Driver / charecter

For our vehicle game, we were allowed to create a character that matched our car and perhaps our environment. For my character i based it off on traditional Arab men that drive tourist to desert safari in Dubai.. Having done research i soon realized that the clothing they wore was similar to what usually everyone wears in western countries (i.e. T shirt, jeans, Nike shoes) Having seen these, I started to think how could i get my character to stand out of the crowd, and at the same time have him blend with the environment and the car. Therefor. I researched on to how people from the Arab countries dressed in their traditional outfit.And after which i decided to fuse the two. As seen below.

Once the character design was ready. I started modeling the character using the bust provided by Ringling college of art and design instructors. Based on which I modeled my characters clothing. using paint polygon tools in maya. After which i had took him the model into z brush and added details such as folds . As seen below.

After creating my high poly , when I brought the character into maya, I realized that number of triangles, the high poly model had skyrocketed over the roof and had to figure out how to bring it down to the give triangle limit of 25000. My 3d instructor had guided me on how to get the limit down to 25000, by using Maya modeling tools that helped me get back to the limit. and following is the how my character looked. Even though he lost some details. I was pretty happy with him.

After which we were asked to had to texture him using substance painter. I do have to be honest that initially it was difficult to adapt to however once i got used to it. Its a pretty powerful software. Any ways following was the result.

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....

PONG - Aracade Hits

For my programming class we created PONG with a little bit of twist. We were paired in a team of two . and we assigned ourselves a role of a programmer and the other a role of of effects/ art. I had assumed of the former. My first goal was to make the game of pong look like an old school pong that people can relate to. There fore Black and white was the color scheme that i went with. My main goal was to focus on how effects as the effects would get the players more interested in our game. After creating the color scheme. I wanted to add a bit of the dramatic flare to it, thus i started making particle effects for the tail of the ball and the radial bursts. For the Trail. I applied a material with opeque properties and applies it into the cascade UI required module. Following are the values that i changed. I had also disabled velocity so that the trail would look seamless. And for the radial ...
