Weekly Blog 8 : Studying Substance Designer and crack decals

This week, I was working on Designer and the Foliage tool in Unreal Engine. 
I was especially working hard on Designer to understand many nodes to create a nice decal.

First 2 images are options of the tree size. I'm going to change placement of the trees. Also, trees are strongly affected by the sky atmosphere, so I'm going to change it later, too.
 


These are images for Decal textures in Substance Designer, and below video is a tutorial which I studied.
I have an other texture, but I was following the tutorial videos. So it is not shown on this blog.
Second texture image is my original texture node after learning a tutorial video. In general, I was learning how to use Distance, Histogram and Flood fill nodes. Especially, Flood fill helps to create a gradation inside of each box and express a slope. Histogram node is useful in many situation. This node detects the grayscale or color range, and outputs layered image. Distance node is used to make random patterns and delete edges in my work this week.

This week was so valuable and meaningful to understand the nodes in Designer. My understanding to other node I knew also became more deeper. I noticed that I will watch tutorial videos and create by myself to understand well.

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
