Unreal Engine Class (Complete)

Inca, a level design that base on Machu Picchu concept and mix with high tech alien equipment.

 

Unreal Engine Class (Process)

Ok, after using 3DS Max create all the props, now I will go to Unreal Tournament 3 Editor to set up my Level.

As below was the process of making this game, you may find it not so detail, I apologize here.
Anyway, hope you still can enjoy the fun of making game. ^^


All right, let's get down to the main business...

First, I create BSP model in UT3 Editor to run test the level.

At the same time, I also do create some material apply to BSP as a base.

Import all the Static Mesh (UT3 Editor call Props as static mesh), Texture and place it base on BSP.

Adding water volume to make the level more interesting.

Forget to tell, This is capture the flag game mode,  after place all the static mesh, add some light colour to differentiate the red and blue team.

Adjust all the light setting  to make a good mood and shadow in the level.

Start working on outdoor of the level, adding a platform on center not just can be a bridge and also create stunning visual.  

Refine both indoor and outdoor static mesh, light and material. 

Pathnode and some pickup is a  must in level, use some times to arrange it nicely.

Adding height fog, post process volume, block volume and a lot of enhance volume.Although you saw a lot of these effect appear half way before my level done, that's because I was trying to experiment some setting.

Unreal Engine Class (Extra)

When doing this project, I was very surprise that specular map and normal map is very very importance for game low poly model.

Why I say is importance, see it yourself. ^^

This is 3D model just apply a diffuse map, all light and shadow appear base on the low poly model shape.

After apply specular map, the highlight can differentiate which part shown and which part hide.

Apply a normal map will make a major difference, it can cause the plane texture have shadow.

Unreal Tournament 3 Level Props

Last update I mention about I rush for an academic game project and because of lost my hard disk, I need
to redo all my work for the level, character and weapon within 3 weeks time.. T.T

Anyway, here is the low poly props that I model and texture in 3DS Max.

As below is print screen from Max view port.
If you don't remember or don't know what's going on of this game project about, go here and here.

This is the total amount of props I create in this UT3 level, just that? So less? Yah, just this amount of props

will enough for me to complete design an outdoor and indoor level.

Tile able staircase.

Alliens technology appear in this level. ^^

Zbrush, Unreal Engine Class Character Sculpt

Will do the low poly version for Unreal Tournament 3 Character, but now just to show some high poly first. ^^

Some Old Stuff

It has been long time I din't update my blog, the reason why I din't update is cause of rushing my recent academic project Unreal Tournament 3.

It take me long time to finish and also I lost my hard disk at my classroom, so all the work I have to redo, what a sad story, anyway, I still haven't finish the project, but now I will still upload some of my old digital painting work. Enjoy^^

I always like their story and their characteristic also, and I will happy if I able to draw them once with my drawing style.

This is first time I draw character and background together, it take me 3 weeks to finish.... T.T

By the time I draw this is when I was very admire a China artist called Benjamin.

Ok, this is a past tense freelance job that I did for a so call animation company.

This job is share with my another 4 friend, and the pay rare was 1 complete model and texture is RM50.

The market price now is about RM500, so all I want to say is, student easily get cheated.

Unity 3D Class (Idea and Direction confirm)

This the second times of my unity game project presentation.
Here just show some update of the concept, the direction of art, and the rough sketch.

Unreal Engine Level Mock Up

This is the base level of my Unreal engine study class, I expand the width from the original design to make it

 look more like Machu Picchu and add on a flying platform to show the intelligence of Inca people.

Zbrush, Unreal Engine Class Character Sketch

I draw another version of b/w character to explore more idea.
In the end I try to use all the design idea that I explore and add it on final design.

Unity 3D Class (Propose Idea)

Unreal Engine Level Sketch

This is for the unreal tournament level design, and of cause my theme is inspire from the culture of Inca empire and the Indiana native.


After my research, I decide to use the Machu Picchu as my level design basic reference.

The is the floor plan of the level design, the level more focus on exterior, but the building have interior space that need me design later.

This is the exterior look of the level design building.

The Idea for Zbrush Character

In the end, I decide to do something related to Inca empire and Indiana Native culture.
This character costume seen old style, but his armor and the equipment he use is very hi-tech and full of intelligent.
Still rough here, need to polish up and do colour testing.
