Super Smash Bros 4

Super Smash Bros 4 - Pac Man

The above game trailer is from the upcoming anticipated game Super Smash Bros 4. Playing super smash Bros for the past few years, I have come to love this game as it provides one of the best platforms to compete. I have chosen this specific trailer because they have introduces Pac Man, an iconic character that has been in the industries for years. Every genration of gamer has known about him since 1980s and has come to love the character. I for one was super excited about it when i first saw this trailer, because I wanted to see what would the developers have planned for the character that started it all.. Given the in game play action of this trailer, the developers have shown the different types of powers he has, from taking his well known form of a yellow ball to summoning other iconic characters to aid him to win. The rules of the game is simple, the winning condition is the winning character is shown in front with pride and satisfaction and the loosing condition is all the loosing team are shown in the back. Analyzing the trailer, it would be obvious as to why the developers are showing Pac Mans strengths. Its mainly because since they are introducing him it would not get the gamers exited if Pac man would only retain his original goal of eating dots and Cherries, which would typically not work well for the game. However, distinguishing between the Pac Man trailer versus numerous other ones, I believe that the developers have done justice in introducing an iconic character, as the above trailer gives the gamer enough information about the character such as, his strengths, his abilities and when he was first introduced to the industry.

Particles Refrence and Tutorial!!!!!!!!

Hey guys! For this post, I am excited to announce that I have been learning particles in Unreal Engine 4. And i have to say I have learned alot and enjoyed learning particle this far. When i first started learning them, I thought they would be complicated, but the statement prooved to be false and was surperised how easy it was to understand them and apply them. After practicing through the tutorials I have learned all the different types of particles, such as, emitter particle effects, HUD emitter particle effects, Mesh particles, Ribbon particles, animation curve particles. Anyway, continuing the current assignment, i had to do some research on what kind of a particle do I need to work on and how I can apply that to my other collaborative project of the racing level. And the answer to that was kinda obvious. since i wanted to have a sand storm in my level, I decided to peruse the sand storm effect. I looked at few real life references and few game ones....

Interactive realistic water ripple effect with dissolving material

By Mayank Babbar Introduction: The original aim of this project was to have interactive water ripples with the player or any moving mesh in 3D space. To achieve this goal, I subdivided this project into the following 4 phases: Research. Process. Progress. Execution. Each of the above phases were treated as calculated time sensitive variables and were executed within the give time frame. Following is my timeline for each phase. Week Number Dates Phases 1 3/31 - 4/4 Research 2 4/7 – 4/11 Process - Progress 3 4/14 – 4/18 Progress -Execution 4 4/21 – 4/25 Execution- complete 5 4/28 – 5/2 Submit Phase 1: Research In this phase I researched on many games characters moving through water mesh. I took references from the uncharted series, Tomb raider and others. After observing how water would react, I looked for tutorials online. They are as follows.

Exploding Barrels and Turrets

As i approached this assignment to make exploding barrels and turrets I was mainly inspired by Michel Bay. In the following video, You will see how the turrets detect the players location and aim the barrel basing on approximation of distance and weight Following are the series o of pictures that show how I created exploding barrels, Turrets and how they interact with the player Exploding Barrels : Component Editor As you can see In the component editor, I have the mesh, The sound The rout ( Sphere) and the particles for explosion and The particles for smoke. All of these components play an Important role in the graph editor. Graph Editor: Following is how I approached creating the exploding barrel as it interacts with the car. Devideing the smoke and the explosion into 2 different sections Note: For the smoke section: we connect the delay to the explosion section In the following continues only for the e...
