Weekly Blog 11 : Coffin and Sword

This week, I was working on the Coffin and the Sword modeling and texturing. To model these, I was carefully observing the real structure of both of the coffin and the sword. So, let's move on the coffin part first.

 


    This is a modeling in ZBrush scene view and rendering in Unreal Engine which is in similar environment in our project scene.
    Before modeling, I need to fit the coffin to the our project theme "Hell". So, I was researching and look for the example images. Many coffin images and the concept arts had skull and skeleton on the top of the coffin. These images inspired me to reach out to my idea that the cloth on the top of the coffin seems to have a dead body on top and the cloth is stretched.
    When I began to start modeling, I was thinking that exporting obj has a flat surface on top of the coffin. However, I changed that while I was modeling the coffin. I found that there're two big things which push out, crossing arms and feet. Also, I added extra cubes to make cloth expression below of the arms.
    Exported version is low poly and high poly baked in Substance Painter, to reduce total polygon counts.

When I exported to Unreal Engine, there's a trouble that the UV set was separated and did not read the texture on top of the coffin. I was editing in Maya and changed UV sets from UV → UV set editor.

For modeling a sword, I thought that the era which strongly reflects holy stuffs and religion is middle ages (because our project theme is hell) and the most impressive sword in middle ages is the sword of knights. So the overall shape is inspired from the knights' swords. I added patterns on the side and decorations, made the sword looks it is in the Hell.

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...
