3DArt W6HW_Simple Crate and Barrel_Part Two

By importing the work from Simple Crate and Barrel_Part One into ZBrush, I was able to add details by sculpting over it.

To simplify my workflow in the future, I set it up with an ID map.

After that, I brought this model into Maya and built a game-res mesh for it.

Next step will be the UVs

Finally, I baked all the maps onto this game-res model in Substance.

Tech Art W6HW_Game Animation

First, I imported two skeletal mesh assets: one from the previous rigging assignment, and the other from Mixamo.

After that, I created a ROM animation to demonstrate how the joints work, and imported it along with another animation I found on Mixamo.

By setting up solvers and assigning them the correct IK goals and roots, I was able to retarget the animations onto each other.

Finally, I added an additional "Wave" animation to the skeletal mesh from the previous assignment. The following shows how they look together as a whole.

Final outcome:

  First, I found references of different Greek vases and patterns:

Then, I modeled the vase based on an Apulian amphora:

After that, I rendered out the beauty, normal, and ID passes to use in Photoshop for post-processing:

Finally, I added some details and highlights to emphasize the shapes:

Tech Art_W5HW_Basic Rigging

 I initially skin the whloe model in one piece, but soon finds out that there are a lot of points hidden behind different meshes. This makes weight painting almost impossible.

By separating this model into different layers from inside to outside, I am able to make sure all meshes have proper weights.

After I have finished, I add controllers to complete this simple FK.

Update: I have added the clavicle controls:

 

All the relavant directory structure:

3DArt W5HW_Simple Crate and Barrel_Part One

 Step one: Build a proxy shape of the crate.

  Then: create a pattern using simple boxes; use the Boolean tool to carve out basic shapes; bevel and reposition the shapes to build the look of the crate.

 Here's The final Outcome:

TA_W4_HW_Intro to Blueprints

Scope: I plan to make a simple FPS game setup. When G key is pressed, draw a line trace from camera. When the trace hits the target, the target will then starts to dissolve.

Step one: Build the scene

Step two: Set up overlap event, enemy spawn

Step three: Set up Dynamic material / dissolve

Final step: Set up line trace when G key is pressed, when enemy is hit, it starts to dissolve.
