Lantern

Today I created a Lantern in maya (also a dodgy looking arm/hand), it’s an asset for the new game I’m producing for the narrative design unit of study at AIE. I won’t lie this lantern has a fair amount of tris, but being an object in front of the player for majority of the 60sec vertical slice it’ll be fine. I then added it to Unity and created a simple animation for it, I also added an area light with its own animation.  I still need to add a particle effect for the flame inside the lantern but that will come later on when I plan on focusing on the particle effects of the level. Currently just focusing on creating the meshes/3d models of the game.

Pains with Maya

i made a wicked house in Maya that was real hard and annoying but fun.

today we used Maya for the first time (for some people) myself included we had a half day to work in Maya first we started to make a house i didn’t get time to make the windows so sadly its was only a sweet, sweet door. after this we worked on a table and then after that a telephone.

overall my first experience with Maya was sad, teary and funny

Cave wall meshes complete.

Completed the cave wall meshes, I decided to make a semi-modular kit for putting them together. With 3 wall pieces, which can be rotated 180 degrees for a different look. I also created 2 corner pieces to work in different corners, inwards and outwards. Also would just like to remind everyone once again that when using Maya make sure you save regularly, or you could lose an hours worth of work or more.

Maya Models 23/6/17

Played around with Maya this morning, then made this small scene in Unity. I also added some particles and a spotlight for the red light on the cigar. If you take a look at the whiskey glass,  it has some problems because I deleted the faces so it wouldn’t have a top. Anyway that’s what I did this morning.

Maya Models

With the assignment hitting gold tomorrow, this afternoon I knocked together a few models in maya to pretty up my game, only put in around 5-15mins work per model.

Below you’ll find some single shots of the Models.

The Dog, cubes upon cubes.

Some sort of flowerbed. Again cubes upon cubes.

Lawnmower, player controller mesh. Not just blocks, used sphere and cylinder.

The Shed. Back to cubes, I also Used extruding a little bit just to give the shed roof a bit of overhang.

And the most basic of them all this Tree. A cylinder and a sphere or 2 ( I lied this one only took about a min to put together)

These may be basic, but they’ll do with getting a further understanding of the prototype across.
