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 brothers which one of my movies I took notes and interest from… the style and how they used the if in the film was union and I wanted that in my project too.

Although I will not be using it as a police car in my project, in my project I want a classic car which fit the environment and the age of which I am setting the project.

 

The reference which inspired me

 

Below is a couple of images which I use to help me model the car and use it as a reference point towards my project 




  





 

Form this I was able to model the car for the environment. below are some photos from the finished model before I textured.

 

 

Next was the texturing, I used substance painter to complete the model. When I was in the progress, I found it hard to create and colour which worked as car paint, I messed around with different rough and metal to fine the right constantly which I wanted. From the substance viewer to the ue4 there is a lot a big difference which I notice when developing. I ended up going backwards and forwards to find the right balance which worked with the rest of the environment.  

Below is the result for the road and car.

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 I notice that you try and use the environment as much as possible. Following the terrain, seems to make it smooth and flowing through the environment and it shows off where is it set. Secondly using the body lines on the car and getting the movement of the curves. Using the camera and fol

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.

Environments : The process of creating my scene.

Environments Through the process of researching and designing the environment, I first started by looking at a similar scenes which featured the steampunk style. Below are some examples of the work I looked at, https://www.artst a tion.com/artwork / XwRrn https://www.artstation.com/artwork/EVGWn8 The pictures above are some examples of artists work. I have used these to help me along as it gives me insight into the gaming industry and more specifically what they are currently creating at the moment, following on I will attempt to use some of these sources to influence and inspire my own work. I have found environments through my research, examples which can be seen in games such as ‘the order’ and ‘Guns of Icarus Alliance’. These games fit into a very similar genre and aesthetic as how I want to take my project. Taking note on how these levels and the environment are made and the layout of the room. I have been separating these environ
