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.

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’.

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.
