Weekly Blog 4 : Texturing Bridge [CAGD 495]

 This week, I was working on texturing the bridge. I was especially focusing on the height and normal map. While I was modeling bricks, I had a problem that the borders of UV shells are emphasized and can see the mesh borders. This problem happened because of the “height to normal” filter. I was generating bricks with a height map and tried to make it normal. However, we will export and render in Unreal Engine, so I noticed that it is not necessary to export everything in a normal map and deleted that filter.

To avoid that problem, I also changed the texture layer for the top of the pillar. The side texture was fine but it is Tri-planar projection, but the top should be planar projection.

For the metal part, I used both a metal edge generator and roughness grunge map to express a more realistic surface. 

For the brick on the road, first, I generated it in Substance Sampler and exported it to the painter. While I painted them by selecting polygons, the borders of crossing points looked cutted out at 45 degrees and did not look like they were brick. To solve this problem, I used a square alpha map and repainted the border texture so that they combined bricks at right angles.


The other thing I was focusing on is noise. In a height map, I added a grunge grayscale map and expressed some noises on the wall. 

Next week, I am planning to work on the Decal by using a substance designer and photoshop. In addition, I’ll export them to the Unreal Engine, create decal, and make assets for the bridge.

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
