Sprint 3 CAGD 495

 



    In this sprint, I was taking a long time to create the sky panorama image. I was working on Photoshop to paint images and make it as panorama. It was first time to use 3D system in Photoshop, so it took time to learn how to use it. I tried 3 new images and some did not work because of Memory storage problem. 3D system in photoshop takes up most of spaces of memory, usage will be easily full in 16GB. I think it requires at least 32 GB to process correctly.
    When I begun my work on the sky, I did not know that the sky should be purple. So I change Hue and painted new cloud. This is the reason why the ground looks like a green. I understood that getting confirmation before working on is really important when the producer did not describe it in details.
    It was also important to check the output should look like in Unity. When I tried to make the sky by spherical panorama, there's always a dark spot on above and the border of sky image was too clear. To solve this problem, I was looking at the format of other sky models. They are used to be created as skybox/Cubemap with cubic map image. It was a solution to solve problems from spherical panorama sky. There's no dark spot and border after changing format to Cubemap and Skybox/cubemap.
    It is not hard to change spherical skybox material to Cubemap skybox material. You just need to change attached image to Cubemap with right click, and attach it with skybox/Cubemap.

    Inside of Photoshop, it is little bit complicated to use 3D.  It is also the reason that there's no specific tutorial on the newest version. Photoshop can make just 1 layer to 3D, panorama image. So you are required to combine layers before making it 3D. After making 3D, top and bottom part is shrink because top and bottom line will be gathered on 1 point. But don't worry, you can edit image in 3D space and will be output naturally. As you can see the stretched cloud on the top image, it will be natural in 3D environment and look correctly. If memory slot is not enough on your computer, it take a long time to process reflecting your drawing and change point of view.
    When you are done, you can export it your spherical panorama (at this point, you do not have to mind that your image is categorized as spherical panorama). 3D>spherical panorama>export. You cannot export it in high resolution in panorama image, at least I could not change a resolution. Output image will be like my first image, top part of image is stretched, like a territory of Russia and South pole continent are stretched when you see a world flat map.

    In other work, I was working on redoing landing sound. Sound sample I created does not work well, so I recorded and edited it.
    Right now, I am working on placing props and enemies on the map. We do not use terrain object on this project, so I am planning to use polybrush.

Sprint 2 CAGD 495

  I was working on creating SE. I used SWave, old and free software which was created by Japanese, so it's displaying Japanese texts on each tab. I created sound with changing the shape of wave, especially changing the shape of each cycle, pitch shift, and volume. There are several track and I can mix them up to one sound effect. After that, I edited it in Wondershare Filmora. I removed noise, edited with quick equalizer tool, and added filter,  I made second dig sound with recording real sound and editing it. Jumping sound Digging sound Collecting sound Select menu I was also working on the placing props in Unity scene and general mapping of collective items This placement is just temporal for the prototype, so I'll fix them later. I focused on the LOD when I placed them.  There is no low poly model (according to a producer, she does not plan to make it), so I edited vanishing distance of objects.

Sprint 5 CAGD 495

 For this sprint, I created 2 short loop sounds and 1 long loop sound. I took 1 week for creating a below audio. General process is same as a previous work of Whoosh, but I combined 2 audio sources, twinkle and wind sound. Icy spell sound In other week, I made Shadow spell sound and river stream sound Shadow spell sound River stream sound I left same explanation on my card, but I'll leave it here too. I was thinking that the audio source will be stick on the particle object and loopable because the audio will be back to the beginning when player fires the spell in short span. If the other sound is triggered during a first sound is playing, a sound will be unnatural. To avoid this, I thought an audio source will be attached in the particle prefab and is not involved in the other spell. The audio sounds differently if I created a completed whole sound track of the spell. If loopable, sound volume will decrease by spatial sound and sounds natural. I was also working on the creating o

Game Scene Final Project Post

  Final Post This project is “Animal Crossing track in Mario Kart 8”.  For this project, I was joining the final project as 3D modeler, texture artist, UI designer, programmer, VFX artist, and Audio environment designer. Through this project, I was always focusing on the exporting format. I focused on exporting the fbx file with triangulated and mesh combined. When I shared my work, I uploaded the Unity package with prefabs of textured 3D objects to make importing easier. I think I did many various things in this project. I was especially working hard on VFX because I only had a short experience of designing particle systems. I studied a particle system in Unity for this project and succeeded in creating good VFXs. When I created spark particles, I referred to an online tutorial. However, when I created a boost particle, I made an original particle and I believe that the spark tutorial was helpful to understand the particle system.  The other thing I challenged is a scrolling textu
