Weekly Blog 2 : Bridge design exploration 【CAGD 495】

Before working on the next object, I completely misunderstood the concept of the bridge. I thought that my idea was passed and I could follow it, but other teammates wanted a different design for the bridge. So, I recreated it by following the gate which was created by another teammate. For this time, I think my new bridge idea was passed.

 
 For the bridge support, I designed its shape to reflect the idea of other teammates, and used the Smooth Mesh Preview tool to create its shape.
While editing mesh after conversion preview to mesh, I realized that it'll be hard to edit a sharp edge. To avoid this problem I thought that I needed more edges BEFORE conversion to mesh. I can decrease edges anytime I want, but It is hard to add extra edges after conversion. Edge loops after conversion has a possibility that it will make extra edges which are no longer needed. I tried to make the surface smooth as well as possible, but some vertex on the surface is still in my mind. I created 1 side first, duplicated it, and merged.



For the main bridge part, I also reflected the ideas of other teammates and created its shape. General working flow is the same as the bridge support. I am working in progress on the crossroad and thinking what kind of shape or monument fits.

For the bottom part, I added because the bridge will look more powerful.

I was especially focusing on the shape of the border of the needle part and the bridge part. This part is the most that its shape was changed after conversion to meshes. Making on the reflection, I increased the edges before conversion. So I could change its shape easily and nicely.

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...
