Games with Mayan

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 ...

After receiving valuable feed back from my classmates as well as my instructor. I had decided to work on it and had resubmitted the following trailer for a better grade. the changes i made were:  1. music trasnitions well towards the end. 2. few shots were replaced with better shots of different cars 3. introduction  shot of the police car, so that it doesnt feel out of place. 4. few better transitions  between some cuts

Hey every one so here it is! The trailer of our racing game. Its called Sophmore Spinout!!!!!!This trailer consist of the awesomest levels created by the GA class of 2017

For our programming class we are creating a retro game. The one that me and my team mate Danny choose is Pong. Looking at pong, one can assume that visually it has simplistic style. Since we have to create similar mechanics in the new Unreal Engine 4. I observed the above video to see what are the attributes and mechanics involved. There's one simple mechanic in pong  which is;  YOU as an individual has to win against your friend or rival. The game dictates that each player controls a  paddel and has to out maneuver  the other  by using startergies and wits.  the player to score 10 points first wins. Elements in Pong: If we convert the materials used in pong to  unreal engine, I could point out that using 2 physical materials 1 on the floor and other on the walls and  paddels, we can give the same effect as an actual pong. Programming aspect. The main programming aspect comes into play in the following : 1.Score counter...

For my inspiration for my level attract trailer. I researched  on several game play trailers and I found the one that I really liked, the main reason I find this trailer inspiring is because of the way the cameras are set up as they provide detail of the track and give a first hand experience of  playing  the game.                                       

For teh next step for creating the racing game, we have create a HUD for our vehicle. The first step to approach this is to see what kind of HUD would be suitable  for the car as well as the level. Based on these two elements, I researched on several different models of Jeeps and many SUVs. Following are  some results that i found for references. Being inspired by these, I mad a mock HUD concept. The concept is based on the theme of the level as well as the various HUDs that i looked up online,

For my programming class we have been focusing on making particles!  In the following video you will see the few familiar particles that are shown in UE4 tutorials  and My final sand storm particle that i made from scratch. as informed by the post below.
