Sprint6Blog(470)

 From a modeler's perspective, I have had lots of fun making most of the assets in our game. Throughout all the sprints, I feel like I haven’t had any issues, and it has gone smooth. My team and I are now just fixing any bugs and are working on the finishing touches for our game. If I’m not mistaken, our velocity keeps going up and that has been awesome to see. Anyways, I will go over what I completed for the sprint and what I plan on doing next for the final sprint.

For the sprint, I completed a total of 4 different sets of cards, and I will start with the first. The first card that I tackled was making a throne decoration for the game. Something we plan on doing is taking the enemy model and making it stone to act as if there is a stone statue sitting in the throne, but it won’t be attacking the player of course. I would have to say this is probably one of the better-looking models I’ve made for our game and the stamps make it look a lot better. Overall, I’m very happy with the end result.












The second model that I completed was a cave entrance. This was a bit tricky at first, because I was wondering how I was going to start. I make this pretty simple, so first I got a cube and add lots of subdivisions to it and then curved and stretched it out to get the shape of the cave. Next, I used the sculpt tool to get the desired look of the cave. After doing that I used a tool called Difference or something like that which makes it so you can create holes in models which is how I got that open cave entrance look.











The next model that I completed was a wall which were supposed to be stakes. It was nothing complicated, but I just had to make them different heights, so it doesn’t just look like it's the same all around. For the texture, I just used an ordinary word texture which surprisingly looked pretty good in the end.







The last model that I tackled was a set of rocks and boulders. Similar to the cave, I got a preset and just added subdivisions. From There I added some twists to it and then just used the sculpt tool to give it that rock shape look. I’m not great at doing organic models but rocks were pretty cool to make.










Something I plan on doing in the next sprint is creating our poster for the game. I’m not the best and making that kind of art but I’ll see how I do. I may just try to make it simple but nice to look at for the least. Another thing that I’ll do is model some plates, just to use and extra decorations to set on tables since we already have glass bottles around the map.

In terms of the poster, I have a general idea of how the poster may look. I’m kind of bad at explaining things, but I want to have the throne model I made in the center with a stone model of the enemy sitting in it. In front of the throne with 3 on each side, I want to have the enemy models in a praising animation stance with the main enemy running at you in the direct center.

Overall, I’m happy with how our game is coming out and I’m excited to see it without any bugs, hopefully.

  Game Scene Final Project Post   The goal of this project was to create a scene from the game Sonic Adventure. Our team chose to work on Windy Valley, aiming to bring this level to life. The reason we chose this for our project is because it felt like something we could manage for the time given to us. While we did focus on some of the main assets in the game, we did add some of our own to give it that extra juice. In this post I will also go over the map layout and how we had originally had it planned out.  To start off the layout we started the player at the first island which had a pavilion and some tree which Vinh made which turned out great. The player would then cross the bridge to the next island where the player would be able to interact with the gravity cannon which I made in the first sprint. This cannon wouldn’t have worked without the help of Tang making the script for it to properly shoot out the player. My portion of the scene consisted of making the main island which

  From a 3D Artist’s perspective, the process of making a game hasn’t gone to well in terms of actually getting the work done. I have never actually had this problem in my past experiences and for this one, its due to my lack of experience in terrain modeling which really held me back this sprint. I was stuck on it for a few days, but this surprised me because I have used the sculpting tool in maya for previous projects and the outcome didn't come out bad at all so I thought I could tackle this task but I was wrong. One thing I did to fix this was communicate with my team Lead Tyla and Producer Anna and we all agreed to pass it onto someone who has more knowledge of sculpting to get the look of the terrain we wanted. That was really the thing that held me back and I should have spoke up sooner about it but everything is situated and I have finished up the other models that I was assigned.  Next, I will dive into all the cards and tasks that I was assigned for the first sprint. The
