Wheat, tress The special movement will be the license plate spinning on the ground Second cut scene · Train · Train crossing The special movement will be the car getting nearly getting hit by the train Throughout the end experience, I looked at how I can present the result this was for a couple of reasons. Firstly, how to present my work in the format that I wanted to show the viewer the action and how to keep the audience engage with during the video. I looked at how movies did this in car chases in film and ...
