Weekly Blog 7 : Juke Box

     For this week, I was modeling a retro Jukebox. My plan was to model more than 3 models, so it did not reach my goal. The reason is that I did not understand the structure of the Jukebox well and the shape is complicated to model.

    The key technique for this week is a combination of different objects/meshes. If all meshes are connected in a complicated shape object, there’re lots of edges and faces. I modeled each piece in separate objects.


Other tube was created by a sweep tool. But the image above is created by duplicated faces from the body of Jukebox. The reason why I chose this process is because I wanted to make a border natural. If every vertex on the mesh border is not matching, holes can be seen from the gap and need extra faces.

For menu pads, they are almost separate objects, pole structure and blade structure objects are all separated. I am planning to add an emission map, so there's mesh on the back of them and a part of the base of the menu pad. 

For the wire frame, I created it from the plane object. I deleted unnecessary faces and excluded every faces with turning off Keep Faces Together. After that, delete selected faces and the shape is almost done.

I also created a record player inside. I could not find the exact structure of a record player in the Juke box, so I created it with some reference images.
Total faces are almost 2200, This object can be placed only one in the game scene (diner), so I think there's an option that this can be more detailed. However, the player won't see carefully and any details can be expressed with texture and decals. Thus, I chose the option that be focusing on the detail which player will see.

To reflect this half of the project, there's no problem and everything is following the schedule. But the extra option to create a car does not seem to be done. This is just my concern. I'll finish up modeling and UV in next 3-4 weeks and after that, I'll do texturing, decals, and setup to render in Unreal Engine.

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
