Busy busy busy. Part 2.

Hello again! I recently lost all of my Maya/Blender projects because a) my computer sucks and b) I was an idiot and didn't double check to see if I had backed up my projects. Nevertheless, lesson learned. However, I have since discovered that while I had been steadily improving, since getting everything back up and running (and being in possession of a 2TB hard drive for backup), I have cut my work time on Maya dramatically. I have just restarted a lost project (my Chaos Bike) and not only does it look a thousand times better, the individual pieces are taking a fraction of the time to re-create. For example, I created the engine block today: before it took me around two to three hours to complete. Today? Half an hour. Needless to say, I'm super chuffed with this and determined to have this completed by weeks end, I'm also beginning to play with human features and created my first skull. While the skull doesn't look amazing at the moment, I'm sure I'll improve quickly (I'll upload a comparison when it's finished).

Anyway, I'm getting a little side tracked, while I have been utilizing Maya again, I've also been taking quite a few photos while out on trips with the kids at my Early Childhood Centre and on the way to and from work:


These bonfire pictures were taken on a trip with the kids from my Early Childhood Centre. I just love how the flames are constantly changing:


A few days ago we had a really intense mist cover a very large area of our town. Now this may be a common occurance for some, but here, it's a very rare occurrence so I decided to take a few photos:




Now this photo I'm quite proud of: I love it simply because the cloud formation is so different. I like to imagine it as some sort of futuristic star ship descending from the earths atmosphere.

World design in Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice

Image
Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice is a game set inside the mind of a Celtic warrior and depicts her struggle with psychosis. As the theme hints, the game is rather dark and filled with Viking style ruins and buildings and depicts many forested areas in keeping with Celtic and Viking tradition. Because we are inside the mind of Senua (the main character) there is a wonderfully crafted and unique setting that shifts and changes as Senua traverses her environment. Elements from her reality and her mind clash as the player progresses giving unique and interesting ways to solve puzzles. The world leans toward a linear approach in its exploration, with the player being able to progress in one direction most of the time. Levels can be confusing at times as there is no minimap or map in general for the player to gain reference, simply the players own sense of direction. This is a great break away from the overreliance on such methods in modern games and I feel that if Ninja Theory had im...

Kairo and Abstract Art

Image
After playing through Kairo (Richard Perrin, October 2012) I found that while it lacked a lot in gameplay (it was extremely confusing at some points and way too simple in others) some of the shapes I actually found quite pleasing. The sheer variety of abstract shapes that the creator managed to achieve with simple cubes was very surprising. However, in terms of abstraction I honestly believe Kairo represents abstract art quite successfully. All of the levels use minimalistic shapes to convey an idea or image of something recognisable to the player. One such example is the level in which the player finds themselves in a garden type area with trees made of intermittently placed cubes. Image retrieved from: http://www.electrondance.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/kairo-garden-crazy-theory.jpg This level alone shows what can be created purely just by using cubes and while some of the objects of the objects can be hard to read or interpret, the skill of which they have bee...

Baked Lighting in Unreal

Image
This blog post will revolve around using baked lighting in Unreal engine 4 to create an interesting scene from purely grey materials. This exercise was a lot of fun and taught me a lot about how to utilise baked light maps from maya to give more detailed lighting on objects. I also leaned a fair amount about the lighting in Unreal such as using a plane in conjunction with a spotlight to reflect color onto an object from outside the scene. Here are some examples: This is the basic assets with no changes to lighting: This is where the light source has been changed to static. As you can see it gives a much darker appearance: Here I have increased the resolution of the baked light map to make it more detailed so the light can catch on more areas: In this shot I have placed a flat plane outside the widow with a spotlight facing it to reflect back some color and stronger light: And in the final shot I have added some color to the light source, some blue...
