Gamers and Inspiration

The above works are the copy righted works of Ricardo Bonisili. Ricardo, is a good friend of mine who currently works in both the Film and Game industry as a modeler. I have chosen his works because to me his works are works of inspiration and pushes me to perform better in my own work. I had known him Ever since I attended Vancouver Film School, where I was studying animation. As a friend he always had provided me with good constructive criticism, as an artist he showed me some tools that I had not known about at the time and as an inspiration he would always show me what assignments he would work on and how he approached to solve a particular issue.The third Image from above was taken as a screen shot of his demo reel by the time he passed out of art school. His methodology as per me were broken down into the following; Step1. Shapes; Step 2. Silhouette; Step 3.Texturing and UVs; Step 4. Lighting. Following these steps make look simple , but are time consuming to follow, yet he has mastered them in a fashion that he is able to complete any task following these steps in half the time it takes others to complete. His attention to detail is one of the few factors that make him an inspiration to me. And his experimenting with lighting style gives him an upped had to be more than just a modeler but also a lighter. Due to his ability to adapt and learn in the industry, he has played various role in modeling and lighting in various projects, such as X Men: The Days of Future Past; Enders Game; Jack the Giant Slayer and Assassins Creed Revelations.

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...
