Weekly Blog 1 : Planning

    For this semester, my goal is to make a strong portfolio for working on the video game company. I am going to graduate on this semester and this semester is a final semester that I can create student portfolio. 
    My second goal is to finish up my work with following a plan. During a previous semester, to be honest, I cannot say that I could follow a plan. Through this project, I'd like to learn how to make a good progress.

1st Option (Preferred)
Since a beginning of August, I've been working on my personal portfolio. That is a 3D environmental art which is based on my home city in Japan, existing city. 


I was planning to finish up this portfolio when I finished up the square before the station in my home town. But, if this plan can be a senior portfolio, I'd like to expand the area and props to create. 

Timeline

Week 1 & 2
・Decide how much I will expand
・Decide the angle and area to render
・Keep working on modeling & UV

Week 3 & 4
・Modeling in a square area
- if possible, finish up, then check that there's other things need to be modeled

Week 5 & 6
・Modeling and UV 2 existing monuments in ZBrush, retopology in Maya
・Finish up the modeling and UV in a square area
・Start working on the other area

Week 7 & 8
・Modeling 

Week 9 & 10
・Finish modeling and UV

Week 11 & 12
・Texturing a half

Week 13 & 14
・Texturing for render in Unreal Engine
・As soon as it'll be over, export to Unreal Engine and set up a texture node

Week 15
・Set up a wireframe material
・Rendering both of final rendering and wireframe rendering
・Present my work in the class


2nd Option
I am planning to create a modular set of restaurant (diner) which seems to be on free way in country side. If I make a game with this, I'd like to make a simulator game (first person view) to run the restaurant. It won't be too much volume and I thought that this is suitable to this 15 weeks range. 





Timeline

Week 1 & 2
・Collect references as well as possible
・To list things and props to put in a scene
・Make a rough concept design art
・Start modeling

Week 3 & 4
・Modeling walls, floors, ceilings, and other things which will be base of the scene
・Check the scale carefully with checking references

Week 5 & 6
・Modeling props, tables, chairs, and other kitchen stuff
・Start modeling from necessary things

Week 7 & 8
・Modeling and UV
・If they will be finished soon, start modeling cars and plants as needed

Week 9 & 10
・Finish modeling and UV

Week 11 & 12
・Texturing a half

Week 13 & 14
・Texturing for render in Unreal Engine
・As soon as it'll be over, export to Unreal Engine and set up a texture node

Week 15
・Set up a wireframe material
・Rendering both of final rendering and wireframe rendering
・Present my work in the class

Week5 Sprint

For this week, I was working on this texture There are two models for the ramp This is a scrolling script float offsetX, offsetY, realtime; new Vector2 origin; public float speed = 1; // make it -0.1 in Unity public double rooptime = 3.9; void Start() { offsetX = this.GetComponent<Renderer>().material.mainTextureOffset.x; offsetY = this.GetComponent<Renderer>().material.mainTextureOffset.y; origin = new Vector2(offsetX, offsetY); } void Update() { realtime += Time.deltaTime; offsetY = realtime * speed; this.GetComponent<Renderer>().material.mainTextureOffset = new Vector2(offsetX, offsetY); if(realtime > rooptime) { realtime = 0; } } I made transparent area and place UV of ramp top, and this is albedo texture map. UV of Ramp Top moves from top to bottom

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
